Stillwater (PGE) is reporting elevated rhodium assays from its Stillwater West Project in Montana.

The results stem from its 14-hole resource expansion drilling program on the 100-per-cent owned platinum group element, nickel, copper, cobalt and gold property.

Assays demonstrate impressive grade and scale, with wide intervals at successively higher grades contained within very wide bulk-tonnage grade intervals.

The encompassing Stillwater Complex is recognized as one of the top regions in the world for PGE-Ni-Cu-Co mineralization. Sibanye-Stillwater, adjacent to Stillwater West, is the U.S.’s primary producer.

The company has delineated five deposits of Platreef-style mineralization across a core 12 km span, all of which are open for expansion into adjacent targets. It is also advancing multiple earlier-stage Platreef-style and reef-type targets based on strong correlations in soil and rock geochemistry, geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, and drilling.

The results will allow for an update to the inaugural October 2021 resource estimate of 1.1 billion pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 2.4 million ounces of palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold.

Rhodium is essential for catalytic converters, fuel cells and green hydrogen. Its spot price sits at more than US$12,000 per ounce, positioning the company to increase shareholder value as a potential U.S. supplier of the critical mineral.

President and CEO Michael Rowley joined Sabrina Cuthbert to add context to the results.

Stillwater Critical Minerals is a mineral exploration company focused on its flagship Stillwater West PGE-Ni-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana’s Stillwater mining district.

Stillwater Critical Metals Corp. (PGE) is up by 2.27 per cent, trading at $0.225 per share as of 12 pm EST.
