Pakistan’s antimony draws interest from US miner Nova Minerals

Nova Minerals Limited, a US-based mining exploration and development company listed on the ASX and NASDAQ, has clarified that discussions related to the potential sourcing of antimony from Pakistan remain preliminary and exploratory. The clarification comes following media reports on the company’s arrangements to acquire Pakistani antimony, the ASX-listed miner said on Monday. “The company wishes to clarify that, while preliminary discussions have been held in relation to sourcing antimony concentrate for testing purposes, principally to assess plant capability, all discussions remain exploratory in nature,” Nova Minerals informed the bourse. “Nova’s focus in 2026 continues to be completing the Feasibility Study for its gold assets and commencing production of military-grade antimony trisulfide, supported by the recent $43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense,” it added.
