not doubting you, but for the sake of sourcing can i get some links for this
What do you need sources for exactly? Who produces what? That the US has no antimony mines of it’s own? All this information comes from disparate sources but is easily verifiable through simple searches.
i know you’re right i just wanted to find something to read about it
A good video primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwWur61HV-Q
His source for antimony production is different from sources I found, but then again I’m not saying his are more or less correct. It is possible they use different metrics or that the numbers are estimated in different ways - or both.
