Why XTPT is a monster in the making.
1. Antimony is crucial to ammunitions production.
The mineral is known to be extremely sought after during times of global conflict.
2. China is tightening their grip on the market for rare earths and other mined materials it find itself as one of, if not the, sold exporter of.
If China finds itself to be on the other side of, or asympathetic to, an armed conflict with US, we will find ourselves in an emergency dearth of Antimony.
3. There are no viable alternatives for investing in Antimony mining on US exchanges.
PPTA, who supplied a portion of the US war effort during WW1 and WW2 (The rest from China) has found its mines victim to aggressive environmental lobbying. This was due to the historical mining activity having deposited (and is still depositing) a large amount of toxicity into the surrounding water bodies, affecting the fish population. It is likely that PPTA will never produce again because of this. Despite this likely-hood, PPTA has achieved a high of over 1 billion market-cap, and has been awarded research grants by US Department of Defense to aide in securing the US supply of Antimony.
4. XTPT's resource is in Nevada, the state with the current biggest and most permitting mining economy in the country, clear from natural waterbodies that can be polluted.
This puts this project at high candidacy for acquisition by a PPTA (Who already has contracts reserving their Antimony output) or another well capitalized company looking to enter this space.
5. XTPT has the benefit of Mike Irish's (SDRC-owned) proprietary zero-liquid waste refining technology.
The two companies have signed a non-disclosure, non-compete agreement in order to collaborate on a proposed processing plant at XTPT's location in Nevada. This further solidifies the competitive advantage XTPT has for the environmental viability of their operation.
6. The scope of XTPT and the Bernice Mining District is relatively large
XTPT's claims span 11 miles, with many yet to be staked. So far the tunnels documented already show stibnite (the compound containing 40% Antimony,) and native Antimony still visible. Historical data and photographs indicate multiple large operations were in place to extract and process this mineral. The video documentation made by Steve Cyros of Red Beryl Mining Company show just how large this series of operations were, complete with multi-level mines, and left behind processing equipment. It is likely that the true scope of these operations were kept secret, especially when you consider the Arrance "Prospect" to be a multi-level mine showing extensive workings and signs of large amounts of mineral extraction. See the historical docs in ?bernice-history and watch the videos on XTPT's Youtube Channel.
7. Mac Shasavar is CEO
Using BRGC as a guide, you can extrapolate, for one, that the share-structure will remain clean, perhaps even improve. The project, once rolling, will continue to be insider funded and non-dilutive, and these claims will be developed expediently and methodically. You can tell we are very early. Any success of BRGC will be sure to translate to a tailwind for this stock. XTPT also has the benefit of Mac's son Aarya Shahsavar, who's work on mobile water management solutions (and his company Innocorps) further depicts the solid environmental footing of XTPT's future operations.
