NSJ Antimony Corp. (CSE: NSJ) (FSE: 9PZ0) has announced the completion of its first phase drilling program at its Antimony 2.0 property in New Brunswick, Canada. The company drilled 11 holes totalling 3,469 metres of NQ core, targeting two areas of anomalous antimony and gold soil results. Core logging and sample selection are now underway, with the first batch of samples already delivered to a certified laboratory. Investors are watching closely as assay results will determine the significance of the mineralisation encountered.

Key Points

  • NSJ Antimony Corp. (CSE: NSJ) (FSE: 9PZ0) is a Vancouver-based antimony exploration company developing the Antimony 2.0 property in New Brunswick.
  • The company completed 11 drill holes totalling 3,469 metres of NQ drilling, with total hole advancement of 3,562 metres including casing intervals.
  • Core samples have been delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Fredericton for preparation and multi-element and gold analysis.
  • Investors should watch for assay results, which must pass QA/QC review before the company accepts them for formal reporting.

Drilling Targets Antimony and Gold Anomalies Across 72 km² New Brunswick Project

The first-phase program tested bedrock mineralisation associated with two areas of anomalous antimony and gold identified through previous soil geochemical surveys. Hole locations and orientations were guided by soil geochemistry and induced polarization survey data. The project covers approximately 72 km², including contiguous direct and indirect claim interests, and benefits from access via provincial and logging roads as well as hydroelectric power. The geological setting mirrors the Silurian greywacke and argillite package hosting the former Lake George Antimony Mine, located approximately 15 km to the southwest.

Core Delivery and Laboratory Analysis Now Underway at Actlabs Fredericton Facility

Drill core was delivered by iCor Drilling Services to the New Brunswick government core storage and cutting facility near Sussex on October 20, 2026. Following detailed logging and sample selection, the first batch of core samples has been shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. at its Fredericton sample preparation facility. Actlabs will conduct multi-element analysis using aqua regia digestion with an ICP-OES finish, and gold analysis using fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. The Ontario-based Actlabs laboratories hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for specified tests.

Rigorous QA/QC Protocols Govern Sample Handling Before Results Are Accepted

NSJ's quality assurance program requires one core duplicate per 20 primary sample intervals, with duplicate insertions staggered relative to Actlabs' internal controls where practical. Each sample is assigned a unique ID linked to hole and depth interval, and retained core is photographed before dispatch. Laboratory QA/QC outcomes and project duplicate results will be reviewed before any assay data are accepted for formal reporting. The technical content of the announcement was reviewed and approved by Adrian Davis, P.Geo., the company's designated Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
