Defence sovereignty and supply security. Every NATO arsenal runs on it. Twenty-seven EU states. Zero domestic mines. The metal Beijing has already shown it will switch off.

Western-sourced antimony is no longer a niche commodity story. It is now a strategic priority for every NATO government, financed at a scale that didn’t exist two years ago. Germany’s own armaments and industrial supply chains carry the same exposure as the rest of the EU: zero domestic antimony production, total reliance on imports. Antimony Resources Corp. holds 100% of Bald Hill, one of the most actively drilled high-grade antimony discoveries in North America, led by a CEO who has already run a producing antimony mine. This is not exploration for its own sake but rather the next domestic source of a metal the entire Western alliance has unanimously declared it cannot do without.

China holds the switch on Western defence.

Antimony sits inside ammunition, armour-piercing rounds, night-vision systems, missile guidance and flame-retardant materials used across every NATO member state’s military, and China controls 80 to 90 percent of global antimony refining capacity. When Beijing introduced export controls in August 2024, Chinese antimony exports collapsed by roughly 97 percent and global antimony trioxide prices nearly doubled almost overnight. A partial commercial suspension announced in late 2025 has been misread as a resolution: the clause banning exports to military end-users was never lifted.[1]

Europe has zero mines and a 437% price shock.

There is currently no primary antimony extraction anywhere across the EU’s 27 member states, not in Germany, not in France, not in Poland. Chinese antimony shipments to the EU were halted in October 2024, and European antimony prices surged 437 percent between 2023 and 2025. The EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) sets ambitious 2030 targets for domestic extraction, but Europe’s own auditors have already warned the bloc is on track to miss them.[2]

Every Western ally has named it critical. None has secured it.

Antimony sits on the national critical-minerals lists of the United States, the EU, the UK, Canada and Australia, and is inside the ammunition, night-vision systems and armoured vehicles of every NATO member’s military. What is still missing across nearly every one of those jurisdictions is production. Washington has moved furthest: in February 2026, the US administration launched Project Vault, a Critical Minerals Reserve, backed by a $10 billion Export-Import Bank loan, the largest financing commitment in the agency’s 92-year history, plus roughly $2 billion in private capital, with antimony explicitly named among the targeted minerals. Canada is close behind. In March 2026 it signed a Letter of Intent with the European Investment Bank to deepen cooperation on critical raw materials, and its Budget 2025 went further still, creating a C$2 billion Critical Minerals Sovereign Fund and adding antimony by name to the minerals eligible for its Clean Technology Manufacturing investment tax credit, a direct federal commitment, from Bald Hill’s own home government, to exactly the metal it is drilling for.[3]

Antimony Resources’ Bald Hill: drilling the next Western source.

Bald Hill’s story starts with a deposit that has already produced before. Fifteen kilometers away sits the historic Lake George mine, which operated from the 1860s through 1998 and once supplied as much as 4 percent of global antimony demand. Antimony Resources Corp.’s President and CEO, Jim Atkinson, was the geologist who ran that exact mine, North America’s last producing antimony operation, and is now applying the same operating playbook to a 100%-held, 3,700-plus-hectare property being drilled at a pace unusual for a junior of its size. For Western supply chains, Bald Hill isn’t a speculative first attempt, it’s a known antimony district, run by someone who has already brought one into production.[4]

/ Point 01

Highest grade in North America

Recent assays have confirmed grades up to 44.2 percent antimony from South Zone trenching and 26.9 percent antimony in Main Zone drill core, among the highest grades reported at any antimony project on the continent.

/ Point 02

Open in every direction

Drilling has defined the Main Zone over 600-plus metres of strike to a depth of 495 metres, while the newly identified South Zone, Marcus Zone and BH Central Zone extend the system outward, with most of the 3,700-hectare property still unexplored.

Drilling at scale, right now

A total of 77 holes and more than 25,000 metres have been completed at Bald Hill since drilling began in April 2025, with three rigs currently running in parallel across the Main Zone expansion and the new satellite zones.

Bald Hill → New Brunswick → the next North American antimony supply

New Brunswick is not unproven ground. It is one of the only places in North America with a documented history of producing antimony at scale, and Bald Hill sits directly inside that legacy district, a jurisdiction with the infrastructure, expertise and regulatory familiarity already in place for exactly this kind of project.

Step 01

A proven district

Bald Hill sits 15 kilometers from the historic Lake George antimony mine, established geology and established infrastructure, with no open question about whether antimony exists here at scale.

15km from a century-long producing mine
Step 02

A direct line to Western buyers

New Brunswick sits inside Canada’s stable, NATO-aligned jurisdiction, a short logistics distance from the same US defense and industrial buyers now backed by a $10 billion strategic reserve.

/ 03 — Making the Case

Investment, De-Risked

The investment logic is structural. The West has almost no antimony supply outside an adversary it no longer trusts, and Bald Hill is one of the fastest-moving projects positioned to fill that gap. Three structural gaps are converging on one actively drilled asset.

/ Gap 01

The Supply Gap

Non-Chinese-aligned primary antimony supply in North America is close to zero, China’s export behavior has proven unreliable twice in two years, and antimony prices have risen from roughly $12,000 to nearly $60,000 per tonne as buyers scramble for alternatives.[5]

  • $12K → $60Kprice per tonne
  • 2xexport-control shocks since 2024
/ Gap 02

The Permitting Gap, Closed

While larger Western antimony projects face permitting processes that can run a decade or more, Bald Hill sits in a jurisdiction whose government has already shown up: New Brunswick’s Minister of Natural Resources toured the project in person in June 2026, citing the province’s new Comprehensive Minerals Strategy, a policy framework built explicitly to fast-track critical-mineral projects like this one. A formal permitting roadmap developed with GEMTEC Consulting is already targeting application between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027. That’s not a permitting advantage on paper; it’s a roadmap with a minister’s name and a date attached.

  • Q4 2026–Q1 2027permit application target
/ Gap 03

The Valuation Gap

As Western governments commit unprecedented sovereign capital — $10 billion through Project Vault, $2.9 billion through Perpetua’s Ex-Im Bank loan, Canada’s C$2 billion commitment — to secure non-Chinese antimony, the pool of high-grade, actively-drilled antimony assets outside China keeps shrinking. Against that backdrop, Antimony Resources trades at a market capitalisation of between C$60 million and C$70 million — a gap between what Western governments are now demonstrably willing to pay for secure antimony supply and what the market has priced into one of the highest-grade active drill programmes on the continent.

  • $10 Bn + $2.9 Bnsovereign capital committed

And that capital keeps arriving in waves, not as a single event: add the Pentagon’s $245 million antimony stockpile contract and Canada’s own Sovereign Fund to the tally above, and the pattern is a government formalising the same conclusion every few months, not a one-off. Bald Hill’s high-grade results sit directly in the path of all of it.

/ 04 — The Position

The defence supply chain is exposed. The window to fix it is closing. The drills are already turning.

The window for securing non-Chinese antimony supply is narrowing quickly. Beijing’s partial export suspension expires in November 2026, and Western stockpiles remain thin against the scale of what NATO’s defence industrial base actually consumes.

When a roughly 97 percent collapse in Chinese antimony exports meets a $10 billion US strategic reserve and an EU bloc with zero domestic mines across 27 member states, antimony stops being a niche commodity story. It becomes a question of whether NATO armies, European industry and electrified economies can source a metal they cannot do without from anywhere other than the adversary that has already shown it will weaponise the supply.

Investors who understood early what the August 2024 export controls actually signalled — and what a 437 percent European price surge and a $2.9 billion US federal loan have since confirmed — were ahead of a market that is, in places, still pricing junior antimony explorers as if the old, China-dependent supply chain still holds.

  1. The supply side is structurally broken. The demand is non-negotiable.
  2. Antimony Resources is drilling the gap.
  3. This is the reality.

Bald Hill is the position.
