Xtra Energy said road construction has officially begun at its American Antimony Project in Nevada. This milestone follows the successful posting and formal acceptance of the company’s reclamation bond by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) — the final regulatory requirement prior to ground activity.
Construction crews are now fully mobilized on-site, and initial roadwork is progressing on schedule. Completion is expected within the next week, allowing Xtra Energy to immediately launch its phase 1 drill program and begin detailed sampling and assessment of more than 22 historic high-grade surface stockpiles.
“We’re now in motion. This development signals the beginning of a transformative phase for the company,” said Mac Shahsavar, P.Eng., chairman and CEO of Xtra Energy.
“Our team has positioned itself to execute quickly, and with roadwork nearing completion, we’re set to open access to both subsurface drill targets and surface stockpiles that could generate early revenue,” added Shahsavar.
The American Antimony Project is one of the only known U.S.-based projects with the potential to deliver domestic antimony production-a material vital for munitions, semiconductors, and grid-scale energy storage.
The company’s development efforts come at a time of renewed urgency for domestic defense supply chains. With the Pentagon now halting certain munitions exports due to low U.S. stockpiles, the need for a reliable domestic source of antimony has become more critical than ever.
Xtra Energy is on track to not only advance exploration but to play a key role in restoring American antimony production capacity for the first time in decades.
Xtra Energy is a U.S.-based mineral resource company dedicated to the exploration, development, and responsible stewardship of critical mineral assets. With a primary focus on antimony, Xtra Energy is advancing a growing portfolio of high-grade domestic projects aimed at reducing U.S. reliance on foreign supply chains. Through environmentally responsible practices and strategic project development, the company is positioning itself to become a leading supplier of antimony-based ore in North America.
