VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stallion Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Stallion”) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: HM40) is pleased to announce that Quantec has completed the data acquisition phase of the geophysical survey on the Richmond Mountain Project in Nevada. The survey data is being processed and interpreted with the results of the survey forthcoming. Additionally, the company reports highly prospective results from exploration work completed on its Antimony Ridge target area in Idaho and provides an update on further exploration activity.
Antimony Ridge is located on Stallion’s 100% owned Horse Heaven Property and was the location of historical antimony mining activities in the 1950’s. Antimony is included on the list of critical and strategic minerals published by the US Geological Survey and antimony reserves on Perpetua Resources’ adjoining land package have spurred major US government investment in development of the adjacent property through the Department of Defense.
“Our sampling results are extremely encouraging – everything we sampled had significant gold and antimony mineralization,” said Drew Zimmerman, CEO of Stallion Uranium. “We look forward to the results of the additional work we did on the property this fall to assess its potential as a major antimony system, comparable to those at Stibnite just 10km east.”
Results of initial rock sampling conducted by Stallion Uranium geologists in 2022 demonstrated occurrence of widespread antimony-gold-silver mineralization over significant widths in multiple exposures on the property. Assay results are summarized in Table 1 and sample locations shown on Figure 1. Of the twenty-one chip samples collected, 18 contained >1ppm Au and 19 contained >0.1% Sb with discrete vein exposures returning up to 4.65 ppm Au, 70.5 ppm Ag and 19.1% Sb.

(1) Samples denoted “Chip Transect” were systematically sampled across denoted exposure length. While efforts were made to collect representative samples, sample results may not reflect true widths and grades of mineralized materials. Samples denoted “Grab” were selectively sampled from discrete zones of mineralization.
(2) Sample lengths are approximate and may not be representative of true widths
(3) Samples were partially composited by laboratory, results may not be representative of in-situ mineralization
Mineralization at Antimony Ridge occurs as veins and disseminations in pervasively oxidized granodiorite within a northeasterly trending structural corridor oblique to the broader Johnson Creek Shear Zone. Systematic rock chip sampling of the upper trench and cut face identified broad zones of disseminated and stockwork hosted gold-antimony mineralization over widths of approximately 34m and 12m respectively, cross-cut by narrower stibnite-quartz veins and shears containing higher grade antimony-silver mineralization. Grab samples from stibnite and quartz vein exposures in the lower trench are representative of discrete, high-grade zones.
On the back of the strong results the Company mobilized geologists to the Horse Heaven project to gather additional rock sampling and undertake further geological mapping to expand known limits of mineralization, validate historical data sets, improve understanding of structural controls on mineralization and guide future exploration activities on the Antimony Ridge target zone. Updates on the additional work will be released when available.

Quality Assurance
Chip transect and grab rock samples were collected from outcropping bedrock by geological contractors using rock hammer and shipped under chain of custody to ALS Chemex, Reno, NV. Samples were crushed, split and pulverized to 85% passing 75um. Gold assays are by a 30g Fire assay charge with AAS finish. Silver assays are by Aqua Regia with ICP-AES finish. Antimony <1% is by is by ICP-AES. Antimony >1% is by potassium chloride/HCl digest with AAS finish.
While efforts were made to collect representative samples, it should be noted that surface rock samples and associated assays reported herein, are selective by nature and therefore may not necessarily be representative of true widths and grades of mineralized zones.
Additionally, the Company announces that it has engaged Volans Capital Corp. (“Volans”) of Vancouver, BC, to provide digital marketing and advertising services for a term of three (3) months commencing on November 15, 2023, pursuant to an agreement dated November 14, 2023, in consideration of a one-time payment of USD $400,000.
