Maxus Mining announces drilling program at british columbia antimony project

Maxus Mining Inc. (CSE: MAXM) announced plans for its first drilling program at the Alturas West Project in British Columbia, Canada. The company will conduct up to 2,000 meters of diamond drilling to test exploration targets and expand known antimony mineralization zones.

The exploration program includes surface sampling, early-stage metallurgical testing, and ore-sorting studies to evaluate processing characteristics. Maxus has engaged Geotech Ltd. to complete a VTEM airborne electromagnetic survey across the project to support drill targeting.

The Alturas West Project encompasses the historic Alps-Alturas Antimony Mine, which produced over 95 tonnes of material averaging 57.2% antimony content, according to historical records cited by the company.

"We are excited to advance Alturas West through a focused and disciplined exploration program in 2026," said Scott Walters, Chief Executive Officer of Maxus Mining. "By advancing metallurgical understanding early, we aim to accelerate the potential pathway to production and contribute to establishing a secure, domestic antimony supply for North America."

The drilling will focus along mapped shear zones where antimony mineralization occurs. The company plans to integrate VTEM survey results with historical datasets and recent fieldwork to refine drill targets. Surface sampling campaigns will expand geochemical coverage across the project area.

Maxus operates a portfolio of approximately 15,098 hectares across British Columbia, including 8,920 hectares across three antimony projects. The company's other properties include the Lotto Tungsten Project and Penny Copper Project.

The information is based on a company press release statement.
