Red Mountain Mining announced that drilling at its Oaky Creek prospect in New South Wales intersected "ultra-high-grade" antimony ore grading 34.3%.

The company stated that the prospect "continues to show exceptionally high-grade" mineralization, with 11 out of 13 samples collected from the soil antimony anomaly zone returning high-grade results.

Auger drilling is currently underway, and the company aims to test the orogenic antimony-gold target during H1 drilling.

Yandal Resources announced that high-grade orebody extensions at the Arrakis gold discovery within its Well-Barwidgee project in Western Australia are consistently defined.

Key intersections from drilling completed by the end of 2025 included:

24 meters grading 1.3 grams per mt gold from 136 meters downhole, including a 7-meter interval grading 2.8 grams per mt.

The company plans to restart drilling by March and accelerate the program after the rainy season ends.

Renegade Exploration reported that initial field work at its Broken Hills project in Nevada, US, indicates the epithermal gold-silver deposit extends over 2,000 meters along strike, with potential for further expansion.

Rock chip sample assays returned silver grades up to 1,013 grams per mt and gold grades of 8.6 grams per mt.

"The new discovery has reignited interest in this world-class mineral belt, which has hosted numerous major gold-silver and copper deposits," the company stated.

China's Antimony Oxide Exports Steady at 345.75 Tons in March, Trend Remains Weak
According to customs data, China's antimony oxide export volume in March 2026 stood at 345.75 metric tons. On a month-on-month basis, this showed little change compared to the February export volume of 379.8 metric tons. Many market participants noted that China's antimony oxide exports have remained at a level of a few hundred metric tons per month over the past several months, with no significant improvement in the export trend. This also reflects a lack of strong willingness to export along the industrial chain. It is anticipated that the total antimony oxide export volume for the full year will be significantly lower than last year on a month-on-month basis.

Customs data shows that China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates reached 9,263.96 metric tons in March 2026, continuing to rise from the February import volume of 6,693.67 metric tons on a month-on-month basis, and surpassing the 9,000-metric-ton mark for the first time in recent years. Market participants stated that given the narrowing price gap between domestic and international markets, the increase in antimony ore imports is reasonable. However, many market participants also indicated that the long-term tight supply trend for imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist in the future.
