Albright Metals (ASX:ABR) has restarted drilling at the Golden Pike Project in New Brunswick, Canada, targeting the Bond Road and Albright Brook prospects for antimony.
The company will cover 460m of drilling for three holes, targeting ‘high-grade’ antimony veins within interpreted fault structures.
A drilling contractor has mobilised to the Bond Road prospect, with the rig to move to the Albright Brook prospect after completion.
Assays are expected to be returned in the next eight weeks, with sampling of drill core already beginning.
Albright paused antimony exploration at the project in January 2026 due to unseasonal heavy rain. The company was able to complete part of the diamond core drilling campaign.
CEO Greg Hill says the company is looking forward to completing its first ever antimony exploration campaign following the suspension of activities.
“With the weather now more stable we have secured a rig slot to finish this drilling program,” Hill says.
Exploration at Bond Road comprises a planned five holes for drilling, following surface boulders and soil samples returning up to 57% antimony in assays.
The campaign also includes two follow up holes at the Albright Brook prospect, after returning 0.5m @ 12.5% antimony from 76.5m and 0.3m @ 4.74% antimony from 17.7m.
Albright Metals is a mineral explorer focused on antimony, copper, gold, lithium, and manganese across Australia and Canada.
