sciencedirectIs Antimony mining a risk factor for supply disruptions?From 1990 to 2018 antimony mining was highly concentrated. The vertical integration of the largest mining and refining companies in 2018 also indicated a lower diversity of supply on a company level. We found that based on production volume, most antimony is mined as a by-product, which increases the vulnerability to supply disruptions.
