A large deposit of antimony—a metal that is crucial for the defense and electronics industries—has been discovered in Eastern Europe, specifically in Slovakia. This finding was made as part of the Trojárová Antimony-Gold project, implemented by the Canadian company Military Metals Corp.

New Drilling Data
During geological exploration at the Trojárová Antimony-Gold site, seven boreholes were drilled, five of which revealed high concentrations of antimony, while four showed significant gold reserves. Notably, borehole 25-TVA-003 recorded 4.1% antimony over a 4.5-meter interval, with a separate section of 2.5 meters reaching a concentration of 7%.
Other boreholes also demonstrated promising results, with gold content recorded up to 10.52 g/t in short intervals, and in certain segments, over 9% antimony.
“Samples taken from the boreholes were sent to an independent commercial laboratory, ALS in Romania, for geochemical analysis, which confirmed the presence of these metals.”
Strategic Importance of Antimony for Europe
A total of 70 drilling operations have already been conducted at the Trojárová project, highlighting the scale of the exploration. This deposit is viewed as a key point for supplying Europe with antimony—a metal used in the production of military equipment, semiconductors, LEDs, and complex electronic circuits.
Due to its unique properties, antimony holds an important position in strategic sectors, underscoring its particular value for the further development of the defense sector and high-tech industry in Europe.
