China's November antimony trioxide exports rise significantly month-on-month
According to customs data, China's antimony trioxide exports in November 2025 amounted to 302 tons, representing a significant month-on-month increase compared to the 108 tons exported in October. Although the current volume remains relatively low compared to normal export levels, many market participants noted that November’s exports showed a clear improvement relative to the past few months, which typically saw exports of around a few hundred tons. This also indicates a strengthening willingness to export within the industry chain. Although it is expected that the total antimony trioxide exports for the year will be significantly lower than last year on a year-on-year basis, if overall antimony trioxide exports begin to recover, it could positively impact market confidence in antimony prices for December and even the coming year.

Airstrike Hits Myanmar Mining Site, Disrupting Antimony Production and Forcing Miners to Flee
According to a report by the Burma News International (BNI) on May 4, 2026, a mining site near Three Pagoda Pass (the Three Pagodas area) in Myanmar was recently hit by an airstrike. Miners have fled to the town of Three Pagodas for shelter, and mining operations have been forced to halt. Informed market sources suggest that the Three Pagodas area primarily produces lead and antimony ore. Given the current situation, resuming antimony production after a ceasefire could take a considerable amount of time. Moreover, the challenges facing mining operations are not limited to the impact of war and the upcoming rainy season — they may also include shortages of fuel and explosives.
