Trigg's new find at Antimony Canyon hints at larger system than anticipated
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. Special Report: Trigg Minerals has stumbled across new mineralisation beneath the Flagstaff Formation at the Antimony Canyon asset in Utah, indicating the potential for a larger system than originally anticipated. Trigg has reeled in channel sample grades of up to 33.2% antimony during maiden exploration The company has found new mineralisation beneath the Flagstaff Formation, supporting the recently announced exploration target Further geological mapping and geophysical surveys are planned A recent rock chip sampling program has returned grades of up to 33.2%, confirming widespread antimony across the Antimony Canyon project area and supporting the 12.8 to 15.6Mt exploration target at 0.75% to 1.5% antimony. Trigg (ASX:TMG) says the results confirm the presence of high-grade mineralisation in multiple regions, including both historically mined areas and newly identified targets. The explorer also identified an area of antimony mineralisation beneath the Flagstaff Formation where stibnite-cored concretions occur within tuffaceous sandstone below a gypsum horizon. TMG says this setting suggests the system extends vertically, opening an entirely new target domain for exploration. The range of mineralisation styles from massive sulphide veins to disseminated stibnite in breccias and tuffs underscores the scale and complexity of the Antimony Canyon system. And the combination of high-grades, broad mineralised footprints and stacked geological horizons is consistent with a long-lived hydrothermal system capable of supporting multiple high-grade zones over a significant vertical extent. Exciting, emerging antimony play TMG managing director Andre Booyzen said the results indicate that Antimony Canyon may be one of the most exciting emerging antimony exploration projects in the US. 'The range of values, with multiple samples exceeding 10% antimony and a peak result of over 33% is highly encouraging and points to a robust mineralising system,' he said. 'The identification of mineralisation beneath the Flagstaff Formation opens an entirely new search space and reinforces our view that Antimony Canyon hosts a large, vertically extensive mineral system. 'The combination of high grades, geological continuity, and multiple mineralised zones provides a compelling platform for our next phase of exploration, which will include drilling.' Planned activities at the Antimony Canyon project include further geological mapping of priority targets and geophysical surveys to assist in identifying extensions of known mineralisation, and preparation of initial drill sites to test high-priority zones.

Tesla backflips on $30k battery repair after Musk steps in
Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Elon Musk has personally intervened after his company initially failed to assist a loyal Tesla customer in dealing with a costly recall fault. The drama began when X user Jessica Tetreau posted a tweet asking for a contact at Tesla management after her Tesla's battery seal failed. Jessica claimed that Tesla's warranty and insurance would not cover the issue, and Tesla Service indicated it was not their responsibility, despite her vehicle being under warranty at the time.

'My car has a recall on the battery seal and mine failed. Tesla Insurance won't cover it, and Tesla Service says it's not their problem either. 'They want $30k by the end of the week. I'm literally heartbroken and in tears. My car was $150k and this is an enormous stress for me.'

Three days after Musk's promised investigation, Jessica confirmed that the Tesla was returned to working order. The swift resolution after Musk's public reply has ignited fresh debate about Tesla's customer service and whether a high-profile intervention from the billionaire CEO should be the only means for customers to receive adequate assistance. It has become increasingly common for frustrated Tesla owners to post complaints on X in hopes that Musk will see them. Many believe it's the only way to solve major problems related to their Teslas.

This isn't the first time Tesla owners have expressed dissatisfaction with the company's customer service, and it's certainly not the first time Elon Musk has personally intervened to address Tesla matters.
