Antimony is a rare metal. In 2011, the global antimony ore reserves reached
1.80 million tons, while the static reserve-production ratio is only 12.4
years, so the supply of antimony ore raw material will be tight. China has the
world's most abundant antimony ore reserves, but it still has a large gap in
the supply of antimony ore raw materials. The antimony ores produced by
Russia, Bolivia, Tajikistan and other antimony giants are mainly exported to
China.
Seen from the pattern of the global antimony industry, antimony product output
of China has long accounted for over 90% of the world's total. In recent
years, the growth of antimony product output worldwide mainly comes from
China. As antimony is increasingly applied to flame retardants, lead-acid
batteries and other downstream areas, China has become the world's largest
antimony consumer.

The tight supply of antimony ore raw materials is a key hindrance to the
development of Chinese antimony industry. In 2011, antimony ore concentrate
output of China declined for the second consecutive year, just hitting 120,800
tons, down 4.9% year-on-year. In this case, China's antimony ore import volume
continued to grow. In 2011, China imported 60,150 tons of antimony placers and
concentrates, 3,214 tons of antimony oxide, 492 tons of antimony metal and
products. China antimony industry has been more dependent on the overseas
mineral raw materials.
To address the disorderly development of antimony ore resources in China,
China has enhanced rectification in Lengshuijiang and other regions where the
antimony ore reserves concentrate; the shutdown of a large number of small and
medium-sized antimony ore manufacturing enterprises is conducive to the rising
the market concentration degree of Chenzhou Mining, Flash Star Antimony and
other leading players.
In Chinese antimony industry, key companies include Flash Star Antimony,
Chenzhou Mining, Muli Antimony, SUNSTAR Metal Chemical and so on. Flash Star
Antimony and Chenzhou Mining are the world's first and second largest antimony
oxide production enterprises respectively.
In 2011, total revenue of Chenzhou Mining rose by 41.76% from a year earlier,
and the operating profit grew by 118.15% year on year. In 2011, Chenzhou
Mining conducted trial production of a new 15,000-ton antimony oxide
production line; and a 5,000-ton refined antimony expansion project commenced
as well. During 2012-2013, the processing capacity of antimony products of
Chenzhou Mining will be raised by 100%.
