World Resources: U.S. resources of antimony are mainly in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. Principal identified world resources are in Bolivia, China, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa. Additional antimony resources may occur in Mississippi Valley-type lead deposits in the Eastern United States.
Please note that the U.S. reserves are the lowest amongst these these countries & China continues to hold the Trump Cards. What a wonderful opportunity for Silverado Gold Mines to step up to the plate. Also note world production is on the decline, making our antimony all the more attractive & valuable!
