Krakatoa Resources (ASX:KTA) has intersected visible antimony mineralisation at both the underground adit and surface diamond holes drilled at the Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project in Georgia.
From 18 adit core holes, 16 holes intersected visible antimony, with additional mineralisation zones with potential gold. In surface drilling, 12 of 15 holes intersected visible antimony-rich veins.
Executive Chairman Colin Locke says the visible intersections “reinforce the project’s potential to become a strategic asset in Europe’s critical minerals supply chain”.
“With assays due shortly and all the data to feed into converting the existing foreign resource estimate to a maiden JORC resource in 2026, momentum across the project continues to build,” Locke adds.
“For our shareholders, Zopkhito represents exposure to one of the few emerging projects capable of delivering secure, high-value antimony and gold into Western markets — a position we believe will translate into substantial value for our shareholders.”
Zopkhito currently hosts a resource estimate of 225,000 tonnes at 11.6% antimony and 7.1 million tonnes at 3.7g/t gold, and the current drill program is designed to validate the historical results and provide a new foundation for the company’s maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource. Assays are pending and expected in Q4 2025 – Q1 2026.
Krakatoa Resources is advancing the Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia, while also exploring for other critical and precious metals in Australia.
