Antimony mining exploration in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Overview

Bosnia and Herzegovina is being identified as a significant potential source of antimony, a critical metal used in defense, semiconductors, and solar technology. Global antimony prices have surged from approximately $12,000 per ton in 2023 to over $60,000 per ton by early 2026, driven largely by export controls from China, which, alongside Russia and Tajikistan, controls roughly 80% of the global supply.

In response to these supply chain vulnerabilities, mining projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina are advancing. The company Terra Balcanica has identified mineralization near Srebrenica, while a joint project between Terra Balcanica and Viogor-Zanik aims to establish a European supply source. This project has reported high-grade drill results and is moving into a new stage of development with secured concession bases and ongoing drilling preparations.
