“With the recent decision by China to curtail worldwide sales of antimony, we are better understanding the importance of immediate access to critical minerals necessary not only for our military in munitions, but for everyday necessities such as batteries, fire retardants, computer chips,” United States Antimony said in a statement to its shareholders. “We are not in a free market when China controls so much of these materials around the world and then dictates when and how they will be sold.” The staking of the Alaska copper property came one week after United States Antimony finalized a deal to acquire a critical minerals project in Ontario covering high-grade cobalt, nickel, copper, and bismuth outcrops with minor silver and gold values. “Similar to our recent acquisition of mining claims with high grades of critical minerals located in Ontario, Canada, announced last week, these Alaskan properties continue to expand our in- house strategic mineral reserve options,” said Bardswich.
