The Global Battle for Critical Metals
As the world teeters on the brink of war, access to critical metals has become the most pressing issue of our time. These metals, essential for the production of military equipment, hold the key to superpower status and global domination. China’s stranglehold on the global supply of critical metals, including antimony, has left the Western world scrambling to catch up.
Antimony: The Military Metal
Antimony, a critical metalloid, is a key element in the American war machine. It’s used in communication equipment, night vision goggles, explosives, ammunition, nuclear weapons, submarines, warships, optics, and laser sighting. The U.S. Army relies heavily on antimony, but China’s control of nearly half of the world’s antimony production has put the U.S. military in a precarious position.
The Antimony Shortage
China’s decision to cut off antimony exports to the U.S. has sent shockwaves through the military-industrial complex. The U.S. Army is desperate for antimony, and prices have more than tripled since earlier this year. The situation is critical, with the U.S. Department of Defense and its Western counterparts scrambling to secure new supplies.
Military Metals Corp.: A Beacon of Hope
Enter Military Metals Corp. (CSE:MILI; OTCQB:MILIF), a junior miner that’s emerged as a key player in the critical metals space. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, Military Metals Corp. has secured ownership of key antimony properties in Europe and North America, including the Trojarova Antimony Project in Slovakia and the West Gore Antimony Project in Nova Scotia, Canada.
The Trojarova Antimony Project
Located in the heart of Central Europe, the Trojarova Antimony Project is one of Europe’s largest antimony deposits, with a historical resource of over 61,998 tons of antimony worth around $2 billion in situ value at today’s spot prices. The project has already seen two phases of exploration, including drilling and adit excavation, and is poised to become a major supplier of antimony to the Western world.
The West Gore Antimony Project
The West Gore Antimony Project in Nova Scotia, Canada, is another key asset in Military Metals Corp.’s portfolio. The project has a historical resource of over 7 meters of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony, making it a significant source of antimony and gold.
The Antimony Land Rush
Military Metals Corp.’s strategic acquisition binge has put it at the forefront of the antimony land rush. As the U.S. government and its Western counterparts scramble to secure new supplies of critical metals, Military Metals Corp. is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand.
Other Companies to Watch
Other companies worth keeping an eye on in the critical metals space include Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC), Boeing (NYSE: BA), Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), BHP Group (NYSE: BHP), Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX), Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN), Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU), Neo Performance Materials (TSX: NEO), and Aclara Resources (TSX: ARA).
The Future of Critical Metals
As the world hurtles towards a new era of conflict, the battle for critical metals will only intensify. Military Metals Corp.’s strategic acquisitions and commitment to developing new antimony resources make it a key player in the critical metals space. With prices soaring and demand skyrocketing, the future of critical metals has never been more uncertain – or more promising.
