(OTCID: XTPT), today announced the initiation of the Small Mine Permit process for its Antimony King Mine within the Company's American Antimony Project in Bernice Canyon, Nevada.\r\nThe permitting process is being advanced in collaboration with Westland Resources, the same firm that successfully permitted the Company's Phase 1 drilling campaign, providing continuity and permitting expertise as the project progresses from exploration toward early-stage mining activities.\r\nIn parallel with ongoing metallurgical and development work at Antimony King, the Company has initiated permitting activities to support the next stage of responsible project advancement. Westland Resources, which successfully permitted the Company's Phase 1 drilling campaign, has commenced work on the Small Mine Permit application. This permit is designed to support a limited, approximately five-acre operational footprint and represents an important step in advancing near-term, small-scale production activities while maintaining a disciplined, staged approach toward building a secure, domestic antimony supply. As the permitting process progresses, American Antimony expects to provide periodic updates as regulatory milestones are achieved and the application advances through the review process.\r\nSmall Mine Permit Overview\r\nIn Nevada, a Small Mine Permit authorizes limited mining and material handling activities within a disturbance footprint of up to five (5) acres. This permitting pathway is specifically designed to allow early-stage mining operations, bulk material handling, and stockpile management to proceed under defined environmental controls, reclamation bonding, and regulatory oversight.\r\nThe Small Mine Permit represents a critical transition point between exploration-stage activities and larger-scale development, enabling companies to responsibly evaluate and advance mineral assets while maintaining a limited surface impact.\r\n\r...
