Recently @USAntimony produced MIL-A-159D compliant antimony tri-sulfide for US Military for ordinance primers. However antimony’s usage is extremely broad, ranging from ammo to fire retardants to semiconductors. In classical world even used as makeup: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohl…

“A Survey of the World Antimony Situation” from 1969 by @CIA. Interesting parallels for today. In 1938 US was suddenly cut off from Chinese antimony due to trade war with Japan. Mexico made up the difference, hence $UAMY’s recent acquisitions in MX: cia.gov/library/readingroom/…

World production of #antimony from 1913 to 1937. From “Strategic Mineral Supplies” by G.A. Roush published 1939.
