Chinese policy reforms bring stability to antimony market

Decades of market instability for the main minerals and metals produced by China appear to be finally over. Boom and bust manipulation of markets and prices through alternate dumping of supplies and withdrawal from the market of commodities such as tungsten, tin and antimony had all but destroyed mine output and development in competing countries. The extent to which it had ravaged China' s own mineral resources through over-exploitation, high-grading, damage to mine workings and loss of life was apparently only recently recognised by Chinese authorities. Widespread mine shutdowns and investigations that followed led to wide-ranging policy reforms aimed at resource conservation, orderly development, mine safety, environmental protection and value-added further processing, all controlled by quotas and licensing of mining, smelting and exporting. As with everything the Chinese do in the antimony industry, the changes had worldwide effect. Prices rose from the 40 year low of less than US$1,000/t in August 2001, to the US$5,300 to US$5,400/t level as of mid 2007. Moreover, a number of factors not present during past buoyant price periods indicate that the recovery will endure. China is now also the largest importer of ores and concentrates, and its own domestic demand has also become the world' s largest. This solid foundation for the antimony industry has reawakened interest in antimony resources in Australia, North America, Latin America, Russia and elsewhere, and new projects are under development. Cambrian Mining plc' s Costerfield, Australia project began production in January 2006 and with the refurbished Straits Hillgrove Gold project in New South Wales going forward, Australia will be producing over 12,000tpy antimony metal equivalent.
