Hertz Energy Inc.\u00a0(CSE: HZ) (OTCQB: HZLIF) (FSE: QE2)\u00a0(\u2018Hertz\u2019 or the \u2018Company\u2019) is pleased to announce the start of exploration programs at the Harriman Antimony Property (\u2018Harriman Property\u2019 or the \u2018Property\u2019) comprised of 49 mineral claims (approximately 2,500 hectares) located in the Province of Qu\u00e9bec beginning the week on September 16, 2024.<\/p>\n

The Harriman Property is an exploration stage antimony project located approximately 17 km northeast of the town of New Richmond in the Gasp\u00e9 Region of Qu\u00e9bec (Figures 1, 2). The Gasp\u00e9 Region is known for a variety of significant mineral deposits, most notably the Mine Gasp\u00e9 Copper Mine, currently being developed by Osisko Metals. The Harriman Property benefits from good road access, hydroelectric power, port access, and nearby available manpower.<\/p>\n

The Harriman Property is strategically located at the intersection of the major ENE trending Restigouche Fault and Grand Pabos Fault with a second order northeast-trending fault hosting numerous antimony and gold showings (Figure 3). <\/p>\n

The Property was developed by compiling and reviewing historical antimony (Sb) and gold (Au) showings from the Qu\u00e9bec government geoscientific database known as SIG\u00c9OM. The Property area was defined by a series of four antimony showings, all hosted along a northeast-trending fault structure (Figure 4). Historical results from the nearby showings along the northeast-trending fault include 2.32% Sb, 3.36 g\/t Au (Harriman-2), 43.75 Sb, 3.4 g\/t Au (New Richmond), 4.8% Sb, 7.89 g\/t Au and 15.35% Sb (Harriman-4 Sud) (source: SIG\u00c9OM).<\/p>\n

The Harriman Property of Hertz includes the Harriman-4Sud showing returning 15.35% Sb and 0.07 g\/t Au from a historical grab sample of a massive stibnite vein in altered sediments. The nearby Harriman Gold occurrence, located 300 m to the northwest, returned an assay of 22.4 g\/t Au from a grab sample. These showings and much of the property have had limited previous exploration and has not had any historical drilling. <\/p>\n

Hertz Energy will be mobilizing a team of geologist and technicians this month to the Harriman Project to undertake geological mapping and prospecting. The crew will focus in the area of favourable geology, particularly surrounding the historical showings as well as prospect for new antimony and gold showings.<\/p>\n

About Antimony-In Short Supply<\/p>\n

In August, China announced antimony export restrictions which take effect on September 15, 2024 (source: Reuters, August 28, 2024) and are expected to have significant implications for the global antimony supply chain. China\u2019s announcement of antimony export restrictions has added fuel to a red-hot market and opens another potential flash-point with the West for control of critical minerals. Antimony is a little-known metal with multiple applications. Antimony\u2019s largest end-use is as a flame retardant, but it is also found in solar panels and batteries. The U.S. Department of the Interior has designated it a critical mineral because it is also essential for armour-piercing ammunition, infrared sensors, and precision optics.<\/p>\n

Antimony prices have nearly doubled since the start of the year to a record $22,750 per tonne in part because of shrinking exports from major producers and a global deficit of the metal. China\u2019s exports are in medium-term decline due to higher demand from its solar energy sector, while Russian supply has been crimped by falling output and Western sanctions. The flow from other big producing nations such as Vietnam, Tajikistan, and Myanmar has been disrupted by the re-routing of shipments from the Red Sea due to Houthi attacks on shipping.<\/p>\n

Analysts estimate the market was already looking at a 10,000-ton shortfall before China\u2019s export restrictions. These new controls are not targeted at any specific country but Chinese authorities can refuse licences to export to individual end-user companies or countries as they see fit.<\/p>\n

Kal Malhi, CEO of Hertz Energy commented, \u2018With the current conflicts around the world and the need for countries to stockpile their antimony reserves, there is a rush to develop antimony resources in North America. Hertz Energy\u2019s Harriman project is well located and high grade and Hertz is laser focused on deploying our capital and talented geological team to quickly develop the antimony potential at our Harriman Antimony project. Hertz Energy is well funded and currently has approximately $750,000 in flow thru capital to deploy on our mineral exploration projects and our team will be on the Harriman Project over the next weeks and we aim to identify drill targets and drill the property in the coming months in hopes to define an economic antimony deposit.\u2019<\/p>\n
