Krakatoa Resources Targets Maiden JORC Resource at Zopkhito Antimony-Gold

Krakatoa Resources (ASX:KTA) kicked off its second field season at the Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia. The program targets a maiden JORC-compliant resource estimate from a foreign resource that already grades 11.6% stibnite and 3.7 g/t gold.

The existing foreign estimate holds 225,000 tonnes at 11.6% stibnite for 26,000 tonnes of antimony, plus 7.1 million tonnes at 3.7 g/t gold for 815,119 ounces. Translating that into JORC would give the market a benchmark it can trust, which is the point of this season.

CEO Mark Major called the start “exciting” and said the 2025 drilling “validated the high-grade nature of the antimony and gold mineralisation, as well as the extension potential.” He added that with antimony emerging as a strategically critical mineral, Zopkhito “has the potential to become a rare and significant European source of antimony.”

The 2025 program confirmed high-grade mineralisation within historical adits and identified an extended gold alteration system alongside quartz-antimony veins. Combined with 27 kilometres of underground exploration adits and over 15,000 historic samples, the company has a dense data set to guide this season’s targeting.
