According to customs data, China's antimony oxide exports in November 2025 were 302 mt, a significant increase MoM compared to the 108 mt exported in October. Although the volume remains relatively low compared to normal export levels, many market participants noted a marked improvement compared to the previous months, which saw exports of only a few hundred mt, indicating a strengthening trend in export willingness along the industry chain. While full-year 2025 antimony oxide exports are expected to be substantially lower than the previous year, if the overall export trend continues to improve, it is expected to 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.
