United States Antimony Corporation has been ranked the second-fastest-growing company in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, another indication of accelerating demand for antimony and the growing importance of rebuilding secure North American critical-mineral supply chains.
The Texas-based company reported revenue growth of approximately 352% over the three-year period considered for the ranking. United States Antimony, which trades under the symbol NYSE: UAMY, operates an integrated antimony business that includes sourcing, milling, smelting and the production of finished antimony products.
The recognition comes as antimony moves from a comparatively obscure industrial metal into the centre of the United States’ critical-minerals strategy. Antimony is used in military applications, ammunition, flame-retardant products, lead-acid batteries, semiconductors and specialized alloys. Its combination of industrial and defence applications has made reliable supply increasingly important to governments and manufacturers.
China has historically dominated the global antimony market. Export restrictions introduced by Beijing have increased concerns about the availability of the metal and highlighted the limited processing and production capacity currently available in North America.
United States Antimony operates what it describes as the only significant antimony smelter in the United States, along with additional processing operations in Mexico. The company’s position within the domestic supply chain has become increasingly strategic as Washington directs more funding toward critical minerals, defence procurement and national stockpile replenishment.
In 2025, United States Antimony secured a five-year, sole-source contract with the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency valued at up to US$245 million. The agreement covers the supply of antimony metal ingots for the U.S. national defence stockpile and demonstrates the scale of government demand that may emerge as the country attempts to reduce its dependence on foreign-controlled supply chains.
The company’s rapid revenue growth is therefore part of a broader structural shift. Antimony demand is increasingly being shaped by national-security policy, government procurement and supply-chain resilience, in addition to traditional industrial consumption.
Krait Builds Exposure to U.S. Antimony Exploration
The changing antimony market is also creating opportunities for exploration companies working to identify and advance potential domestic sources of the metal.
Krait Critical Minerals Corp. (CSE: KRIT | FSE: U0S) recently completed the acquisition of Nevada Hills Antimony LLC, adding interests in the Bales Antimony and Antimony Bell projects in Washington State to its North American critical-minerals portfolio.
Located in Okanogan County, the Bales Antimony Project hosts a historically documented stibnite-bearing vein system and evidence of past small-scale production. Historical records cited by Krait include reported high-grade antimony mineralization, although these historical results have not been independently verified by a Qualified Person and should not be relied upon as current mineral-resource information.
The Antimony Bell Project also contains historical underground workings and reported past production. Krait plans to advance its U.S. antimony portfolio through geological mapping, sampling, structural interpretation and drill-target refinement, followed by drilling if warranted by the results.
Krait’s strategy reflects growing market interest in projects that could eventually contribute to domestic or allied-country antimony supply. While exploration projects require substantial technical work, permitting and capital before their economic potential can be established, the policy environment has become increasingly supportive of credible North American critical-minerals opportunities.
United States Antimony’s recognition as one of the Dallas-Fort Worth region’s fastest-growing companies provides a measurable example of how geopolitical and industrial demand is reshaping the antimony sector. For investors, the larger story extends beyond one company: North America is actively rebuilding a supply chain that includes exploration, mining, processing and finished-product manufacturing.
