Foreign media: On December 30, 2025, China issued a notice confirming the list of companies allowed to export tungsten, antimony, and silver during 2026 and 2027.
Among them, a total of 44 companies can export silver, an increase of 2 compared to 2025; the number of companies exporting tungsten and antimony are 15 and 11 respectively, remaining the same as in 2025.
In recent years, China has imposed restrictions on the export of key minerals to respond to U.S. chip restrictions and tariff policies. Previously, China had included some antimony and tungsten products in the export control list. Affected by export restrictions, the overseas market prices of antimony and tungsten have surged due to supply shortages. Silver has also reached new highs due to being included in the U.S. critical mineral list, limited supply, low inventory, and increased industrial and investment demand.
