Military Metals acquires past-producing antimony project in Nevada
The Last Chance property is situated in Nye county, Nevada, 11 miles west of the Round Mountain gold mine operated by Kinross.
Vancouver’s Graphite One (TSXV: GPH) has won a $4.7 million contract from the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) to develop a graphite and graphene-based foam fire suppressant and an alternative to existing per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), as required by US law.
Graphite One has teamed up with Vorbeck Materials, an experienced defense contractor, for the execution of the new contract.
In July 2023, Graphite One was awarded a $37.5 million grant from the DoD to accelerate the feasibility study for the company’s Graphite Creek project, located in the Kigluaik Mountains 60 km north of Nome, Alaska.
Graphite Creek is the largest such deposit in the United States, and among the largest in the world. It has measured and indicated resources of 32.5 million tonnes grading 5.25% graphitic carbon (Cg) and containing 1.7 million tonnes of graphite.
The inferred resource is 254.7 million tonnes at 5.11% Cg and containing 13.0 million tonnes of graphite. Proven and probable reserves include 22.5 million diluted tonnes grading 5.6% Cg and containing 1.3 million tonnes of graphite.
