iTech Minerals Uncovers Vast Antimony-Gold Corridor at Reynolds Range

Historical Data Illuminates New Opportunities

iTech Minerals Ltd (ASX – ITM) has leveraged detailed historical soil sampling data from the late 1990s to reveal a substantial antimony and gold mineralised corridor at its Reynolds Range project in the Northern Territory. The soil survey, originally conducted by Exodus Minerals and Normandy Mining, covered a grid of 100m by 50m and identified a corridor exceeding 6 kilometres in length and 2 kilometres in width, with mineralisation open to the north-east.

This corridor encompasses the Sabre, Falchion, and Lander prospects, where recent rock chip sampling by iTech has confirmed high-grade antimony and gold mineralisation. Notably, assays at Sabre have returned exceptional grades including 30.6% antimony paired with 2.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, and 11.2% antimony with 24 g/t gold, underscoring the project's potential.

Strong Mineralogical Correlation and New Targets

The company highlights a robust correlation between gold and antimony mineralisation, a relationship that enhances the prospectivity of the area. Falchion and Lander prospects also show promising grades, with Falchion rock chips yielding up to 15.9% antimony and 5 g/t gold, and Lander samples containing over 1% antimony alongside gold mineralisation.

Beyond these established prospects, iTech has identified a new cluster of antimony and gold soil anomalies in the south-western part of the survey area. This zone has seen limited modern exploration and will be the focus of upcoming mapping and sampling efforts, potentially expanding the known mineralised footprint.

Advancing Towards Drilling

With government drilling approvals expected imminently, iTech is preparing to mobilise a drill rig to test the depth extent of mineralisation beneath the high-grade surface outcrops at Sabre, Falchion, and Lander. The drilling campaign aims to validate the near-surface findings and explore the potential for deeper mineralised zones, which remain largely untested by previous drilling.

The Reynolds Range project covers four granted exploration licences spanning 791 square kilometres within the Paleoproterozoic Aileron Province. While iTech retains 100% rights to all commodities except lithium; which is subject to a joint venture with SQM International; this broad tenure provides a strategic platform for multi-commodity exploration.

Context and Outlook

Historical exploration in the region has been extensive but largely shallow, with over 3,300 holes averaging less than 10 metres depth, leaving fresh rock beneath surface cover largely untested. iTech’s integration of legacy data with modern sampling and forthcoming drilling could unlock significant value by delineating a new high-grade antimony-gold resource in a jurisdiction known for its mineral potential.

Managing Director Mike Schwarz expressed optimism about the scale and quality of the mineralised corridor, emphasizing the opportunity to discover additional near-surface mineralisation and the importance of the upcoming drill program in confirming the project's potential.
