What is moving the antimony price
From peak to correction
USGS records average prices up from $9.80 per pound in August 2024 to $18.10 in December 2024 after China's export restrictions and its ban on shipments to the United States, a further 52% to $27.50 per pound by June 2025, then a decline to $20.30 per pound in November 2025. In kilograms that is $60.63 at the peak and $44.75 in November. The $36.18 reference price today is $16.41 per pound.
Concentrated mine supply
World antimony mine production was 110,000 tonnes in 2025 (USGS): China 40,000 t, Russia 32,000, Tajikistan 22,000, Bolivia 5,000, Burma 4,500, Turkey 3,000. US net import reliance was 91% in 2025. The United States imported 55% of its antimony metal and oxide from China in 2021–24.
Western supply projects
USGS reports one US company began mining antimony in Montana in 2025 and another broke ground on an Idaho mine, with conditional Department of War funding of $80 million. The Idaho project reports 14 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves at a 0.42% antimony cutoff.
