US Antimony Restarts Mexico Smelter Plant After Over a Year
United States Antimony Corp restarted its Madero smelter in Mexico, over a year after halting Latin American operations due to financial losses and low antimony prices. The move follows China’s 2024 export ban on critical minerals, driving antimony prices up. The company aims to process 200 tons monthly by year-end, using international ore sources, amid U.S. efforts to boost domestic critical mineral production.
