Resolution Minerals hits 99% recovery at Antimony Ridge
Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML) announced metallurgical results from its Antimony Ridge Project.
Recent laboratory testing conducted by IMO Labs in Western Australia has achieved a near-complete recovery of stibnite from lower-grade mineralisation samples.
Initial rougher flotation testing on a 15-kilogram sample—containing less than 10% antimony—returned a 99.5% sulphur recovery.
The figures provide a high level of confidence for future operations, suggesting that even if high-grade ore is diluted by waste material during the extraction process, the mineral remains highly recoverable.
This follows previous successful testing where a 99.38% antimony trioxide concentrate was produced using conventional volatilisation methods.
Strategically, Resolution Minerals is positioning Antimony Ridge as the cornerstone of a broader Idaho-based hub designed to supply essential metals, including tungsten and gold.
The project’s potential scale is supported by 3D modelling that identifies a 0.68-square-kilometre area rich in vein swarms and stockworks.
The company is shifting its focus to the Golden Gate target, where a 13,700-metre diamond drilling programme is scheduled to commence this week.
The intensive exploration campaign aims to define the depth of gold mineralisation and underpin a maiden mineral resource estimate slated for early 2027.
At the time of reporting, Resolution Minerals' share price was $0.060.
