Horse Heaven Project Overview
The Horse Heaven Project consists of 699 unpatented federal mining claims with 100% ownership of mineral rights over 5,817 hectares in Valley County, Idaho. The property is located 212 km northeast of Boise, Idaho and shares its eastern boundary with Perpetua Resource's Stibnite Gold Project. The project has had historical production of Antimony and Tungsten, both listed as Critical Minerals in the United States.
Stallion believes the property is underexplored and that along with the two historical zones of production Golden Gate Fault Zond and Antimony Ridge, there are several other targets that merit further exploration. The Project has year-round road access, close proximity to electrical transmission lines, available access to water rights and a state maintained 1,000m airstrip adjacent to the property.
The option agreement allows for Stallion to retain significant upside exposure to the Horse Heaven project while requiring no near term capital investment. Stallion believes the advancement of the district with the adjacent Stibnite Project, one of the only near term sources of Antimony in the US, along with a high-grade gold mines. The successful permitting of the Stibnite project would create significant value for the area.

Horse Heaven is an Expansive Land Package - Over 21sq miles
- Multiple Target Zones- Golden Gate Fault, Antimony Ridge Fault , Salt Creek Fault
- Historical RC drilling in 1986, 1987 & 1994 exploring for shallow heap leach oxide gold along limited areas of the mineralized structures.
Historical reported gold intercepts* GGR-31 36.6m 1.51 g/t Au GGR-32 71.6m 1.37 g/t Au GGR-33 54.9m 1.03 g/t Au - Two independent geophysical surveys show the buried intrusion, indicating further evidence of IRGS Model
- Gold mineralization occurs in similar orientated structures, host rocks, with similar magnitude of anomalies and size of geochemical and geophysical signatures as found at Perpetua Resources
Critical Minerals - Antimony
As of May 2018 the Department of the Interior designated Antimony critical to the Economic and National Security of the United States. Currently the US relies entirely on imports as it does not have any production.
Exploration for Antimony deposits is being pursued as historical records show Antimony has been produced and shipped from the properties Antimony Ridge
