The second quarter of 2026 is off to a strong start
U.S. Antimony announced yesterday that it has completed the delivery of its first shipments during the second quarter of 2026 under a $245 million supply contract with the Defense Logistics Agency, an agency of the Department of Defense.
Delivering about 82,000 pounds of antimony metal ingots in the initial two shipments, the company generated approximately $2.6 million. TU.S. Antimony is waiting on government inspections of two additional shipments before delivery. In total, the company has received $57.3 million in antimony ingot orders from the Defense Logistics Agency since the inception of the contract.
U.S. Antimony will benefit from the United States’ push to shore up its supply of critical minerals
While mining companies that specialize in rare-earth elements receive the lion’s share of attention when investors investigate critical mineral stocks, it’s important to recognize that antimony (not a rare-earth element) is also vital to the nation’s security. As the operator of the only major domestic antimony smelter, U.S. Antimony is a compelling growth play for minerals-focused investors with higher risk tolerances, as the company is currently unprofitable.
