Lengshuijiang Junti Announces Public Tender for 200 Tonnes of No. 1 Antimony Ingot

According to SMM estimates, China's Grade 1 sodium pyroantimonate production in June 2026 will edge down slightly from the previous month, by approximately 4%, marking a second consecutive monthly decline following the modest dip seen in May.

According to SMM estimates, China's antimony ingot production (including antimony ingots, crude antimony on a converted basis, cathode antimony, etc.) in June 2026 edged up by approximately 2% month-on-month, showing a notably stable trend overall.

On the supply side of the antimony market, overseas ore continues to flow into the domestic market. The six-month-long price decline has prompted some traders to offload their inventories, though the downtrend has shown signs of easing recently. Major producers such as Yunnan Muli have gradually suspended production, yet some large manufacturers still have spot material available for sale, meaning supply is unlikely to tighten significantly in the near term.Market participants note that from a cost perspective, the mining cost of self-owned antimony ore at some major producers has risen to nearly 100,000 yuan per metal tonne. When adding the smelting and processing charges for antimony ingots, current spot prices are gradually approaching production costs.
