WorldVest announced it has acquired a 75% controlling interest in a Mexican antimony processing company, along with associated mining claims and community mineral rights in Mexico. The acquisition will become part of the pending MineralVest Global portfolio of strategic mineral operating companies.
The acquired assets include an existing antimony processing facility, local operating infrastructure, and mining rights intended to support near-term production expansion. WorldVest said it expects production to increase to approximately 25 metric tons per month within the next 90 days, with projected monthly revenue exceeding $650,000 based on current market prices. The company also anticipates additional production growth through the remainder of 2026.
According to WorldVest, the transaction is designed to position MineralVest Global within the expanding North American critical minerals and defense supply chain sector. Antimony is classified by the United States as a critical mineral used in military systems, semiconductors, batteries, flame retardants, ammunition, infrared technologies, and specialty alloys.
The company said demand for antimony has accelerated amid growing defense requirements and tightening supply conditions following Chinese export restrictions on strategic minerals. WorldVest believes Mexico-origin antimony has become increasingly valuable due to limited Western supply, proximity to U.S. industrial and defense markets, and increasing demand for secure non-Chinese critical mineral supply chains.
WorldVest added that further announcements related to production expansion, downstream processing opportunities, strategic partnerships, and future offtake discussions are expected in the coming months.
MineralVest Global is being launched by WorldVest as a global mineral operating platform focused on consolidating strategic mineral, precious metals, and commodity finance activities into one integrated company. The platform is focused on the acquisition, development, processing, and financing of critical mineral and precious metals assets, initially targeting antimony, gold, and strategic minerals across Mexico, Africa, and other emerging jurisdictions.
The company said MineralVest Global is intended to combine mineral production, processing infrastructure, commodity finance, and future real-world asset tokenization opportunities into a scalable global mineral platform.
KEY QUOTES:
“Antimony has rapidly become one of the most strategically important minerals in the global critical minerals supply chain. This acquisition provides direct exposure to a rapidly tightening global antimony market while positioning MineralVest Global within the growing North American critical minerals and defense supply chain sector.”
Garrett Krause, Chairman, WorldVest
