(TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) (\"Honey Badger\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to share that the company has newly recognized important critical minerals potential at its 100%-owned Plata project in the Yukon, including widespread high-grade antimony as well as copper and tungsten mineralization.The Company's Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, \"During the ongoing data review following the company's recent fieldwork at Plata, we have recognized extensive high-grade antimony, copper, and tungsten mineralization within and around the Ajo Zone. The presence of these critical minerals, historically untested, compliments the known silver, gold, lead, and zinc mineralization, and underscores the outstanding mineral endowment at Plata, which continues to positively surprise us. I have said many times, and continue to believe, that because of its multiple types and locations of mineralization spread over vast distances, Plata is the property with the best exploration potential that I have seen in my 40-year career. We are excited to advance the Plata project this year as we prepare for Plata's first drill program in nearly 15 years.\" Newly Recognized Critical Minerals at PlataTo date, the majority of known silver, gold, and base metal mineralization at Plata has been largely concentrated at the Ajo Zone, which represents a fairly consistent ~northwest-southeast trending tabular body (~1-6m wide) of high-grade silver-, gold-, lead-, and zinc-bearing quartz veining that is structurally hosted along the Plata Thrust Fault for approximately 1 km of currently known strike length. Other important silver mineralization near Ajo includes the Cebolla and Oliva Targets, historically referred to as the P2 and P6 targets, to the west and northwest, respectively. These target areas are understood to be controlled by late ~north-south trending structures and comprise wide (~5-20m) zones of massive sulfide mineralization containing high-grade silver, zinc, lead, and low-grade gold mineralization (Fig. 1). Although the focus at Plata will remain centered on expanding the silver and gold potential, recognizing the presence a...
