Trigg Minerals Ltd (ASX:TMG) has identified a parallel structure underneath its Wild Cattle Creek (WCC) antimony deposit in New South Wales, which holds this mineral at average grades of 13%, as well as tungsten grading 1.03%.

This subparallel vein lies approximately 35 metres below the main system associated with WCC, extending 100 metres across the most western sections of the deposit.

Open at depth and along strike, it has yielded assays of 2.14% tungsten and 27.6% antimony (Sb).

Crucially, an assessment of both this structure and the WCC alteration halo suggests both commodities grow stronger in grade as the mineralisation moves westerly, indicating a potential for a resource upgrade at WCC.

Trigg has emphasised that since tungsten has been of limited focus at the WCC, there is the potential for greater project value to be unlocked through future exploration. Tungsten has become a focal point recently since dominant supplier China announced it would be suspending exports of the mineral.

Antimony has been the primary focus, which was recently upgraded to 1.52 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.97% Sb, containing 29,902 tonnes of antimony comprising 0.96Mt at 2.02% Sb (Indicated) and 0.56Mt at 1.88% Sb (Inferred).

Executive chairman Tim Morrison said this information had unlocked suggestions for new mineralisation definition at the deposit.

“Confirming Wild Cattle Creek as a stacked system by identifying the subparallel, highgrade Sb-W vein beneath the main lode creates a substantial opportunity to expand themineral resource base,” he said.

“While the deposit has historically been valued for its high-grade antimony, the strong tungsten association—previously overlooked—now suggests untapped potential for a broader critical mineral play.”

Trigg last traded at 3.2 cents – a rise of 3.23% since the market opened.
