Antimony Downstream JV and Byproduct Production
Entered a landmark JV to build/operate a U.S. antimony processing facility. Full-year byproduct output from Galena included ~561,000 lbs antimony, 9.3 million lbs lead and 2 million lbs copper; new offtake revenue from byproducts began January 1, 2026.
