With President Donald Trump investing billions to lift the U.S.’s access to critical minerals and rare earths, the move is part of EV Resource’s evolving North American antimony supply chain strategy.
The explorer’s CEO, Mike Brown, said the partnership with MineMaker is designed to accelerate EVR’s primary objective of becoming a leading near-term supplier of antimony to the North American market.
“Their team’s deep relationships within the U.S. government and their technical understanding of the critical minerals landscape will be invaluable as we move our assets in Mexico and Nevada toward production,” Mr Brown said.
EVR is fast-tracking the Los Lirios project in Mexico towards production, with the development benefiting from the acquisition of the nearby Tecomatlán processing plant.
Earlier this month, EVR achieved a major technical milestone when it produced its first antimony ingots from mineralisation sourced at Los Lirios.
EV Resources also holds a 100% interest in the Dollar and Milton Canyon antimony projects in the US, key components in its strategy to support the creation of a domestic critical minerals supply chain there.
MineMaker will not only support engagement with U.S. federal and state agencies such as the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of War (DoW); it will also provide expertise on funding opportunities.
“We are focused on pursuing non-dilutive funding pathways and permitting timelines that allow us to scale rapidly while protecting shareholder equity,” Mr Brown said.
“Given the evolving geopolitical landscape and the urgent U.S. mandate to secure domestic supply, this is an ideal window to formalise our engagement with agencies such as the DOE and DoW to de-risk our permitting and development.”
The New York-headquartered MineMaker is led by Peter Finan, a dual-qualified lawyer with more than 20 years of experience advising on mining frameworks and landmark transactions. The MineMaker team also includes former senior counsel from the US Department of Energy and the DFC.
It has a proven history of success in the critical minerals sector, including partnering with the MEGA tungsten project in Nevada to secure U.S. government support and alignment with national policy priorities.
It also advised the Coyote Canyon antimony project in Utah on US critical minerals alignment and strategic development.
EVR is stable at 0.9c today.
