Alturas Antimony Project
British Columbia

Engagement Overview

Exploration Intelligence introduced the Alturas Antimony Project to Equinox Resources Limited (ASX: EQN) and supported the Company during its initial evaluation and acquisition process.

Equinox Resources subsequently entered into a binding option agreement to acquire 100% of the project, as disclosed to the ASX on 10 September 2024.

Project Snapshot

    • High-grade stibnite hosted in shear zones

  • Key Attributes:

    • Ultra–high-grade historical production

    • Near-surface mineralisation

    • Tier-1 jurisdiction

    • Clear permitting pathway

Role & Scope

Exploration Intelligence’s role included:

  • Project identification and introduction

  • Early-stage technical and historical review

  • Risk screening and acquisition support

  • Strategic input during option and diligence phase

Subsequent Progression

Following the initial introduction and acquisition of the Alturas Antimony Project, Equinox Resources progressed the project through early-stage validation and fieldwork.

After securing the option, Equinox undertook reconnaissance sampling and geological mapping across the historic workings and along the main mineralised structure. This work confirmed a continuous ~1.5 km mineralised shear zone, extending beyond the historically mined areas and remaining open along strike.

Subsequent rock chip sampling returned exceptionally high antimony grades, including results approaching the theoretical maximum grade of stibnite. These results were among the highest naturally occurring antimony grades reported on the ASX (69.98%), materially validating the historical production records and the geological model underpinning the acquisition.

The confirmation of both scale and grade materially advanced the project’s technical standing and supported its progression within Equinox Resources’ broader critical minerals strategy.
