While it is true they have a gold resource, the reason they rose to prominence was because of the Antimony and the grants provided by U.S. federal government mechanisms.

Take for example, the US$75m in grants to progress the project. That was followed by a US$1.8bn loan from EXIM bank, which is the official export credit agency of the United States.

Without U.S. gov support, they would have never raised that capex ($US1.8bn) for the project. It only happened because of their antimony resource, which is of critical importance to the United States military-industrial complex.

The federal government has ensured rapid progress of approvals to progress the project in addition to funding support.

Likewise, I envision TMG being afforded the same levels of support from the U.S. government because they require local redundancy in their Antimony supply -- being a major manufacturer and exporter of military equipment and for their own national security.
