0
Q

Why has antimony become such an important mineral?

Question 2 of 15
Brandon Bonifacio

Antimony gained attention after China restricted exports to the United States in 2024. Since the U.S. previously relied heavily on imported antimony, the restrictions created supply concerns and increased the urgency to develop domestic sources.

0
Q

How has the antimony market changed recently?

Question 3 of 15
Brandon Bonifacio

The price of antimony increased dramatically, rising from approximately $10,000 per ton to around $60,000 per ton. This increase reflects growing demand and limited supply, especially in Western countries.

0
Q

What industries rely on antimony?

Question 4 of 15

0
Q

What makes the Limousine Butte project unique?

Question 5 of 15

0
Q

How does NevGold compare to Perpetua Resources?

Question 8 of 15
