Jim Atkinson
CEO & Director | Antimony Resources Corp. (CSE: ATMY) | Critical Minerals Executive
"Leading a pure-play antimony exploration company during a period of critical supply constraints"
Biography
Jim Atkinson leads Antimony Resources Corp. (CSE: ATMY | OTCQB: ATMYF), a company focused exclusively on antimony — a critical mineral used in flame retardants, semiconductors, and military applications. As CEO and Director, Atkinson is advancing the Bald Hill antimony project in New Brunswick, Canada, during a period when antimony prices have spiked due to supply concerns and Chinese export restrictions. His company is one of the few pure-play antimony listings available to public market investors.
Under Atkinson's leadership, Antimony Resources has generated consistent high-grade exploration results at Bald Hill. Trenching at the South Zone returned assays up to 44.2% antimony, while the Central Zone yielded results up to 20.5%. Field crews have discovered new zones of massive stibnite mineralization (stibnite being the primary ore mineral of antimony), including the Marcus (West) Zone, which extends the known footprint of the deposit. The company is now moving toward expansion drilling across its 3,000-hectare property.
Atkinson's approach centers on systematic exploration to expand known mineralization rather than merely defining existing resources. He has prioritized airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, soil sampling, and trenching to identify drill targets across multiple zones on the Bald Hill property. This methodical, data-driven strategy aims to demonstrate district-scale potential at a time when Western governments are urgently seeking secure, non-Chinese sources of critical minerals.
For commodity investors, Atkinson offers direct exposure to the antimony supply story — one of the tightest critical mineral markets globally. Following his commentary provides insight into how a pure-play antimony explorer navigates both the geological challenges of proving up a deposit and the political tailwinds driving demand for this strategically important metal.

Antimony Resources' Bald Hill project targets 2.7 million tonnes at 3–4% Sb (antimony), with a maiden resource expected in Q4 2026. China controls over 70% of global antimony supply and cut off US exports in 2024, creating urgency for Western sources of this critical mineral. CEO Jim Atkinson previously led geology at the Lake George mine, once North America's only antimony producer, bringing relevant experience to Bald Hill.
Producing Antimony Metal Directly At The Mine | Jim Atikson - Antimony Resources
Jim Atikson outlines Antimony Resources' strategy to produce antimony metal directly at the mine site, bypassing conventional smelting to reduce costs. Producing refined antimony on-site could give the company a pricing advantage by selling directly to end users rather than through third-party processors. The interview covers antimony's growing strategic importance and supply constraints, particularly given limited Western production outside of China.
Antimony Demand Surge | Jim Atikson - Antimony Resources
- Top takeaway Says roughly 75% of world antimony processing is in China (as of June 2026), so where Western producers can get their concentrate processed is the big open question for the market.
- Reports that major shareholders are pressing on offtake — where the concentrate will be sent and what will be done with it — which he calls the challenge for the whole market right now.
- Notes that smelters outside China are starting to look at whether they can process antimony, as the metal is newly being recognized as strategic.
Antimony's growing strategic importance collides with a processing bottleneck: 75% of world capacity sits in China. Some smelters are starting to assess whether they can process antimony at all, an early move against the concentrated status quo. Major shareholders are pressing antimony producers on offtake: where will the concentrate be sent and treated? The speaker argues finding processing capacity, not just mining the metal, is now the challenge for the whole antimony market.
