Military Metals Highlights the World Economic Forum's Antimony Summary - Slovakian Project Aligns with Global Antimony Strategy
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") welcomes the recent analysis by the World Economic Forum (the "WEF") on the increasing geopolitical and industrial urgency around antimony as a critical mineral. In its November 13, 2025 article, "From rare earths to antimony: A strategic approach to critical mineral supply," the WEF underscores supply chain vulnerabilities that align directly with Military Metals' mission and its flagship Trojárová antimony-gold project in Slovakia. (See: Strengthening critical mineral supply chains, starting with antimony | World Economic Forum).
Key Highlights from the World Economic Forum:
- The WEF article describes how China, Russia, and Tajikistan dominate over 90% of global antimony mine production — a concentration that represents a strategic risk for Western economies and defense supply chains.
- Recent export restrictions by China have driven antimony prices to as high as US$50,000 per tonne, spotlighting the urgent need for diversified, reliable supply.
- According to the WEF, the real bottleneck isn't refining capacity — which is underutilized outside China — but upstream mining, making new or restarted mines more important than ever.
- In its analysis, the WEF calls attention to antimony projects in Central and Eastern Europe (notably Slovakia) as key to re-establishing secure supply chains, and provides a hyperlink to the Company's acquisition of the Slovakian projects.
- The article highlights that long-term offtake agreements and mineral-specific industrial strategies are among the most promising tools to build resilience.
Scott Eldridge, CEO and Director stated, "The World Economic Forum's analysis underscores exactly why we acquired Trojárová: to responsibly explore and hopefully develop a secure, non-Chinese supply of antimony in Europe. We believe our Slovakian project is not just compelling — it's strategically critical."
Located in Slovakia, the Trojárová project sits in a region the WEF explicitly names as promising for antimony supply diversification. As global demand for antimony increases and supply risks mount, the Trojárová project has the potential to play a critical role in bolstering Western industrial and defense resilience. The current geopolitical climate (export restrictions, price spikes) validates the urgency of developing upstream mining capacity in Europe. The WEF argues for long-term offtake agreements. The project's European location may also make it eligible for public-private partnerships, critical minerals funding, or EU strategic backing, consistent with the WEF's call for coordinated industrial strategies.
