On March 25, 2026, Armory Mining (CSE: ARMY, OTC: RMRYF, FRA: 2JS) announced it has taken possession of historic geophysical records for the Riley Creek antimony-gold property. The company, which targets minerals used in energy, security and defense applications, said it will immediately begin digitizing and reviewing the archive with contemporary processing tools. Management indicated an initial review will start straight away, with previously announced field activity planned to follow within the next 90 days, while the CEO has also spoken of analysis work expected to commence within 60 days.

The vintage airborne survey and its legacy
Data originate from a comprehensive 1995 airborne program flown with the Dighem system, combining magnetometer, electromagnetic and radiometric measurements. The original survey used a multicoil, multifrequency Dighem configuration together with a high-sensitivity cesium magnetometer, a 256-channel spectrometer and a four-channel very-low-frequency (VLF) receiver. Coverage extended roughly 575-line kilometres on east–west flight lines spaced at 100-metre intervals. A 1997 interpretation of those records flagged 11 areas of interest, highlighting fault corridors, possible intrusive contacts, radiometric highs and conductive electromagnetic responses that the earlier team recommended for ground follow-up.
Why Armory plans a modern reinterpretation
Armory intends to convert the analogue and legacy digital records into contemporary formats and reprocess the complete dataset with up-to-date algorithms. Advances in geophysical software now allow stronger noise reduction with enhanced filtering, integrated inversion and three-dimensional modelling that can merge datasets to better resolve subsurface geometry. By applying these techniques to a high-quality historic survey, the company expects to refine structural interpretations, detect targets that were previously ambiguous, and rank prospects for follow-up ground work and eventual drilling. The objective is to generate a prioritized drill list that focuses on structures controlling antimony mineralization.
Project setting and geological context
The Riley Creek property lies on Graham Island in the Queen Charlotte Islands at coordinates 53°23’N, 132°25’W. Access is available year-round via logging roads from the village of Port Clements to the north and Daajin Giids (formerly Queen Charlotte City) to the southeast. Regionally, the property sits among Jurassic Yakoun Formation sedimentary units, Tertiary Masset Formation volcanic flows and pyroclastics, and intrusive bodies related to the Tertiary Kano suite. This combination of stratigraphy, volcanics and plutonics creates the structural complexity that the historic survey originally highlighted as prospective for antimony and gold.
Historical data treated as legacy information
The company notes that the reports and maps received from the optionor were reviewed by a qualified geoscientist but remain historic in nature until validated by Armory’s teams. The technical content in the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Babak V. Azar, P.Geo., who is the qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 standards. Mr. Azar reviewed the legacy files but the company has cautioned that the information will require modern verification in the field and through new analytical workflows.
Corporate holdings, next steps and disclaimers
Armory Mining also controls an 80% interest in the Candela II lithium brine project within the Incahuasi Salar in Salta Province, Argentina, and holds 100% of both the Ammo antimony-gold project in Nova Scotia and the Riley Creek project in British Columbia. Contact for the release is CEO Alex Klenman ([email protected]; 604-970-4330). The company reminded readers that its securities are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that regulatory bodies such as the Canadian Securities Exchange do not accept responsibility for the adequacy of the release. As with most exploration-stage announcements, the text contains forward-looking statements about planned activities, and readers are cautioned that actual outcomes depend on financing, regulatory approvals, field results and other risks.
What to watch
Expect Armory’s immediate tasks to include the full digitization of the 1995 records, application of modern filtering and inversion, and integration with any available geologic maps and field observations. If reinterpretation highlights strong, reproducible anomalies, the logical progression will be targeted ground evaluations and a phased exploration program leading to drill planning. Investors and stakeholders should monitor subsequent updates for release of interpreted models, prioritized targets and timing for on-the-ground work as the company advances the Riley Creek program.
