The largest antimony producing countries are China (e40,000 metric tons), Russia (e40,000 metric tons), Tajikistan (e22,000 metric tons). Source: USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026.

Which countries hold the largest antimony reserves?

The countries with the largest reported antimony reserves are China (830,000 metric tons), Russia (350,000 metric tons), Bolivia (310,000 metric tons). Source: USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026.

Who are the largest global producers of antimony?

Among 840+ producers tracked on TSM Hub, the largest disclosed antimony producers include Mandalay Resources Corporation (Canada), Sun Metals Corp. / Mandalay (Costerfield, Australia) (Australia), Bolkar Madencilik (Turkish antimony operations) (Turkey). Some operating antimony producers do not publish metal-specific tonnage — such as Bolkar Madencilik (Turkish antimony operations) (Turkey), Hsikwangshan Twinkling Star Co., Ltd. (China), Hunan Huaxing Nonferrous Holdings Co., Ltd. (China) — and are listed with an “Undisclosed Output” badge instead of a rank, in line with our principle of never inventing numbers absent from primary sources. Full ranking with primary-source links is available in the producers section.

Where can I find official antimony price data?

Official antimony prices are published by Spot. TSM Hub aggregates these feeds under licensed market-data redistributor agreements and updates them twice daily.

What is the primary source for antimony production and reserves data?

Country-level antimony production and reserves figures on TSM Hub are sourced directly from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, the U.S. Geological Survey's authoritative annual reference. Company-level production figures come from each producer's official annual report, production report, or regulated exchange filing.

What is ferrous scrap?

Ferrous scrap is steel and iron recovered from end-of-life products, manufacturing offcuts, demolition and home-scrap (re-melt scrap generated inside a steel mill itself). Standardised grades include heavy melting scrap (HMS 1 and HMS 2), shredded auto scrap, busheling (clean factory offcuts), plate-and-structural (P&S), and bundles. Steel is the most recycled material on Earth by mass — per USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 — Iron and Steel Scrap, the overall US recycling rate has been 80-90% over the past decade. Recycling rates by end-use: structural steel 97%, autos ~100%, appliances 78%, construction end-uses 74%, steel containers 62%.

How scrap is priced

The global seaborne benchmark is the LME Steel Scrap CFR Turkey (Platts) cash-settled futures contract — Turkey is the world's #1 scrap importer, and the Platts CFR Turkey HMS 1/2 80:20 assessment is the underlying. Domestic US prices use the AMM busheling Midwest assessment from Fastmarkets / American Metal Market, settled monthly between mills and brokers; CME also lists a busheling Midwest futures contract. Platts and Argus publish parallel European, Asian and Indian regional scrap assessments. Scrap value is the floor for EAF mill economics globally.

Where scrap comes from

Scrap supply is structurally tied to the installed stock of steel (the steel-in-use) in each economy. Per USGS MCS 2026 Iron-Steel Scrap, US apparent scrap consumption in 2025 was ~57 Mt, sourced 89% from net market receipts and 11% from home (mill-internal) scrap. The US is also a large net scrap exporter — first 8 months 2025 export shares: Turkey 29%, Bangladesh 13%, India 10%. Other top global scrap exporters: EU (Netherlands hub, Germany), Russia, Canada, Mexico. Top global importers: Turkey, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam, Pakistan, Egypt. China is now a net scrap exporter as domestic post-consumer scrap rises.

Who produces scrap

Scrap is not "produced" in the traditional sense — it is collected, sorted, sheared, shredded, baled and traded. The largest scrap-processing groups globally:

United States: Sims Metal Management, Commercial Metals Company (CMC), SMS, Schnitzer Steel (Radius Recycling), OmniSource (Steel Dynamics), Nucor internal scrap (via The David J. Joseph Co.).
Europe: Scholz Recycling (Germany), Derichebourg (France), Eldan (Denmark).
Global trading houses: Trafigura, Glencore.

The Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) publishes annual world recycled-steel statistics.

What scrap is used for

Ferrous scrap feeds two main routes:

Electric-arc-furnace (EAF) steelmaking — charge is typically 80-100% scrap (vs ~30% scrap in a BF-BOF). EAF mills produce ~70% of US steel and growing shares in EU and Turkey. Per USGS, the US has 47 EAF companies operating 102 minimills.
BF-BOF cooling charge — integrated mills add 15-30% scrap to the BOF for thermal balance.
Foundry castings — grey iron and ductile-iron castings use a high-scrap charge.

The EAF route emits 70-80% less CO₂ per tonne of steel than the BF-BOF route, making scrap the most-discussed decarbonisation feedstock of the industry.

Key facts about scrap supply

Scrap availability is a function of stock-of-use accumulated over decades — mature economies (USA, EU, Japan) are structurally scrap-rich; rapidly-industrialising economies (India, ASEAN) are structurally scrap-short and must import.
EU CBAM imposes carbon costs on imported semi-finished steel from January 2026 — EAF scrap-route steel benefits from the lowest embedded-CO₂ footprint among major steelmaking processes.
Reserves: not applicable. Scrap is a recycled stream, not a mineral reserve. The relevant statistic is global stock-in-use, currently estimated at ~33 Gt of steel by the World Steel Association.
