Potential Antimony Mine profit6 Mar 2026 19:27
I know we are getting ahead of ourselves and there is a LONG way to go before we are in production with Antimony mine (probably 12 to 15 months IMHO) but I've had a look through AI at typical antimony mine costs for a small mine in Morocco. Costs such as recovery % , Royalty, typical production costs %, corp tax %. . I think all costs have been covered and I think they appear reasonable according to AI.
Running the figures and costs through AI this is what is showed below.
No doubt a few assumptions will be a bit out but may give an indication of annual profit at 60K tonnes a year production. I've been conservative with antimony price used and grade %
Circa $1m profit a month seems reasonable. We just need to hope that it actually happens and is not another failed venture !
The estimated annual post-tax profit for the mine is $10.746 million.
