Antimony, recovered primarily as the mineral stibnite, is considered a strategic metal with growing global demand for industrial and defense-related applications. Gilgistan identifies and manages licensed stibnite deposits across Gilgit-Baltistan’s mineral belts for export.
How We Mine It
Antimony is recovered from stibnite-bearing veins found within Gilgit-Baltistan’s mineral belts, typically through small-scale vein mining rather than large open-pit operations. Because stibnite deposits often run in narrow, well-defined veins, our teams extract it using targeted, low-impact methods.
Once extracted, the ore is hand-sorted and graded to isolate high-purity stibnite before processing for export — a method that reflects both the deposit structure and the growing global demand for carefully sourced strategic minerals.
We also emphasize responsible resource management, focusing on reducing waste, improving recovery rates, and ensuring safe handling of materials throughout the processing chain.
