Perpetua Resources' Stibnite gold-antimony mine in Idaho received authorization from the U.S. Forest Service, a critical milestone for the project. The mine is expected to help address the U.S. antimony supply shortage and provide environmental benefits.

Perpetua Resources' Stibnite gold project in Idaho may become the U.S.' sole domestic source of antimony, as China plans to restrict exports of the critical metal. The project has enough antimony to potentially meet half of U.S. domestic consumption for six years.

Metallis Resources announced significant antimony assay results from its Greyhound property in Idaho, USA, as China imposes new export restrictions on antimony and related elements, highlighting the strategic importance of this critical mineral.

China's recent changes to export controls on critical minerals like antimony and tungsten could have serious global supply chain implications. Mining companies are working to improve the chances for countries outside of China to compete in the critical minerals market.
