Read up on that little China thing. I think they closed down all there mines. Or the government confiscated all of them. Ill have to do some reading myself but something like that came through on the radar back some time ago.
Why?...BECAUSE... Antimony is in the, ‘at highest risk’ category ahead of the Rare Earth Elements and current reserves, based on current usage, will run out in the next 8 – 12 years (according to different sources, including the US Geological Survey and China Minmetals Non-ferrous Division). The largest mine, accounting for over 50% of Chinese production is expected to come to the end of its mining life in 5 years, this mine has been mined for over 110 years. Some anticipate a precipitous drop in supply at this point and further export restrictions. This is WHY!
