USGS Antimony Mine Production and Reserves by Country
USGS Antimony Mine Production and Reserves by Country. MCS is the USGS annual mineral commodity report. Antimony is a metalloid used in flame retardants, batteries and alloys; Sb is its symbol. The 2025 production is estimated, and “greater than” reserves are lower bounds. Mine production is antimony contained in mined material. Reserves are known deposits judged economic to recover today, not all antimony underground. The 2025 production figures are estimates. Read production and reserves in their separate panels; a “greater than” reserve mark is a lower bound, not an exact total. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS World Antimony Mine Production by Country, 2010–2022
USGS World Antimony Mine Production by Country, 2010–2022. MYB means the USGS Minerals Yearbook. For each year, this chart uses the newest available Yearbook table that still reports that observation, because older years can be revised in later editions. “Reported-country total” is the sum of countries present in the selected table, not an official complete world total. A country missing from a table is left missing rather than counted as zero. The first panel shows that comparable sum; the second shows major producers in contained-antimony tonnes. Compare direction and scale, noting that source revisions may change past values. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS World Antimony Production Concentration, 2010–2022
USGS World Antimony Production Concentration, 2010–2022. This chart is calculated from the USGS Minerals Yearbook country table; USGS does not publish these concentration lines as a separate official series. Top producer is the largest reported producer in that year; Top three adds the three largest. A higher percentage means more output is concentrated in fewer countries. Every percentage uses the reported-country total, not a guaranteed complete world total. Concentration can point to supply-chain exposure, but it does not by itself predict price direction.

USGS U.S. Antimony Supply History
USGS U.S. Antimony Supply History. Data Series 140 (DS140) is the USGS long-run historical statistics collection. It lets the reader see structural changes across many decades, not a current monthly market reading. Mine production comes from ore; smelter production is output after heating and separating the metal. Primary production uses newly mined material, while secondary production recovers antimony from recycled material. Apparent consumption is a calculated supply measure based on production, trade and stock changes, not a direct survey of every end user. The panels describe related stages and should not be added together. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS U.S. Antimony Unit Value History
USGS U.S. Antimony Unit Value History. USGS “unit value” is an annual average value per metric ton derived from historical production or trade records. It is not a live exchange quote or a price offered for every grade and contract. Nominal values are the dollars recorded in each year. Constant-1998 values adjust those dollars to 1998 purchasing power, making distant years easier to compare after inflation. Use this chart for long-run price context, not for a current transaction. Changes in product mix, reporting practice and market structure can affect comparisons across more than a century. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS Recent U.S. Antimony Market
USGS Recent U.S. Antimony Market. MCS is the annual USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries report. It combines the most recent U.S. production, estimated use, price and import-dependence indicators in separate panels. Primary smelting uses newly mined feed; secondary production recovers recycled antimony. Apparent consumption is calculated from supply, trade and stock changes, not measured at every final user. Net import reliance estimates the share of U.S. apparent consumption supplied by net imports. The 2025 figures are estimates, and the price, percentage and tonnage panels must not be added together.

USGS Recent U.S. Antimony Trade by Product Form
USGS Recent U.S. Antimony Trade by Product Form. Antimony oxide is a processed compound used especially in flame-retardant systems. Unwrought metal and powder are basic metal forms; articles are finished or semi-finished goods; scrap is recyclable used material. Oxide and unwrought-metal figures measure contained antimony. Articles and scrap use gross product weight, so the panels are not directly comparable and must not be added or netted. The 2025 entries are USGS estimates. This chart shows product-form trade flows; it does not convert gross weight into antimony content or claim that every product has the same purity.

USGS U.S. Antimony Import Sources
USGS U.S. Antimony Import Sources. Ore and concentrates are mined material upgraded before refining; oxide is processed; unwrought metal and powder are basic forms. “Total metal and oxide” uses only the USGS-defined categories. Each panel is a separate 100% breakdown for one product group. Do not combine the four panels into one country ranking, because the products and supplier mixes are different. The shares average 2021–2024, smoothing individual shipments to show sustained sourcing. A large share suggests dependence on that supplier for the product group, not every shipment’s exact origin.
