VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2024 / Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF)(FSE:J0G) (the “Company” or “Stillwater”) is pleased to announce the completion of a property-wide geophysical airborne survey and a breakthrough in 3D geologic modeling of the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex. This new data will drive continued advancement of the project including drill campaigns and the expansion of mineral resources, among other objectives at its flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana.

Highlights

• Property-wide geophysical surveys completed in September 2024 informed the first-ever detailed 3D geologic model of the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex;
• The model demonstrates continuity of mineralization across the 9.5-kilometer length of lower Stillwater Igneous Complex which hosts the Company’s current resources in five deposits at Stillwater West project;
• Historically, continuity of mineralization across the entire surface expression of the magmatic layers of the Stillwater Igneous Complex has been demonstrated primarily by Sibanye-Stillwater’s J-M Reef deposit, a high-grade PGE-bearing nickel-copper sulphide deposit that spans more than 40km and supports the highest-grade palladium-platinum mines in the world, and;
• Stillwater’s current resources of 1.6 billion pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 3.8 million ounces of palladium, platinum, rhodium, and gold are hosted in five deposits that remain open for expansion along trend and at depth across 9.5-kilometers at the center of the 61-square-kilometer Stillwater West project, which is adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater along approximately 32km of strike within the Stillwater Igneous Complex.

Stillwater’s President and CEO, Michael Rowley, said “The team’s work this year regarding both the airborne survey and also the detailed geologic model confirm the expansion potential we see in several possible mining scenarios at Stillwater West and inform our campaigns to reach that objective. Together we have successfully leveraged a substantial database including approximately 40,000 meters of drilling to date to complete the first ever geologic model of the lower part of this famously productive and metal-rich American mining district, with a focus on magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralization. That wealth of data, combined with Glencore plc’s backing and in-house expertise from similar geology in South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex, has positioned us exceptionally well with robust inventories of nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum group elements and chromium in an active American mining district at a time when the US is aggressively looking to diminish the current heavy import reliance of nine of the commodities we have inventoried.”

“We look forward to further announcements with a focus on continued expansion at Stillwater West while also turning our attention to various studies relating to potential production scenarios. Updates on other initiatives, including pursuit of government funding, monetization of non-core assets, CO2 sequestration and geologic hydrogen studies are also expected.”

Property-Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey
Expert Geophysics Ltd. has completed the geophysical surveys over the Stillwater West project as announced July 18, 2024. The surveys, designed and executed in collaboration with Glencore plc via the Stillwater West technical committee, totaled approximately 1,170 line-kilometers and included test surveys over the Chrome Mountain resource area for the purpose of comparing the TargetEM26 time-domain electromagnetic (“EM”) survey with the MobileMTm magneto-telluric (“MMT”) survey. Evaluation of these test surveys alongside the first generation DIGHEM airborne EM survey flown over the project in 2000, together with smaller surveys and extensive ground-based Induced Polarization (“IP”) and magnetic/VLF by the Company, resulted in the decision to fly the property-wide survey using the MMT system. The decision was based on the MMT system’s demonstrated ability to better distinguish and define multiple conductive targets, and to greater depths.

Stillwater, along with input from Glencore, is now fine-tuning multiple large-scale priority conductive drill targets across the 12-kilometer main resource area in addition to ranking additional large, untested conductive targets across the broader 61-square-kilometer property based on preliminary results of the 2024 survey. Detailed results of the approximately 178 and 992 line-kilometer EM and MMT (respectively) surveys, plus related VLF and magnetic surveys completed by Expert, will be the subject of a subsequent news release as final results become available.

Geologic Model
The development of a new 3D geologic model of Stillwater West is a major milestone in the advancement of the project as it is the first time the lower portion of the iconic Stillwater Igneous Complex has been modeled in detail. Developed by the Company from over 40,000 meters of drill data in addition to recent mapping and geophysical surveys, it effectively connects the east and west ends of a large and world-class district and provides a roadmap to expansion of the Company’s resources and advancement of the overall project, which is focused on the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex.

Figure 1 presents a long section view of the 3D model, focused on 9.5 kilometers in area of the current resources, within the core of the 32-kilometer-long Stillwater West project. The highly prospective Peridotite Zone is shown hosting all deposits from the January 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate and demonstrating the expansion potential that remains untested to date in all directions: between deposits, down dip, and along strike. Strong correlations are shown between the Peridotite Zone, geophysical anomalies, and geochemical soil anomalies across the Stillwater West project, demonstrating exceptional expansion potential.

The surface expression of the J-M Reef deposit is also shown. In production since 1986, the J-M Reef deposit is a 40-kilometer-long high-grade PGE-bearing nickel and copper sulphide reef-type deposit that is located stratigraphically above Stillwater West. Currently mined in three locations by Sibanye-Stillwater, the J-M Reef is known as the highest-grade palladium-platinum deposit in the world. It has been drilled and mapped extensively since its discovery in the early 1970s and is an indicator of the continuity of mineralization across the parallel magmatic layers of the Stillwater Igneous Complex, including the adjacent Stillwater West project.

Vice-President of Exploration Dr. Danie Grobler, said, “Recent breakthroughs in our detailed geological model show pronounced continuity of the mineralized zones along strike in the layered Stillwater Igneous Complex. This is further enhanced by our understanding of the geometry and orientation of these units at depth, improving our confidence in completing successful intersections in future drill campaigns. Preliminary results from the latest geophysical airborne survey – which was designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the prospective lower Stillwater Igneous Complex – indicates strong electromagnetic anomalies along the footwall contact zone of the Stillwater West project which are consistent with the massive sulphide and contact-style Ni-Cu sulphide-rich bodies that we targeted with the survey. These anomalies form important Platreef-contact-style targets for testing in planned upcoming drill campaigns.”

Dr. Grobler continued, “It is further anticipated that the survey will open the remainder of the strike length held by the Company for exploring high confidence discovery targets in the future. This season also included a follow-up confirmatory investigation by our technical advisor, Professor Wolfgang Maier, who is in the process of completing a detailed collaborative scientific paper on the Peridotite Zone of the Stillwater Igneous Complex, as first author. This work has enhanced our understanding of the geochemistry and mineralization styles and controls of the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex stratigraphy.”

Government Funding
The Company is now partner to USD 2.75M in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) via two grants under the Advanced Research Projects Agency program via collaborations with Cornell University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as announced February 14, 2023, and August 15, 2024, in addition to work with the US Geological Survey and state organizations.

The Company has been partnered with the US Geological Survey at Stillwater West for over six years, continuing their multi-decade interest in the Stillwater Igneous Complex.

Stillwater is pursuing additional US government funding, including recent applications in response to announced opportunities available through the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense.

Parallels With the South Africa’s Bushveld Complex
The Stillwater Igneous Complex is well-known to parallel South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex, and developments at the Stillwater complex have generally paralleled those at the Bushveld, highlighting their significant geologic similarities. For example, Sibanye-Stillwater’s high-grade J-M Reef deposit was discovered by the direct application of geologic models developed during discovery of the high-grade Merensky reef deposit in the Bushveld.

More recent developments on the Bushveld have focused on the Platreef deposits, in the northern limb of the Bushveld, which depart from the conventional narrow reef-type mines that dominate global platinum group element mining with the occurrence of thick mineralized horizons that support bulk mining techniques and include much higher battery metal content. The mines of the Platreef are among the largest and most profitable in the world, and their mix of commodities offers an attractive internally hedged suite of in-demand critical minerals that is globally very rare. Starting with ¹ Anglo American’s PGE-Ni-Cu Mogalakwena mines in 1993 and continuing today with ² Ivanhoe’s underground Platreef mine, these mines have demonstrated the world-class nature of these bulk-tonnage, critical mineral systems within the Bushveld complex. With more than 20 billion pounds of nickel and copper in sulphide mineralization, and over 200 million ounces of platinum group metals and gold, these two mines are known primarily as platinum group element mines yet are also the largest nickel mines in South Africa.

Platreef-style deposits also compare very favorably in an environmental sense as they contain nickel sulphide mineralization that is capable of producing nickel metal with a much smaller footprint than nickel recovered from laterite deposits, which currently provides the majority of global nickel supply. Additional environmental benefits are possible through reaction of atmospheric carbon dioxide with certain ultramafic rocks present in Platreef-style deposits, and the production of hydrogen from those rocks. Testwork is underway to evaluate the potential for commercial-scale carbon sequestration and hydrogen production during a possible mining operation Stillwater West.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 5, 2023 / Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF) (the “Company” or “Stillwater”) is pleased to provide an update on diamond drilling completed at the Company’s flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana in 2023, and other initiatives.

Highlights – Stillwater West

• The 2023 drill campaign focused on expansion of the NI 43-101-compliant resources, announced on January 25, 2023 (the “2023 Resource”), with particular focus on expanding recent high-grade discoveries at Chrome Mountain at the west end of the nine-kilometer-long resource area.
• Six holes totaling 2,310 meters were completed within and outside of the current resource area, west and south of the current DR-Hybrid deposit, as part of a planned multi-phase program.
• Multiple new mineralized zones were intercepted (see Figure 1 above and September 12, 2023, release).
• Results include identification and expansion of the N series of sulphide-rich mineralized structures parallel to high-grade nickel sulphide mineralization first discovered by the Company in drill holes CM2021-05 and CM2020-04.
• Drilling in 2023 intercepted the N2 and N3 mineralized zones in parallel to high-grade mineralization in CM2021-05, which is now known as N1. As reported May 3, 2022, N1 returned 13.2 meters grading 2.89% Recovered Nickel Equivalent¹ (“NiEq”) (2.31% Ni, 1.51 g/t 4E, 0.35% Cu, and 0.115% Co), starting at 37.6 meters and is contained within 400.8 meters of continuous battery and precious metal mineralization.
• N series structures and associated high-grade mineralization are now understood to be part of a series of north-south trending structures that crosscut the layered sequence and Platreef-style mineralization of the Stillwater Igneous Complex.
• Drilling also confirmed nickel and copper sulphide mineralization in a large and previously untested geophysical anomaly which forms part of a string of untested anomalies extending over 12 kilometers along strike.
• All core has now been submitted to the lab for assay with results expected over the coming weeks.
• Mineralized zones were predicted by the updated exploration model, demonstrating the Company’s success in advancing the first ever detailed geologic model of the lower Stillwater Igneous Complex.
• The 2023 drill campaign is the first campaign funded by the strategic investment made by Glencore PLC in June 2023, and the first to apply updated geological models which incorporate similar geology from South Africa’s Platreef district under the direction of Dr. Danie Grobler, who joined the team in May of 2022 as Vice-President of Exploration.
• Drilling for 2024 is now being planned to continue expansion around known mineralization at the existing resource areas, at recent discoveries including the N series structures, and also more broadly across the 32-kilometer-long project.

Michael Rowley, Stillwater President and CEO, stated, “We continue to advance new sulphide-rich discoveries at our flagship Stillwater West project as we apply geologic models from South Africa’s giant polymetallic nickel sulphide mines to similar geology at our Stillwater West project. Recent work is identifying additional styles of mineralization, and we look forward to expanding further on these exciting developments as they advance. Overall, the Stillwater district remains underexplored – and therefore wide open for significant expansion of known mineralization – despite having produced critical and strategic minerals such as nickel, copper, palladium, platinum and chrome for over a century. We look forward to reporting assay results and providing updated analysis as we work with our partners at Glencore PLC and the US Geological Survey to advance primary domestic supply of nine of the commodities identified as critical by the US Government. Additional news is expected from our Kluane and Drayton-Black Lake projects, carbon sequestration studies, and other initiatives including continued work on government funding channels.”

Dr. Danie Grobler, Stillwater Vice-President of Exploration, said “Drilling in 2023 focused on intersecting several of the north-south trending high-grade and high-tenor nickel sulphide mineralized N-structures recognized during the 2022 field season. A 100% target intercept rate was achieved due to predictability and good correlation of the N-structure orientations within the 3D structural model developed by the team including results from a 2023 ground magnetic survey across Chrome Mountain. The first two holes intersected both of the sulphide-rich N1 and N2 structures at shallow depth. Drillhole CM2023-03 intersected an approximately 20-meter-thick zone of nickel sulphide mineralization at a depth of 223 meters from surface. All three of these holes also intersected a PGE+Ni+Cu mineralized pegmatoidal pyroxenite layer at its predicted position within the geological model. Drillhole CM2023-04 intersected disseminated, net-textured to semi-massive nickel sulphide mineralization from approximately 100 to 180 meters depth. In addition to the above, drillholes CM2023-05 and CM2023-06 both intersected zones of net-textured to semi-massive nickel and copper sulphide mineralization associated with a previously untested large shallow electromagnetic anomaly at Chrome Mountain. This anomaly forms part of a string of untested anomalies found near the footwall contact zone which runs more than 12 kilometers along strike from west of Chrome Mountain to Iron Mountain in the east. Visual inspection of the 2023 core shows many similarities to Stillwater’s CZ deposit, located approximately five kilometers to the east, which contains the highest nickel grades in the 2023 declared resource. This exciting discovery is expected to form a priority target for the upcoming 2024 campaign.”

Upcoming Events – Clean Energy and Precious Metals Virtual Investor Conference and AMEBC Core Shack

Stillwater Critical Minerals President & CEO, Michael Rowley, will present live on December 5^th at 10am ET | 1pm PT with a Q&A to follow. Mr. Rowley is also available for one-on-one meetings following the event. For more information and to register click here.

The Company looks forward to displaying core from the 2023 drill season at the upcoming AMEBC Mineral Roundup event held in Vancouver, BC from January 22 to 25, 2024. For more information click here.

Government Funding

The Company continues to work with Cornell University under a Department of Energy grant, as announced February 14, 2023, and separately with the US Geological Survey on other programs at Stillwater West. In addition, the Company is actively pursuing other US government initiatives relating to developing domestic supply of critical minerals and will make further announcements as information becomes available.

Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu Project Update

Geological mapping, drone LiDAR and imagery acquisition, claim staking, and prospecting and rock sampling programs were completed in 2023 at the Company’s 100%-owned Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu project in Yukon, Canada, with field work funded in part by a Yukon Mineral Exploration Program grant. Follow-up work including completion of detailed geologic maps over priority areas and the advancement targets for later campaigns is on-going.

The Company has also begun to formally examine potential opportunities for carbon capture at the Kluane project with an initial focus on developing a procedure to identify and map rocks for their potential to sequester carbon based on existing data sources, remote sensing and imagery.

The Kluane project consists of a large 260 km² land position containing the Spy, Ultra and Catalyst properties, all of which occur within the Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Belt; a system of PGE-Ni-Cu deposits which are part of a sequence of mafic-ultramafic rocks that extends through the Yukon from northern British Columbia to central Alaska. Located near the Alaska Highway, the Kluane project properties are on trend with the Wellgreen Ni-Cu-PGE deposit.

Drayton – Black Lake

Heritage Mining (“Heritage”, CSE: HML) continues to meet the requirements of the earn-in agreement announced November 29, 2021, by the completion of exploration work on the Company’s district-scale Drayton-Black Lake gold project in Ontario, and the issuance of shares and cash to the Company. Results are pending from Heritage’s recent drill campaigns, and follow-up exploration programs are now being planned for 2024.

The Drayton-Black Lake Project site is located in northwestern Ontario in the Abrams‐Minnitaki Lake Archean greenstone belt approximately 25 kilometers east of the town of Sioux Lookout, Ontario. Access and infrastructure are excellent, featuring direct road access, and proximity to rail and power. Heritage Mining compiled the significant project database as part of advancing the substantial exploration potential of the project including demonstrated high-grade gold in drill results and bulk samples across more than 30 kilometers of underexplored strike in a geologic setting that is shared with Treasury Metals’ adjacent development-stage Goliath Gold Complex project. Work since the 1990s has proven more than 14 million ounces of gold in the broader district in this emerging and highly active gold belt lead by New Gold’s Rainy River mine and other deposits, and Heritage is effectively applying geological models and exploration methods that have been successful elsewhere in the district.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2023 / Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF) (the “Company” or “Stillwater”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling now underway at the Company’s flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana. The Company is further pleased to provide updates on exploration programs underway now at the Company’s Canadian projects including the Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu project in Yukon, and drilling at the Drayton – Black Lake gold project in Ontario via Heritage Mining, as part of their earn-in deal.

Figure 1 – Drill rig at Chrome Mountain, west of the DR-Hybrid deposits. Drilling to date has focused on this area with a view to expanding on recent high-grade nickel sulphide intercepts with significant copper, cobalt, palladium, platinum, gold and rhodium co-product grades.

Figure 2 – Significant sulphide mineralization in hole CM2023-04 around 369 feet (112.5 meters) depth.

Highlights

• Drilling focused on expansion of the NI 43-101-compliant resources announced January 25, 2023 (the “2023 Resource”) is underway now, funded by the strategic investment by Glencore PLC announced June 30, 2023.
• Crews have begun the sixth hole and completed more than 1,800 meters drilling to date.
• All holes in the 2023 campaign to date are west and south of the DR-Hybrid deposit at Chrome Mountain, which forms the western edge of the five deposits that span nine kilometers to comprise the 2023 Resource.
• Multiple intervals showing visible sulphide mineralization have been returned to date. Drilling has focused in the area of recent high-grade discoveries made by the Company such as drill hole CM2021-05, which returned 13.2 meters grading 2.89% Recovered Nickel Equivalent¹ (“NiEq”) (2.31% Ni, 1.51 g/t 4E, 0.35% Cu, and 0.115% Co), starting at 37.6 meters and contained within 400.8 meters of continuous battery and precious metal mineralization (see news release May 3, 2022).
• The 2023 campaign is the first to apply updated geological models which incorporate similar geology from South Africa’s Platreef district under the direction of Dr. Danie Grobler, who joined the team in May of 2022 as Vice-President Exploration.
• The Company is applying geologic models from the Platreef district based on well-documented parallels between the Stillwater Igneous Complex and the Bushveld Igneous Complex, which hosts very large Ni-Cu-PGE mines that are now in operation by Ivanhoe Mines and Anglo American.

Michael Rowley, Stillwater President and CEO, stated, “We are very pleased to have programs underway on all three of our 100%-owned district-scale assets, with particular focus on expansion of resources defined at our flagship Stillwater West project. The Stillwater West project is in a sweet spot as a district-scale asset that is underexplored yet also located in an expanding US mining jurisdiction with a long history of critical mineral supply and government support. Drilling is on-going on the western edge of the resource area and our partners including Glencore and the US Geological Survey are engaged and on-site. In Canada we are conducting a smaller but essential program to advance our Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu project, and Heritage Mining is actively drilling our Drayton-Black Lake high-grade gold project adjacent to Treasury Metals in Northwest Ontario. Heritage Mining is making good progress on their previously announced earn-in, and we are pleased with the excellent exposure that provides us to the gold market and with the value they are adding to the project. We look forward to further updates as results become available.”

Dr. Danie Grobler, Stillwater Vice-President of Exploration, said “We have successfully intercepted multiple targeted mineralized zones that were predicted in our updated exploration model and are very pleased with what we see in the core at Stillwater West. The current drill campaign is the first to incorporate detailed structural and stratigraphic models from very similar mineralization in South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Stillwater Igneous Complex.”

Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu Project Update

Exploration work is now underway at the Company’s 100%-owned Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu project in Yukon, Canada, funded in part by a Yukon Mineral Exploration Program grant. Geological mapping, drone LiDAR and imagery acquisition, and prospecting and rock sampling programs are being completed with the objective of advancing targets for follow-up campaigns and completing detailed geologic maps over priority areas.

Work in 2023 will also begin to formally examine the potential for carbon capture at the Kluane project with an initial focus on developing a procedure to identify and map rocks for their potential to sequester carbon based on existing data sources, remote sensing and imagery.

The Kluane project consists of a large 255 km² land position containing the Spy, Ultra and Catalyst properties, all of which occur within the Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Belt; a system of PGE-Ni-Cu deposits which are part of a sequence of mafic-ultramafic rocks that extends through the Yukon from northern British Columbia to central Alaska. Located near the Alaska Highway, the Kluane project properties are on trend with the Wellgreen Ni-Cu-PGE deposit.

Drayton – Black Lake

Drilling is now underway at Stillwater’s Drayton-Black Lake project by Heritage Mining (CSE: HML) under an earn-in agreement announced November 30, 2022, by which Heritage can earn a 90% interest in the project by completing work commitments and making payments of cash and shares to the Company.

As announced by Heritage Mining on September 5, 2023, drilling has been completed at the Alcona target area and is now mobilizing to the New Millennium target area as part of a 3,600-meter Phase One diamond drill program over three priority target areas that also includes the historically high-grade Moretti target. New Millennium is a new target area, recently modeled for the first time, that has never been drilled previously but has returned very high-grade gold in grab samples. Exploration to date has confirmed mineralization along the central vein system and highlighted areas of higher grade, guiding the proposed drill plan at New Millennium.

The Drayton-Black Lake Project site is located in northwestern Ontario in the Abrams‐Minnitaki Lake Archean greenstone belt approximately 25km East of the town of Sioux Lookout, Ontario. Access and infrastructure are excellent, featuring direct road access, and proximity to rail and power. Heritage Mining compiled the significant project database as part of advancing the substantial exploration potential of the project including demonstrated high-grade gold in drill results and bulk samples across more than 30 kilometers of underexplored strike in a geologic setting that is shared with Treasury Metals’ adjacent development-stage Goliath Gold Complex project. Work since the 1990s has proven more than 14 million ounces of gold in the broader district in this emerging and highly active gold belt lead by New Gold’s Rainy River mine and other deposits, and Heritage is effectively applying geological models and exploration methods that have been successful elsewhere in the district.

Corporate Update

The Company announces that Susan Henderson has been appointed to the role of Corporate Secretary, effective immediately. Ms. Henderson has worked in expanding roles with Stillwater since 2016, most recently in the role of Business Manager. Ms. Henderson replaces Alicia Milne who has stepped down. Ms. Milne will continue as a consultant to the Company.

Michael Rowley, President and CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals, stated, “Susan Henderson has been an essential part of our team in expanding roles since 2016 including most recently Business Manager, and we are pleased to expand that role further to include Corporate Secretary. We are very grateful to Alicia Milne for her excellent work as Corporate Secretary and her commitment to ongoing consulting work, and we wish her the very best with her new venture.”
