GreenX Metals Ltd - developing Arctic Rift copper project in Greenland - Reports high-grade antimony mineralisation at its Eleonore North project in Greenland, with samples showing antimony grades up to 23%. The findings highlight potential for both antimony and gold deposits.
The announcement comes as global antimony prices soar to USD37,500 per tonne from USD5,000 to USD10,000 per tonne following China's recent export restrictions on critical minerals. Antimony, essential for defence and renewable energy applications, is now designated a critical raw material by both the EU and the US.
Chief Executive Office Ben Stoikovich said: "Antimony is of critical importance in multiple defence applications and for the energy transition. Antimony features on both the EU and US critical raw materials lists due to China's dominance of global antimony supply. We plan to now re-focus our exploration program at ELN on both gold and antimony targets."
