  1. Australia will prioritize antimony, gallium and rare earth elements as part of its $802 million strategic reserve, as its treasurer prepares to join a G7 meeting to discuss critical minerals. japantimes.co.jp/business/2026 #business #markets #australia #antimony #gallium #rareearths #mining

  2. Remember the Urunga wetlands waste tailings rich in antimony, arsenic, lead and cyanide?

    "For five years in the 1960s and 1970s, antimony and other heavy metals leached from an ore processing plant into the melaleuca wetlands. The wetlands used to open up into a moonscape of light grey sand with not a single bit of vegetation."

  3. Pricing for key chipmaking material hits 13-year high following Chinese export restrictions — #China's restrictions on #Gallium exports hit hard
    China is the primary global supplier, accounting for 94% of gallium production. Prices rose to $595 per kilogram, a 17% increase over the previous level on December 11, the highest price since 2011. This sharp increase follows China's latest export ban of critical minerals to the US, including gallium, #germanium, and #antimony.

  4. What #China’s critical #mineral ban means for the #US
    In explicitly cutting off, rather than merely restricting, materials of strategic importance to the #semiconductor, #defense, and #electricvehicle sectors (#gallium, #germanium, #antimony), China has clearly crossed a new line in the long-simmering #tradewar. The nation has signaled it’s prepared to hit back harder still, in ways that could inflict serious #economic pain on its biggest economic rival.
