Critical One Discovers Gold Mineralization at Howells Lake Project in Canada, Antimony Zone Extended Approximately 70 Meters

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Critical One Energy (CSE:CRTL) has reported new drilling results from the Howells Lake antimony-gold project in northwestern Ontario, Canada, discovering gold mineralization and further extending the "high-grade" antimony zone.

Drill hole HWL-2026-016 returned "high-grade" antimony assay results, extending the mineralized zone approximately 70 meters northeast of previous drill holes. The new assay results confirm additional near-surface antimony mineralization, as well as the northeastern extension of the "high-grade" antimony zone. The mineralized structure trends approximately 55 degrees to the northeast and remains open for further drilling.

Antimony mineralization results include: 4.1 meters grading 2.87% antimony (Sb) from 18.2 meters; 2.2 meters grading 4.09% Sb from 22.3 meters; and 1.1 meters grading 3.42% Sb from 25.5 meters.

Gold mineralization in the same drill hole includes: 3.3 meters grading 1.02 g/t gold (Au) from 15.9 meters, and 2.2 meters grading 1.14 g/t Au from 22.3 meters.

Chief Executive Officer Duane Parnham stated that the grade characteristics and continuity of the "high-grade," near-surface antimony continue to validate management's confidence in the Howells Lake project and further support a potential direct-shipping scenario. The newly discovered high-grade gold mineralization also adds another potential source of economic value to the deposit.

The company plans to continue drilling along the interpreted "high-grade" antimony structure to the northeast and down-dip. The project is located in the Thunder Bay Mining Division, approximately 120 kilometers west of the Ring of Fire corridor.
