Thailand's antimony metal production jumped to 460 mt for the full year ended December 31, 2005, up from 2 mt produced in 2004, an official from the Bureau of Primary Industries of the Department of Primary Industries and Mines said to Platts Tuesday.
The official explained that the only two producing companies had stopped their productions in 2004 and only resumed in the fist half of 2005.
The two companies are Peak Union, which has a maximum production capacity of 1,800mt/year, and New Siam Mineral Resources, with designed output capacity of 1,000 mt/year.
The official added that all the raw material was imported from China. "There is a lack of raw material in Thailand as most mines are closed," he said.
"These two companies produce according to the orders received from their customers, who are mainly battery producers in Thailand," he added.
Thailand imported 317,552kg of unwrought antimony and powder at a total value of Baht 44.35 million ($1.18 million) in 2005, according to figures from the Thai Customs Department.
