Titan

The 100% owned Titan property (“Titan”) in the Atlin mining district of British Columbia provides Geologica with a polymetallic property enhanced with critical metals Antimony (Sb) and Tellurium (Te).
China’s recent ban on Antimony shipments to the USA has resulted in an increase in the price of Antimony to $39,000 per tonne. In October shipments of Antimony to the USA dropped by 95%. There is a great need for development of a domestic supply of Antimony as China’s production is declining as grades decline and Australia’s only mine has less than 2 years of reserves.

ANTIMONY AT TITAN PROPERTY

The Buchans Creek showing at Titan is a high-grade polymetallic vein measuring 1-1.5 meters wide. This vein has been observed at three distinct locations along the surface and has been traced for 10-20 meters at each exposure. The vein is enriched in gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te). 2018 sampling results (Table 1) returned up to 11.4 g/t Au, 0.81% Cu, >100 g/t Ag, >0.2% Sb, and >0.1% Te. Concentrations of antimony, tellurium and silver were all over limit of the assays.
The Buchan Creek Showing was discovered in the early 1900s. Two chip samples across the 1.1 meters vein in 1989 averaged significant concentrations, 15.43 g/t gold, 244.8 g/t silver, 9.85% lead and 0.20% copper. A grab sample taken during Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. 2004 recce program returned > 1.0% Cu, > 100 g/T Ag and 21.8 g/T Au, (Higgs, 2012).
At the Buchan creek showing, Pb-, Au-, Ag-, Sb-in-soil geochemical anomalies, discernible for approximately 900 m along the strike projection of the mineralized structure. The inclusion of additional soil sampling extended the anomaly 650 metres to the north (Higgs2014). This discovery represents a highly contiguous anomaly that ranges from 50 m wide to 220 m wide from the showing and is up to 100 m wide 630 m away from the showing (Higgs 2014).
Airborne magnetic and EM surveys have traced anomalies extending from the Buchans Creek showing for 2 kilometers south-southeast, overlapping with the historical Rupert I showing, which contains historical grab samples grading up to 4.1 g/t Au, 237.6 g/t Ag, 11.8% Pb, and 0.60% Zn. (Higgs 2012).
At the Hook prospect area of the Titan, quartz veining was discovered 400-500 m on strike to the northwest of the 2008 62 g/t Au quartz vein showing (Higgs 2014).

Critical Mineral Significance

While historical exploration at Titan primarily focused on precious and base metals, recent sampling has identified elevated levels of antimony and tellurium. These elements are classified as critical minerals by the Canadian and U.S. governments due to their essential uses and supply constraints.
Antimony, a strategic critical mineral, is primarily produced in China and Russia, accounting for 70% of global production. With little antimony production in North America, the development of domestic supplies is critical. Analysts predict that global demand “cannot be met from current supplies” in the coming years. Antimony is crucial for military applications, digital circuitry, and next-generation liquid metal batteries, which are key to scalable energy storage for renewable sources like wind and solar power. The growing demand and limited supply have driven prices to record highs: European prices have surged to a record $39,000 per ton.
