Omnia Metals Identifies Strong REE and Niobium Signals at Radix with Antimony Anomalies at Stibnite Ridge

Radix Project Reveals Promising Niobium and Rare Earth Element Anomalies

Omnia Metals Group Ltd (ASX:OM1) has reported maiden geochemical assay results from its Radix Rare Earth Elements (REE) and Gallium Project in Ravalli County, Montana, marking its first on-ground exploration at the site. The reconnaissance program, which ran from late May to early June 2026, analysed 81 samples comprising 45 drainage sediments and 36 rock chips across the company’s 80-claim landholding.

The standout highlight was a rock sample (R017) returning an eye-catching 209 ppm niobium (Nb), a discrete anomaly that Omnia intends to verify with follow-up sampling and geological mapping. Sediment samples also delivered encouraging rare earth element results, with up to 560 ppm total rare earth elements plus yttrium (TREE+Y), alongside coherent spatial variation in neodymium plus praseodymium (Nd+Pr) and heavy rare earth elements plus yttrium (HREE+Y) across multiple catchments. These findings lend support to the REE-Nb carbonatite targeting model developed in Omnia’s Phase 1 study and align with the nearby Sheep Creek REE project located just three miles east by road.

Stibnite Ridge Antimony Program Highlights Tenure Challenges

Meanwhile, first-pass geochemical sampling at the Stibnite Ridge Antimony Project in Sanders County, Montana, covered 17 samples within Omnia’s current 28-claim tenure. The program detected antimony concentrations ranging from 2.05 to 16.0 ppm, arsenic from 6.28 to 40.6 ppm, and silver from 0.018 to 0.082 ppm. The highest antimony and arsenic values were coincident in sample PN0001175801, while silver peaked in PN0001175819.

However, a tenure review revealed overlapping third-party claims that reduced Omnia’s initial 70-claim proposal to a more modest 28 claims. After a site visit and assessment of the reconnaissance data, the company chose not to contest the competing claims, opting instead to concentrate on the retained, more prospective ground.

Reconnaissance Data Sets the Stage for Targeted Follow-Up

Omnia’s Executive Director Patrick Glovac emphasised the importance of these maiden field programs in translating desktop targeting work into tangible geochemical data. At Radix, the niobium anomaly and coherent rare earth element responses provide a clear hierarchy of catchments and rock occurrences for more detailed follow-up involving tighter-spaced sampling, mapping, and mineralogical characterisation. At Stibnite Ridge, the company’s decision to focus on the reduced tenure reflects a pragmatic approach to advancing the most promising ground.

Both projects’ results are reconnaissance in nature and do not demonstrate economic mineralisation or continuity. Sampling was selective, and no drilling was undertaken. Omnia plans to integrate assay data with field observations, radiometric and magnetic surveys, and regional geology to prioritise targets. Future work at Radix may include upstream sediment sampling, detailed mapping, petrographic studies, and potentially ground geophysics before any drilling decisions.

At Stibnite Ridge, further assessment of the retained claims will determine if additional low-cost geological work is warranted, with no commitment yet to follow-up exploration or claim renewal.

Technical Rigor and Next Steps

All samples were analysed by ALS in Twin Falls, Idaho, using lithium-borate fusion ICP-MS for Radix and aqua regia digestion ICP-MS for Stibnite Ridge. While no company-inserted QA/QC samples were included in this initial program, ALS’s internal quality controls were applied. Omnia plans to incorporate certified standards, blanks, and field duplicates in subsequent programs to enhance data integrity.

These results build on Omnia’s strategic positioning in critical minerals exploration in Montana, complementing earlier acquisitions and staking activities. The company’s focus on high-demand commodities such as rare earth elements, niobium, and antimony aligns with global energy transition imperatives.
