About this update from Xtra Energy Corp.
[{"type":"text","content":"AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2023 / Xtra Energy Corp. (OTC PINK:XTPT )is pleased to announce the details of a fourth group of historical antimony mines claimed by Xtra Energy Corp. In October, Xtra Energy completed the required filing and recording of a 495-acre, 24-lode claim expansion (10/12/2022 Company News) with the intent of targeting more historically documented antimony deposits. The continued mapping program of this expansion proves to be successful with the confirmed ownership of four additional historically documented antimony mines on this 495-acre expansion. The "Blue Bird Group" is located at the SW corner of our American Antimony #50 lode claim; the "Blue Jacket" is located on the SE border of our American Antimony #50 and #55 lode claims; the "Far South Marguerite Prospect" is located at the NW corner of our American Antimony #59 lode claim; and lastly, the "Blue Eagle Group" is located in the north central part of our American Antimony #63 lode claim.

Cooley, and associates, who, up to April 1939, had made one small shipment of silver and antimony ore to the McGill smelter. The Blue Jacket is a second silver and antimony deposit located directly parallel and within close distance of the Blue Bird Group. This leaves our team optimistic about the possibility of an extensive antimony and silver deposit spanning the length of our American Antimony #50 lode claim.The Far South Marguerite Prospect as described in"Antimony Deposits of Nevada"; nbmg bull. 61 "is on the east side of a southeast-trending gulch, which takes off from Bernice Canyon 3.8 miles from its mouth, and only a short distance above its floor. The prospect is developed by a trench and two adits, now caved. The 28-foot trench explores a sill, striking N. 50° W. and dipping 85° NE., in brown shale and red...
