Antimony Resources Seals C$3 Million Placement With Single Mining Backer as Bald Hill Drilling Nears Restart

Antimony Resources has secured the entire planned size of its latest capital raise from one industry buyer, a vote of confidence that lands just as the explorer prepares to send rigs back to its Bald Hill property. The company said order books for the placement closed early, with a single strategic mining investor taking down the whole tranche. Shares finished Friday at 0.2050 euro, up 7.6% on the day — a move the company did not directly attribute to any single development.

One Buyer, No Syndicate

Under the placement, Antimony Resources intends to issue up to 10 million units priced at C$0.30 apiece, raising gross proceeds of up to C$3 million. No banking syndicate is involved. Each unit bundles one common share with half a warrant, and a full warrant carries the right to buy one additional share at C$0.50 for two years. Closing is scheduled for 21 October 2026, subject to customary conditions.

Having a sector investor absorb the full allocation spares the company a drawn-out marketing process and gives management visibility on funding as it lines up its operational calendar.

Assays Set the Stage for a Resource Estimate

The cash is earmarked chiefly for advancing Bald Hill, alongside general working capital. It follows drill results released on Wednesday from the property's Main Zone, where hole BHW-26-19 cut 21.45% antimony over 1.10 metres and 15.0% over 0.8 metres. Those high-grade intervals sit inside a broader mineralised envelope of 13.0 metres averaging 4.36% antimony.

Field work is set to resume within two weeks, with several rigs mobilised at the outset. The campaign will chase the higher-grade mineralisation southward toward the Central Zone, building on the continuity confirmed so far. Consistently strong grades across economically meaningful widths are the yardstick in antimony exploration, and evidence of a southern extension would reinforce the property's overall geological model. The drilling is also meant to expand and tighten up the known mineralisation, laying the groundwork for a maiden resource estimate.

GBC Keeps Its Buy Call

GBC AG weighed in on Thursday, with analysts Cosmin Filker and Matthias Greiffenberger reiterating a "BUY" rating and a price target of C$2.52 running to 31 December 2027. The research house noted that its fair value per share is now lower than before. Even after Friday's advance, the stock trades 81% below its 52-week high on European venues, and at a market capitalisation of EUR 26.56 million it remains a thinly capitalised resource name.

The financing picture is broader than the unit placement alone: Antimony Resources has also completed a flow-through raise grossing C$5,000,000, adding further liquidity to the balance sheet. For explorers, dependable funding is the bedrock of the business — sustained field programmes and laboratory work are expensive, and the fresh money buys room to run the exploration steps without slipping behind schedule.

Whether the secured liquidity marks a lasting turn in the share price will hinge on how the resource definition at Bald Hill develops from here.
