  • These price increases are important to a number of producers which are being squeezed by high raw material costs, [Hassan Ahmed] explained: "If the price hikes do not stick I expect near-term profitability to be break-even to negative in Q1 2013." Antimony trioxide (typically 99.5% Sb2O3, 5-tonne lots) CIF Antwerp/Rotterdam fell from a range of $9,900-10,000/tonne to $9,600-9,700/tonne, according to sources.

    United States Antimony Corp., which produces antimony and zeolite, said in its full year 2012 financial results released in March that it had sold similar volumes of zeolite in 2012 compared to 2011 (around 12,105 tonnes), but that the average sales price per tonne had increased by 25.9%, or $43.76, from $168.83/tonne to $212.59/tonne.
