Episode Details

Montana just dropped a mineral bombshell: a brand-new antimony mill in Radersburg, officially opened with a rock-breaking ceremony instead of a ribbon-cutting. Backed by Governor Greg Gianforte, this facility—owned by United States Antimony Corporation—aims to process critical minerals for U.S. military and energy needs, reducing reliance on China’s dominance in global antimony supply. After a $4.75M purchase and $2M in upgrades, including a state-of-the-art lab, the mill will transform raw ore into high-grade concentrate for smelting in Thompson Falls. It’s not just about antimony—potential for palladium, platinum, and cobalt looms, with plans for a future refinery. Already processing ore mined last fall, this project creates 20 local jobs and is a major stride toward securing America’s critical mineral supply chain at home.
