“As Bitcoin continues to gain traction as a widely accepted and trusted asset class, we see a unique opportunity to strengthen our treasury with a resilient and innovative investment,” said Lorne Rapkin, CEO of Jiva Technologies. “Bitcoin’s inherent scarcity and finite supply position it as a modern hedge against inflation and a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty. We believe Bitcoin aligns with our forward-thinking strategy and complements our mission to drive innovation across all aspects of our business. The potential for favorable regulatory frameworks and increased institutional adoption, highlighted by the recent wave of Bitcoin ETFs, underscores Bitcoin’s value proposition and makes us believe it is an ideal asset for corporate treasuries seeking inflation-resistant stores of value,” Rapkin added.

While Bitcoin will now form part of Jiva Technologies’ diversified treasury strategy, the Company remains firmly committed to its core operations. This includes executing its previously announced joint ventures, driving growth in its plant subscription e-commerce platform, Bloombox Club, and continuing to develop its immersive wellness hub in Squamish, BC.

FN Media Group Presents Oilprice.com Market Commentary

LONDON, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — More than 100 years ago, a ship left a Nova Scotia harbor carrying a precious cargo that few today would recognize as valuable. The crew, full of optimism, was bound for Wales hoping that the metal they carried would lead them to riches. Unfortunately, they never made it.  Companies mentioned in this release include: United States Steel (NYSE: X), ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT), Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU), Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII), Leidos (NYSE: LDOS).

A German U-boat lurking in the cold Atlantic waters fired a torpedo and the ship went down, sinking to the ocean floor along with its mysterious cargo.

At the time, the metal seemed unimportant, but its true value wasn’t fully realized until later. Fast forward to today and that same metal is critical to modern military and industrial applications. That metal, once forgotten at the bottom of the sea is not gold or silver, but antimony—a mineral that has become a key player in global conflicts and high-tech industries alike.

This shipwreck might sound like an intriguing piece of history, but it’s far more than that. It’s a reminder of how vital antimony has been and continues to be for national security and economic stability.

Now, thanks to Military Metals Corp. (MILI.CN; MILIF.QB), the very same mine in Nova Scotia that once produced this valuable metal is being re-visited. And it couldn’t have come at a more crucial time.

Antimony: The Unsung Hero of Modern Warfare

Antimony might not be a household name, but it’s been an essential material in warfare for centuries. During both World War I and World War II, antimony was used in everything from bullet casings to explosives.

Today, it’s more important than ever. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, American manufacturers use over 50 million pounds of antimony each year.

That’s because antimony is a critical component in the production of semiconductors, batteries, and solar panels. From electronics to renewable energy, the modern world runs on antimony.

In short, antimony is critical to both offensive and defensive operations. Any disruption to the supply of this key mineral could have devastating effects on national security.

The Growing Threat of an Antimony Shortage

This is where things get concerning. For decades, the U.S. has relied on antimony imports from China. In fact, China controls nearly 50% of antimony mining and 80% of the world’s antimony production. This has put the U.S. in a precarious position, especially as tensions with China continue to rise.

The U.S. military is well aware of the risks. The Pentagon has been scrambling to secure a domestic source of antimony, recognizing that losing access to this vital mineral could severely impact America’s ability to defend itself.

That’s why Military Metals (MILI.CN; MILIF.QB) is stepping in at the perfect moment.

The company has taken a bold step with their plans to redevelop the historic West Gore Antimony Project in Nova Scotia. This mine was once a key source of antimony during both World War I. Today, it stands as one of the few potential sources of antimony in North America.

The company has also recently acquired one of Europe’s largest antimony deposits with a historical resource in Slovakia which could prove even more promising as tensions between Russia and Europe escalate.

The above table is data from their recent Slovakian acquisition and helps to show the potential in situ value of Military Metals.

Simply multiply the antimony tons (60,998) by the current spot price ($38,000) to arrive at a total of $2,000,000,000 in situ value of antimony in the ground. The company is merely $23 million at its current market cap with a healthy cash position. Also, the average grade of the resource is 2.478%, which is considered very high for antimony. Most antimony is produced at low grades as a by-product of some gold deposits.

By comparison, Perpetua Resources, which is in the process of receiving a $1.86-billion government loan to develop their strategic resource, is valued at around $700 million with 90,000 tons of antimony.

By announcing the definitive agreement on Slovakia assets as well as acquiring the West Gore project in North America, Military Metals Corp. is positioning itself as a critical player in the fight to secure domestic antimony production.

The company’s CEO, Scott Eldridge, has stated, “The acquisition of the West Gore Antimony Project demonstrates our strategy of becoming a significant global antimony player.”

Eldridge understands the importance of antimony not just for military use, but also for a wide range of industrial applications. He’s betting that as tensions with China escalate, the value of domestically produced antimony will skyrocket.

This isn’t just speculation. The U.S. government has already started investing heavily in securing domestic sources of critical minerals, including antimony. And Military Metals Corp., with its historic West Gore project, is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this growing demand.

The Strategic Importance of Domestic Antimony Production

The potential reopening of the West Gore mine is more than just a business opportunity. It’s a strategic move to safeguard North America’s supply of a mineral that could decide the outcome of the next global conflict.

Antimony is on the U.S. government’s list of critical minerals, and for good reason. Without it, the military cannot produce the advanced weapons systems needed to defend the country. As China tightens its grip on global antimony production, securing a domestic source has become a matter of national security.

Military Metals (MILI.CN; MILIF.QB) West Gore project is one of the only known sources of antimony in North America. This puts the company in a unique position to benefit from government initiatives aimed at stockpiling critical minerals.

With billions of dollars being allocated to secure domestic mineral supplies, companies like Military Metals Corp. stand to gain substantial financial support.

But it’s not just the government that’s interested. The private sector is also waking up to the importance of antimony. As industries like renewable energy and tech continue to grow, demand for antimony will only increase. And with China controlling most of the world’s supply, companies that can produce antimony domestically will be in high demand.

Antimony-Focused Strategy

The company has made it clear that it’s focused on acquiring and developing antimony resources across North America and with their latest definitive agreement announcement on two Antimony projects in Europe, they have a chance to be a global powerhouse. This strategy is designed to potentially make them one of the leading suppliers of antimony outside of China.

With the global antimony market expected to grow significantly in the coming years, Military Metals Corp. is positioning itself as a key player in what could be one of the most critical supply chain battles of the 21st century.

In addition to the definitive agreement for Slovakian assets, the company is actively exploring additional opportunities to acquire other antimony assets, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of this growing industry.
