Trigg Minerals Executive Chairman Timothy Marrision joined Steve Darling from Proactive’s OTC studio in New York City to announce the discovery of high-grade antimony and tungsten mineralization beneath the primary Wild Cattle Creek deposit. The company has just starting trading on the OTCQB market under the symbol TMGLF. Paterson said recent assays at Wild Cattle Creek confirmed grades of 2.14% tungsten (Hole 10WRD16) and 27.6% antimony (Hole 10WRD16W), with a parallel structure averaging 13% antimony and 1.03% tungsten.
Morrison highlighted that drilling results indicate an underlying gold system and significant mineral enrichment within the stockwork alteration of the Wild Cattle Creek deposit. This discovery suggests that further exploration could unlock additional value, similar to known deposits such as Hillgrove and Costerfield. The identification of tungsten within the deposit opens the door for expanded drilling programs targeting tungsten-rich zones. Trigg Minerals is also considering resource re-estimation to incorporate tungsten and gold as by-products, pending further drilling results. Additionally, the company plans to re-evaluate metallurgical recovery processes to optimize tungsten extraction alongside antimony.
Recognizing tungsten at potentially economic grades increases the likelihood of additional metal credits, enhancing the project’s overall economic feasibility. Morrison highlighted the growing strategic importance of antimony, a critical mineral used in military applications, semiconductors, solar panels, and as a fire retardant. As a Western source of antimony, Trigg Minerals aims to address supply chain disruptions caused by China's export ban on antimony products to the US, which has significantly increased global prices.
