The world is heading toward a new commodity conflict, and antimony is suddenly in the spotlight. Neither the defense industry nor modern technologies can function without this metal. But, as with rare earths, the West is dependent on China. Amid this geopolitical imbalance, Antimony Resources Corp. is coming into focus. The Company is developing one of the more advanced and promising antimony projects in North America in a secure jurisdiction and with convincing recent progress. This presents investors with a rare opportunity to invest early in a strategic commodity that is becoming increasingly valuable, both politically and economically.

    Strategically indispensable in uncertain times

    Antimony has risen from a little-noticed by-product to a key strategic raw material for modern economies. The semi-metal is mainly used in flame retardants, batteries, semiconductors, special alloys, and military and security applications. The latter in particular gives antimony a geopolitical dimension that is increasingly attracting the attention of investors.

    The global supply structure is cause for concern. China accounts for more than 70% of global production, with other significant quantities coming from politically unstable regions such as Russia and Tajikistan. For Western industrialized nations, this results in a dangerous dependence on a raw material that is indispensable for defense, electrification, and technological sovereignty. Accordingly, antimony is officially classified as a critical raw material by the US and the EU. The search for secure Western supply chains is thus becoming increasingly important.

    The solution for the West

    Antimony Resources is positioning itself specifically as a North American antimony specialist. The Canadian exploration and development company is entirely focused on establishing a reliable source of antimony in a politically stable jurisdiction. Its core asset is the Bald Hill antimony project in the province of New Brunswick.

    The approximately 1,100-hectare property is considered one of the largest known antimony deposits in North America. The mineralization is predominantly high-grade stibnite and is easily accessible. Historical work and modern drilling programs confirm an extensive, consistent system. A technical report from last year outlines an exploration target of approximately 2.7 million tons with 3 to 4% antimony.

    Antimony Resources is pursuing a clearly structured development approach with systematic exploration, step-by-step reduction of geological risks, and preparation of a formal resource estimate. The goal is to establish a western antimony value chain, from exploration to potential production.

    Strong year in 2025 – Clear roadmap for 2026

    Operationally, 2025 was an extremely busy and successful year for Antimony Resources. More than 8,000 meters of drilling was completed at Bald Hill last year. At the same time, a detailed 3D model of the deposit was created. The Main Zone was extended to a length of over 700 meters, while mineralization was confirmed to depths of over 400 meters.

    Another milestone was the CAD 9.4 million capital increase in December, which fully finances the upcoming development work. For 2026, the Company plans to drill at least 10,000 meters of definition drilling to establish the basis for an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. In addition, metallurgical tests, further field work, and the preparation of regulatory steps are on the agenda. For explorers, this is the classic transition from pure story to robust valuation fundamentals, with enormous opportunities for investors.

    Latest drill results confirm high-grade system

    The recently published drill results from the fall program impressively underscore the potential of Bald Hill. High-grade antimony-bearing stibnite was intersected in up to 80% of the drill holes, often in multiple zones per hole. Highlights include 5.10% antimony (Sb) over 4.0 m, 2.15% Sb over 6.85 m, and 2.38% Sb over 9.60 m.

    The data confirms robust, consistent mineralization with average grades of approximately 3 to 4% antimony. Of particular importance is the fact that the deposit extends both laterally and at depth, further increasing the potential for a substantial resource.


    Antimony Resources is steadily developing into one of the more compelling antimony explorers outside China. In an environment of rising geopolitical tensions and growing shortages of strategic raw materials, the company appears well-positioned. With a market capitalization of around CAD 80 million, it remains at an early stage of development. With continued successes in the planned drilling program for the current year and the completion of a resource compliant with Canadian standard NI 43-101, Antimony Resources stands to attract increased investor attention.

    Alarm bells are ringing at BioNTech! Billions at Hensoldt! Buying opportunity at North Arrow Minerals!

    "Buy first, then kill," was how Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer reacted to BioNTech's planned site closures. The reason is that, within this framework, virtually all sites of the recently acquired CureVac are set to be shut down. A CureVac co-founder has also made serious allegations, and BioNTech shares are declining. At the same time, there may be an opportunity for rising prices with a gold gem. While the gold price continues to consolidate, there are arguments in favour of an investment in North Arrow Minerals. The company has repositioned itself and is now focusing on an interesting gold project. Just a few kilometres away lies the multi-million-ounce Harmony Gold Kalgold open-pit mine. Meanwhile, Hensoldt has outperformed its industry peers, Rheinmetall and RENK, so far this year. Yesterday, it became clear that there are indeed good reasons for this. So, should investors buy now?

    The world of renewable energy and modern energy storage is on the move again, sending investors into a frenzy. While companies like Ballard Power and Nel ASA have already delivered impressive price surges and positive analyst upgrades, a smaller technological pioneer still seems to be waiting in the wings for its big moment. We are talking about HPQ Silicon, a company that is causing a sensation with groundbreaking lab results and its first commercial orders in the field of battery technology. In this report, we examine the current momentum of established hydrogen players and analyze why the technical charts for HPQ Silicon could be set for "victory." Read on to find out whether, following the rebound of the big players, the moment has perhaps arrived for the next hidden champion to break through resistance and set its sights on new price targets.

    From Niche Metal to Strategic Asset: Antimony Resources Gains Relevance for Rheinmetall and BASF

    What was long considered an obscure niche metal is now critical to the defence, chemical, and energy sectors. Antimony is used to harden alloys, improve flame resistance in plastics, and support certain battery technologies. At the same time, China controls 70% of production and strictly limits its exports. The result is price spikes of over 400% within two years. Without independent sources, Western industries risk being paralyzed. This is not a theoretical scenario, but an acute reality. Reason enough to take a closer look at the defence contractor Rheinmetall, the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, and the chemical company BASF.
