Mark Saxon Joins Military Metals Board, Strengthening Critical Metals Leadership

Military Metals strengthens its leadership team and secures full exploration control over the historic West Gore Antimony Project with the addition of industry veteran Mark Saxon to its Board of Directors.

Editorial Team (ET)May 28, 2025

Military Metals (CSE: MILI | OTCQB: MILIF), a mineral exploration company, recently made two significant announcements that strengthen both its leadership and its strategic asset base. The appointment of seasoned geologist Mark Saxon to its Board of Directors and the acquisition of additional claims at the historic West Gore Antimony Project underscore the company’s commitment to becoming a leader in the exploration and development of critical minerals. Saxon’s deep expertise in resource geology and critical metals, combined with the West Gore expansion, positions Military Metals to better serve global markets for essential materials such as antimony and gold. This article delves into how these developments enhance the company’s vision and capabilities.

Military Metals Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on securing critical minerals, particularly antimony, which is essential for various industrial applications. With a portfolio that spans high-potential brownfield sites, the company plays a crucial role in bolstering North American access to critical materials used in modern technology, defense, and renewable energy.

Appointment of Mark Saxon to the Board of Directors

With over 30 years in mineral exploration and resource geology, Mark Saxon brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience to Military Metals. His career has spanned continents, especially in Canada and Australia, where he has led substantial mineral discoveries and overseen major exploration projects. A graduate with First Class Honors in geology from the University of Melbourne, Saxon has a proven track record in developing resources vital for green energy, technology, and industrial applications.

Saxon’s expertise in critical materials, particularly antimony, aligns seamlessly with Military Metals’ mission. Known for his role as the Qualified Person (QP) for the NI 43-101 report on the Sunday Creek antimony-gold discovery, Saxon’s knowledge will be instrumental in guiding the company’s exploration of strategic metals. His experience with projects that encompass rare earth elements, lithium, base metals, and gold will enhance the company’s ability to execute its vision of securing valuable mineral resources in North America.

CEO Scott Eldridge’s Vision for Military Metals

Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals, emphasized the value Saxon brings to the Board. “On behalf of the board and our shareholders, I am excited to welcome Mark Saxon,” said Eldridge. “His extensive technical background and decades of capital markets experience will help us deliver on our strategy of advancing antimony markets through brownfield projects.” Eldridge sees Saxon’s appointment as a step forward in establishing Military Metals as a leading contributor to the critical metals market, particularly in the area of antimony, which is essential for battery technology, flame retardants, and defense applications.

West Gore Antimony Project: Strategic Expansion

Military Metals recently signed a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire additional claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project in Nova Scotia, expanding its exploration licenses by 388 hectares. The West Gore property, a historic brownfield site, was once Canada’s most prominent antimony mine and played a significant role during World War I. The project now consists of 973 hectares in total, covering the mineralized system and all known antimony-gold occurrences, consolidating Military Metals’ control over this resource-rich area.

The West Gore mine began production in 1883, providing significant quantities of antimony for the British war effort. Between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined, yielding over 7,000 metric tons of high-grade antimony concentrate. This acquisition now includes all historical mine workings, giving Military Metals full exploration control over the entire mineralized system.

With the West Gore expansion, Military Metals can comprehensively explore and potentially revitalize a historically productive site. The additional claims provide an integrated exploration field, allowing the company to consolidate historical data and apply modern geological techniques to uncover the region’s full mineral potential.

How Mark Saxon’s Expertise Aligns with the West Gore Expansion

Saxon’s background in critical metals exploration will be invaluable as Military Metals advances its work at West Gore. His understanding of complex geological structures and mineralized systems directly supports the company’s exploration strategy, particularly in regions with historic antimony production. Saxon’s role in developing projects for companies such as T2 Metals Corp, Mawson Gold Ltd, and Tasman Metals Ltd demonstrates his ability to navigate complex mineralized zones, making him a perfect fit to lead Military Metals’ strategic goals at West Gore.

With Saxon on the Board, Military Metals gains technical guidance that will shape its exploration at West Gore. His previous roles, including his work with Southern Cross Gold and Mawson Gold, underscore his capability to oversee projects from exploration through to resource definition. This expertise is particularly valuable as Military Metals compiles historical data into a digital database and develops a focused exploration plan for West Gore.

Geological Insights into West Gore’s Mineralization

The West Gore site features mineralization hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation. This mineralized zone, containing stibnite, native antimony, and antimony-gold alloys, is folded into a northeast-trending structure formed during the Acadian orogeny. With Saxon’s understanding of mineralized systems, Military Metals is well-positioned to maximize the value of the antimony-gold occurrences at West Gore.

As Military Metals finalizes its Definitive Agreement for the new claims, the company is preparing to initiate comprehensive exploration programs. By integrating historical data with Saxon’s technical expertise, the company aims to unlock the full mineral potential of West Gore, potentially tapping into one of North America’s few significant sources of antimony.

Conclusion

Military Metals’ dual announcements of Mark Saxon’s appointment and the West Gore expansion underscore its commitment to becoming a leader in critical metals exploration. Saxon’s deep experience in geology and mineral resources will be instrumental as the company advances its strategic goals at West Gore, consolidating one of Canada’s most historically significant antimony projects. With full control over the mineralized area and a strengthened Board, Military Metals is well-equipped to contribute to North American mineral security and support global supply chains in critical metals.
