World Economic Forum Highlights Antimony Risks and Military Metals Responds
How Military Metals’ Slovakian Antimony Project Aligns With the World Economic Forum’s Call for Diversified Critical Mineral Supply
The global race to secure critical minerals has taken a sharp turn toward antimony and Military Metals Corp (CSE: MILI | OTCQB: MILIF) finds itself squarely in the conversation. The World Economic Forum’s recent analysis brings new clarity to a geopolitical challenge that has been building for years. Antimony is now widely recognized as a choke point material for defense manufacturing energy storage flame retardants and advanced technologies. With more than ninety percent of mine production controlled by China Russia and Tajikistan the West is confronting an uncomfortable reality. Dependence on this narrow supply base leaves governments and industries vulnerable to disruptions that could ripple through everything from ammunition supply to semiconductor fabrication.
As China tightens export conditions and pushes prices near fifty thousand dollars per tonne the spotlight has shifted toward regions capable of restoring balance. The WEF makes it clear that the issue is not refining capacity which sits underused outside China but the lack of new upstream mining. This places a premium on projects that can add meaningful tonnage to global supply and it places Military Metals’ Trojárová project in Slovakia in strategic territory.
Strategic Significance of the Trojárová Project
Located in a region the World Economic Forum specifically identifies as promising for antimony diversification the Trojárová project offers more than exploration potential. It offers a foothold in one of the only parts of Europe where antimony deposits of meaningful scale remain accessible. For Western governments and corporate buyers seeking to secure long term supply agreements the appeal of an EU jurisdiction cannot be overstated. Stable regulatory frameworks and clear permitting pathways combined with growing EU level momentum for critical minerals development bring legitimacy to early stage exploration efforts.
Scott Eldridge CEO and Director of Military Metals emphasizes that alignment. He notes that the Company acquired the Slovakian asset precisely because of its strategic implications. In a world where antimony is at the center of defense readiness and industrial resilience being in Europe matters. The project is early stage and the Company acknowledges that drilling success financing pathways and permitting will determine whether Trojárová can ultimately advance toward development. However the geopolitical context surrounding antimony is moving quickly and the WEF’s analysis validates that upstream mining capacity in Europe is not only needed but overdue.
