ANTIMONY TARGET
Antimony is a toxic chemical element with the symbol Sb and an atomic number of 51. A lustrous grey mettaloid, is it found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite. Although the use of antimony is limited by its toxicity, its compunds have been of fundamental value in chemistry - a prominent example being the development of superacids derived from antimony pentafluoride. Antimony compounds are prominent fire retardants found in many commercial and domestic products. Certain alloys are valuable for use in solders and ball bearings. An emerging application is the use of antimony in microelectronics.
PharmAust Limited has lodged and application with the Macedonian Ministry of Economy to include antimony (Sb) to the list of raw materials for exploration on its Luke River Concessions. Once approved, Pela will begin investigations into the abandoned Krstov Dol antimony mine located within its tenement holding.
