Recent news on antimony from a mining company that’s currently developing some of its sites (I shortened some of the content):
> President Trump’s tariff orders, issued under emergency authority to counter what the White House describes as "large and persistent" trade deficits, introduces broad-based import duties with significantly higher country-specific rates. However, Section 3(b) of the order clarifies that certain critical minerals to include antimony are too essential to be imposed a tariff. This exemption status highlights the critical nature of antimony given its importance to multiple applications including renewable energy and the defense sector.
> Despite significant domestic demand, the U.S. currently produces no antimony, relying entirely on imports, primarily from China, Russia, Tajikistan, and other foreign sources. The continued exemption of antimony from U.S. tariffs underpins the urgency of securing stable, non-Chinese supply. And it affirms the development of critical mineral assets in trusted jurisdictions and to build robust, transparent and secure domestic supply chains for metalloids like antimony.
