Decade Acquires Antimony Claim
Decade Acquires Antimony Claim
Stewart, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 13, 2025) - Decade Resources Ltd (TSXV: DEC)
("Decade") reports that it staked 1742 ha covering a major shear structure hosting antimony mineral
(stibnite) in the Golden Triangle area of BC. The property is located 40km NE of Stewart BC within the
Bowser Basin sediments.
The mineralization was discovered by E. Kruchkowski. President of the Company in 2004 while working
as a consultant for a junior company. The lack of appreciable precious metals in the shear resulted in the
claim being dropped. With the recent interest in antimony properties, the Company acquired the project
area to evaluate for Antimony content.
According to the ARIS report on this shear:
"A strong quartz-stibnite vein system up to 5 meters wide
shear zone has been traced on the ground over a strike length of 300 meters based on aerial view
extending beyond the 300 meters that was sampled. The zone consists of individual 2-5 meter wide
brecciated zones with quartz filling the voids between clasts. Locally the zone will be entirely quartz
filled. Numerous splays to the shear zone extend the overall width of the zone up to 15 meters in
several places. In these locations, veins up to 4-5 meters wide, separated by weakly brecciated
argillite form the east and west walls to the zones. Locally massive stibnite and arsenopyrite form
pockets and stringers of mineralization that is up to 15-20 cm wide within the breccias. Pyrite is
common in the brecciated argillite but is not common in the quartz."
Out of 8 grab samples taken in 2004 in the vicinity of the shears,6 analyzed over limits for Antimony and
arsenic (all samples of heavily mineralized shear). Silver values ranged from 12.1 to a high of 65 g/t.
Antimony which is considered a critical mineral by the Government of Canada, is a mineral primarily
used as a flame retardant and alloying agent in lead-acid batteries, ammunition, and semiconductors. It
also has strategic applications in defense and energy storage technologies, making it a high-priority
material for many governments. The global antimony market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030, driven by rising demand in renewable energy storage
and military applications.
China which dominates global antimony production, accounting for over 70% of supply, banned exports
of antimony to the United States, citing its dual military and civilian uses. further causing supply chain
concerns.
