There is only a handful of mines producing
Antimony? Everywhere I read China's production
is going down and the demand for them and the
world to export Antimony is going up!

“A few years ago it was US$4,000 per tonne, then it went up to US$17,000 per tonne — and now it’s about US$10,000 per tonne,” he says.
What’s more, he says, demand is climbing for the metal because it has a new purpose in auto-industry plastics and wire coating. “For a long time antimony was moribund because it was only used to harden lead,” he says, “but what’s happened in recent years is that its big use is as a flame retardant.”

“It’s the wonder metal,” he says, noting that grades at most antimony deposits run between 10% and 20%.
“A tonne of material grading 10% antimony would be the same as having a gold project with a grade of 21 grams gold equivalent per tonne,” he says. “That is unheard of these days.”
