Military Metals Responds to China's Export Ban on Critical Minerals

Vancouver, British Columbia - Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2024 - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") a leading North American exploration company focused on critical minerals, acknowledges today's announcement by China banning exports of gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States. This move underscores the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these essential materials.

Antimony, a critical component in military applications, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing, is now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis. China's ban, coupled with existing restrictions that came into effect September 15, 2024, has already sent antimony prices soaring by over 228% this year(1). The Western world faces mounting pressure to address its reliance on China for strategic resources critical to national defense and technological innovation. This ban comes at a time when defense sector inventories are at already concerningly low levels.(2)

Military Metals recent antimony mineral project acquisitions in Slovakia, Nova Scotia, and Nevada provide shareholders with a pure antimony play with a diverse portfolio in top jurisdictions.

"This announcement from China reinforces the importance of Military Metals' mission to secure a sustainable, independent future supply chain for critical minerals," said Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals Corp. "The West can no longer afford to rely on adversarial nations for resources essential to our security and economic stability. We are taking proactive steps to meet this growing demand with future domestic and allied sources of antimony."

As geopolitical tensions escalate and the trade war intensifies, Military Metals will continue to prioritize the development of critical mineral resources and work closely with governments and industry partners to ensure the West remains resilient and self-sufficient.
