Will Military Metals’ New Drill Results Fuel the US Strategic Mineral Vault?
How Slovakia’s High-Grade Gold and Antimony Breakthrough Aligns with America’s $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile.
Forget the usual sluggish pace of mineral exploration; the race for critical minerals has officially entered the "sprint" phase. As of early February 2026, the intersection of high-stakes diplomacy and high-grade geology has never been more visible. While the White House is busy cutting ribbons on a massive new $12 billion strategic reserve, a junior Canadian explorer is pulling "eye-popping" gold and antimony numbers from the ground in Slovakia, a combination that might just make them a key player in the West's latest attempt to break China's grip on the supply chain.
The recent data from Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI | OTCQB: MILIF) regarding its flagship Trojárová Project isn't just a win for the company; it’s a data point in a much larger geopolitical chess match. The company just reported a drill hole featuring 23.5 meters of 3.3 g/t gold, which includes a particularly dense four-meter stretch of 10.52 g/t gold. While those are impressive numbers for a precious metals play, the real "critical" kicker is the 1.9 meters of 2.53% antimony found in the same hole.
