"The Stibnite Gold Project has the potential to secure America?s supply of antimony. Currently, the United States has no mined supply of this critical mineral. We have the opportunity to change that. The Stibnite Gold Project could supply approximately 35 percent of the American demand for antimony in the first six years of production, according to our feasibility study. Mining responsibly here at home can help secure a safe and renewably-powered future.
Antimony is one of 35 minerals that have been deemed critical by the Department of the Interior because of its unique mineral properties. It has also been named a critical mineral by the European Union, Canada and Australia. Antimony strengthens alloys and makes them resistant to corrosion. It is used in munitions for national defense, flame retardants, wind and hydro turbines, solar panels, large storage batteries, spaceships, cell phones, semiconductors, plastics and cable sheathing.
