NSJ Antimony Corp (CSE: NSJ) (FSE: 9PZ0) has announced the completion of its first phase drilling program at the Antimony 2.0 project in New Brunswick, Canada. The program comprised 11 drill holes totalling 3,469 metres of NQ drilling across a project footprint of approximately 72 km². Core logging, sample selection, and laboratory analysis are now underway, with investors watching for assay results that could define the mineralization potential of the property.

Key Points

  • NSJ Antimony Corp (CSE: NSJ) (FSE: 9PZ0) is an antimony-focused exploration company developing the Antimony 2.0 property in New Brunswick.
  • The company completed 11 drill holes totalling 3,469 metres of NQ drilling, targeting two areas of anomalous antimony and gold soil results.
  • Core was delivered to the New Brunswick government facility near Sussex on October 20, 2026; the first batch of samples has been sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Fredericton.
  • Investors may be watching for assay results following laboratory analysis using aqua regia digestion and fire assay methods.

First Phase Drill Program Targets Antimony and Gold Soil Anomalies in New Brunswick

NSJ Antimony Corp announced on November 4, 2026, that it has completed the first phase of drilling at its Antimony 2.0 project. The 11-hole program, totalling 3,469 metres of NQ drilling — excluding 93 metres of casing and NW intervals — was designed to test for bedrock mineralization associated with two areas of anomalous antimony and gold soil results. Hole locations and orientations were guided by soil geochemistry and induced polarization survey data. Total hole advancement, including excluded intervals, reached 3,562 metres.

Core Handling and Sample Submission to Actlabs Now Underway

Drill core was delivered by iCor Drilling Services to the New Brunswick government core storage and cutting facility near Sussex on October 20, 2026. On-site personnel photographed core in boxes with metreage markers during drilling. Selected intervals are being marked, photographed, and sawn, with half-core placed in individually tagged bags for shipment. The first batch of samples has been delivered to Actlabs at its Fredericton sample preparation facility, where multi-element analysis will use aqua regia digestion with ICP-OES, and gold analysis will use fire assay with atomic absorption finish.

Rigorous QA/QC Protocols Govern Assay Reporting at Antimony 2.0

NSJ will submit one core duplicate per 20 primary sample intervals as part of its quality assurance program. Actlabs' Ontario laboratories hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for specified tests and apply standard internal QA/QC protocols, reporting quality-control results with each assay batch. Laboratory and project duplicate results will be reviewed before any assay data are accepted for reporting. The technical content of the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Adrian Davis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Geological Setting Links Antimony 2.0 to Historic Lake George Mine District

The Antimony 2.0 property sits within interbedded Silurian greywacke and argillite — the same geological package characterising the former Lake George Antimony Mine, located approximately 15 km to the southwest. The release notes that Lake George was North America's only primary antimony producer, operating intermittently from the 1860s to 1998 and supplying as much as 4% of global antimony demand from 1970 through 1992. The immediate share price impact was not clear from available public information.
