Australia's Antimony Supply Chain Snapshot as of January 2026

Geoscience Australia Data provides a national snapshot of Australia's antimony sector as of January 2026. The dataset includes information on production, resources, and exploration for this critical mineral. It was last updated on May 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling primary supply growth for technology-driven applications based on production and resource data.
• Assessing the strategic importance of antimony for defense applications based on the description of its use in ammunition.
• Analyzing shifts in demand from traditional to modern sectors like solar photovoltaic glass based on the consumption trends described.
• Evaluating the impact of recycling rates on metallurgical demand based on the supply chain overview.

Strengths

• Provides a national snapshot with a specific temporal reference point: January 2026.
• Covers multiple facets of the supply chain: production, resources, and exploration.
• Focuses on a defined critical mineral, antimony, with clear strategic applications.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided as a PDF, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
