Military Metals Corp. has successfully reinstated and extended its exploration license for the Trojárová Antimony-Gold Project in Slovakia for an additional four years, expiring on October 18, 2030. This decision follows a legal battle against the cancellation of the license by the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic earlier this year. The company had appealed the cancellation and, on October 2, 2026, received a favourable ruling that reinstated the license, allowing them to continue exploration activities.
The Trojárová Project is significant, hosting an inferred mineral resource of 6.5 million tonnes grading 1.02% antimony and 1.06 g/t gold, which translates to approximately 67,000 tonnes of antimony and 222,000 ounces of gold. This resource is crucial for addressing Europe’s supply chain vulnerabilities, as the continent heavily relies on external sources for antimony, a critical raw material.
Military Metals is committed to responsible development in Slovakia, with plans to enhance community engagement and scientific cooperation. The company aims to establish a local advisory board to facilitate dialogue with stakeholders and ensure environmental priorities are addressed throughout the development process. Executive Chairman Thomas Hüser emphasised the importance of building trust through open communication and practical action, while CEO Scott Eldridge highlighted the milestone this reinstatement represents for the company.
The company has initiated discussions with Slovakia’s Ministry of Economy regarding the transition from exploration to full mining and production authorisation, focusing on the necessary technical, environmental, and administrative requirements. Additionally, Military Metals plans to improve local wastewater management and adopt modern mining technologies that prioritise environmental sustainability.
Military Metals aims to position the Trojárová Project as a model for responsible mineral exploration in Europe, aligning with the objectives of the European Critical Raw Materials Act. The company’s commitment to responsible practices and local partnerships underscores its ambition to unlock the potential of this significant antimony resource for European and allied markets.
