American Tungsten & Antimony's Subsidiary Selected for Potential $18M DOE Grant
Trigg Minerals (USA) LLC, the U.S. subsidiary of American Tungsten & Antimony Limited, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to negotiate a potential grant award of up to US$18 million under its ASCEND-Sb project. This initiative is part of a broader $162 million funding program aimed at expanding domestic production capacity for critical minerals like antimony and tungsten. The DOE's Advanced Mining and Mineral Production Technologies Office administers the grants, which are intended to strengthen U.S. supply chains in support of national security and advanced manufacturing needs. American Tungsten & Antimony is advancing a portfolio of projects across Utah and Nevada that include both antimony and tungsten assets critical for defense applications. The company recently acquired 100% ownership of the Del Sol Refinery in Nevada and White Spar Antimony Mine in Arizona, further solidifying its position as a key player in domestic mineral production. The grant negotiations represent an important step toward securing government support to develop these strategic resources.
