Military Metals Uncovers 40.6% Antimony in West Gore Stockpile Grab Samples
West Gore’s historic antimony-gold mine roars back to life with Military Metals’ high-grade grab samples, as Nova Scotia fast-tracks mining approvals under Premier Tim Houston.

Military Metals has once again commanded the spotlight. On July 22, 2025, the company announced spectacular results from grab samples taken from the historical stockpile at its 100% owned West Gore Antimony-Gold Project in Nova Scotia. The highest-grade sample returned a staggering 40.6% antimony and 106.5 grams per tonne of gold, confirming the historical richness of the site that once served as a critical wartime producer for Canada. The average values from all five samples—17.94% antimony and 34.68 gpt gold—are more than encouraging. They reinforce not just the legacy of the deposit, but its modern-day potential as a cornerstone of domestic supply for two strategic metals.
CEO Scott Eldridge minced no words in his assessment. He called the findings “spectacular” and underscored that the results validate Military Metals’ exploration roadmap. These samples, collected from stockpiled material left behind by miners more than a century ago, affirm West Gore’s historical grades and hint at what might still lie beneath. The mine produced 32,000 metric tons between 1914 and 1917, yielding 3,220 metric tons of antimony and over 6,800 ounces of gold. Historical mining was selective, with ore likely hand-sorted at the surface. But today, using advanced exploration and modern technology, Military Metals seem to be looking to do what those early miners couldn’t—systematically uncover the full extent of the deposit and bring it into the 21st century.
