Project overview
The Altura Antimony Project is positioned on the western area of Dolly Varden Mountain, roughly 29 kilometers northeast of New Denver, British Columbia – an area recognized for its strong antimony mineral potential.
-
The property consists of a persistent quartz vein carrying disseminated pyrite and argentiferous tetrahedrite and minor stibnite and chalcopyrite.
-
The vein strikes east, dipping 55 degrees north. It is 0.6 to 3.6 meters thick and has been traced for 600 meters.
-
The extension claim is on strike from Equinox Resources Inc.’s recent antimony discovery as announced on November 8, 2024, which saw ultra-high grade naturally occurring antimony at their Alturas Project, with assays up to 69.98% Sb.1

previous work
Equinox Resources Recent Discovery is Associated with Ultramafic Rock on the contact. Additional Ground was Staked to the Southeast With Same Magnetic and Geological Features as well as Mineralogy. Past explorers identified minerals with the same Visual Characteristics as Massive Stibnite.
-
A 4 kg sample of material selected from the dump assayed 1.3 grams per ton gold and 1596 grams per ton silver.
-
There is little geological information on the occurrence, however the 1928 Minister of Mines Annual Report describes a 1.2m quartz vein which carries disseminated to massive stibnite hosted in (or associated with) serpentinite ultramafic rock locally altered to listwanite quartz-carbonate-mariposite.1
