What is Antimony – and Why Does It Matter?
Antimony is a critical mineral with essential applications across a wide range of industries. From advanced electronics and semiconductors to flame retardants and military-grade alloys, this versatile element plays a vital role in both consumer and defense technologies.
At Antimony Invest, our mission is to demystify this strategic resource and provide investors with timely, actionable insights into the antimony market—covering everything from global supply chains and geopolitical developments to junior exploration opportunities in North America.
A Global Supply Crisis Created by the 2024 China Export Ban
China currently dominates the global antimony supply, producing over 70% of the world’s output. However, in late 2024, Beijing imposed a ban on antimony exports—citing national resource security concerns and rising domestic demand. This decision sent shockwaves through international markets, disrupting supply chains and exposing the vulnerabilities of Western industries reliant on this material.
The result? A surge in demand for locally sourced antimony, with North America experiencing a renewed interest in exploration and project development. This shift presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for early-stage investors.

These opportunities are often high risk high reward plays because there is no guarantee than a junior will be successful in developing a producing mine. However, we have seen in the past that these stocks can increase in value with successful exploration updates and even move upwards as the price of antimony increases, trading both trading and investing opportunities.
