[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2024) - Geologica Resource Corp. (CSE: GRCM) (FSE: 862) (\"Geologica\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the strategic acquisition of the \"Titan\" property (\"Titan\") in the Atlin mining district of British Columbia. These claims are adjacent to the Llewellyn Fault Zone (LFZ), a major crustal-scale structure extending over 150 kilometers and known to host several gold, silver, and base metal showings, including the past-producing Engineer and Mount Skukum gold mines. Exploration at Titan is primarily focused on polymetallic vein systems potentially associated with splays off the highly prospective Llewellyn Fault Zone. Table 1 displays select grab samples taken in 2018 from the Buchans Creek showing in the north-central part of the property. Table 1. Select 2018 Grab Samples from Buchans Creek Showing The Buchans Creek showing is a high-grade polymetallic vein measuring 1-1.5 meters wide. This vein has been observed at three distinct locations along the surface and has been traced for 10-20 meters at each exposure. The vein is enriched in gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, antimony, and tellurium. 2018 sampling results returned up to 11.4 g/t Au, 0.81% Cu, >100 g/t Ag, >0.2% Sb, and >0.1% Te. Airborne magnetic and EM surveys have traced an anomalies extending from the Buchans Creek showing for 2 kilometers south-southeast, overlapping with the historical Rupert I showing, which contains historical grab samples grading up to 4.1 g/t Au, 237.6 g/t Ag, 11.8% Pb, and 0.60% Zn. Critical Mineral Significance While historical exploration at Titan primarily focused on precious and base metals, recent sampling has identified elevated levels of antimony and tellurium. These elements are classified as critical minerals by the Canadian and U.S. governments due to their essential uses and supply constraints. Antimony, a strategic critical mineral, is primarily produced in China and Russia, accounting for 70% of global production. With no antimony production in North America, the development of domestic supplies is critical. Analysts predict that global demand \"cannot be met from current supplies\" in the coming years. Antimony is crucial for military applications, digital circuitry, and next-generation liquid metal batteries, which are key to scalable energy storage...
