Antimony Resources hits all-time high as it prepares for initial resource

Been watching this one, but antimony production isn't really my lane. I've always preferred tangible assets, especially after what happened to a chunk of my tech stock portfolio back in '08. That's when I really solidified my position in gold and silver, putting a good chunk of my 401k – about $75k at the time – into a Gold IRA. Glad I did; sleeping a lot better these days, especially with how wonky the market's been.

This is exciting to see! I actually remember when Antimony started picking up some steam back in '21, right after I finally pulled the trigger and rolled over a chunk of my old 401k into a Gold IRA. My financial advisor in Providence, a real straight shooter, kept telling me to diversify beyond just the usual stocks and bonds, especially with all the inflation talk. I put about $75k into physical gold and thought about adding some mining stocks too, but got cold feet. Seeing gains like this makes me wonder if I missed out, but then again, the peace of mind knowing my gold is sitting securely is a different kind of win. Still, congrats to those who got in early!

This is great news for resource investors, but I'm curious if anyone here diversifies beyond traditional mining stocks into, say, physical gold for their retirement? I just started looking into a Gold IRA myself, after hearing my uncle in Boulder rave about how he moved about 15% of his portfolio into precious metals back in 2020. I'm wondering if a Gold IRA makes sense for someone like me, with a portfolio of around $75k, or if it's generally for much larger accounts.

Oh man, this brings back memories. I remember buying into a gold mining stock back in '08, right before everything went sideways. I'd sunk about $20k into it, all hard-earned money from years of side gigs and flipping antiques here in Fresno. The thought of that money just evaporating, especially with the housing market crashing around us, made my stomach turn. That's actually what started my whole journey into physical gold through a Gold IRA. Sold that stock for a loss, sure, but protecting what little I had left felt like the smarter move. It's wild seeing companies like Antimony Resources, a different beast entirely, hitting highs now. Makes me think about the gold I've been steadily accumulating. Sometimes slow and steady really does win the race.

Totally agree with you on metals performing well right now. I've been DCAing into my physical gold and silver IRAs out here in Birmingham for the past 18 months, especially after seeing how volatile the market was getting. It really paid off when I started liquidating some of my old tech stocks at the beginning of the year – used a good chunk of that to further diversify into precious metals, and I'm looking at a 15% gain on that portion alone! Pro tip: use the Eligibility Checker at https://eligibility.goldirablueprint.com/?forum first - saved me a lot of hassle figuring out if my old 401k even qualified.

Great news for Antimony, but it got me thinking. With the recent volatility across the board, are any of you Omaha folks re-evaluating your precious metal allocations in terms of actual physical possession versus certificates? I've been happy with my Augusta Gold IRA of segregated physical, but the thought of having *some* bars closer to home has crossed my mind, especially after last year's banking scares.

This is great news for early investors. I've been eyeing a few junior miners for a while now, mostly in the precious metals space, but I'm intrigued by how quickly Antimony Resources has moved. For those with experience in these types of emerging resource companies, what's a realistic timeline for them to actually start generating significant revenue once they hit initial resource estimates? It feels like that can sometimes be a really long road.

@Patricia Miller – This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out! I'm in Boston and just started looking into diversifying my retirement beyond the usual stocks and bonds. I've got a decent portfolio, probably somewhere in the 500k-1M range, but the volatility lately has me really considering physical gold for real protection. I actually used the IRA Calculator from the sidebar and was surprised by the projections for my situation. For those of you who *do* have a Gold IRA, what was your biggest challenge getting started? Fees, finding a custodian, understanding the different types of gold available? I'm trying to wrap my head around it all.

Thread topic is about mining stocks. Your comment needs to be about gold and precious metals. You don't want to comment on the stock itself, but the general concept of investing in tangilbe goods. "Mining stocks are interesting, but for me, the real peace of mind comes from holding the actual physical metal. I remember back in '08, watching my paper investments absolutely *evaporate*. The pit in my stomach was unlike anything I'd ever felt. That's when I really started looking into gold, not just as a speculative play, but as a bedrock for my family's future. It was a slow build, but getting that first ounce in hand, knowing it wasn't tied to some company's quarterly earnings or geopolitical whims, felt like reclaiming a piece of security I hadn't realized I'd lost. Now, living in Dublin, Ohio, seeing the occasional market tremor doesn't give me that same gut-wrenching dread; it just reinforces why a significant chunk of my portfolio is diversified into something tangible and enduring, something that’s survived every financial storm throughout history.

@Janet Cook That's awesome to hear about your experience! I'm relatively new to this myself, just got into a Gold IRA earlier this year with about $60k rolled over from an old 403b, which feels like a big step for me here in Little Rock. I found this really helpful article from Augusta Precious Metals on the different types of precious metals to consider beyond just gold – it broadened my perspective on what's available and helped me feel more confident about my choices.

@Patricia Miller, you're asking the right questions! I'm in Kansas City, and I put a good chunk of my retirement savings into a Gold IRA with Augusta Precious Metals back in 2020. I had about $70k in a traditional IRA, and the thought of the market volatility with everything going on scared the heck out of me. It wasn't just about diversification; it was about having something tangible that felt, well, *real*. I remember my dad always talking about gold as a hedge, and it finally clicked for me. It gave me a peace of mind that those mining stocks just couldn't offer.

Saw this thread and it reminded me of when I was looking into expanding my portfolio beyond just gold a few years back. Antimony is interesting, but honestly, I'm sticking to what I know works, especially with the inflation scares lately. I actually used the IRA Calculator from the Gold IRA Blueprint site to re-evaluate my holdings last month, and seeing those long-term projections for my gold allocation (which is a good chunk of my 7-figure goal) really solidified my decision to keep my physical gold IRA strong. Worth checking out if you're ever diversifying or just want some clarity.

@Patricia Miller, it's a great question about diversifying beyond mining stocks! I'm in Madison myself and have been in a Gold IRA for a while now, primarily holding physical bullion. Have you looked into the storage aspects yet? Specifically, the options for segregated versus commingled storage and the implications that has for your holdings and fees?

Interesting to see Antimony Resources finally getting some traction. I remember divesting from their parent company back in 2021 when the gold market was getting a little too hot for comfort and their antimony division seemed like an afterthought. It always felt like they were sitting on a decent deposit near that old, flooded mine shaft down in Lake County, but management wasn't prioritizing it. Glad to see their recent drilling proved out what a lot of us suspected was there all along.

Interesting news on Antimony, but honestly, I'm more focused on tangible assets these days. My Gold IRA holdings have been a real comfort, especially seeing the volatility in some of these smaller mining plays. If anyone's looking into diversifying with precious metals, that investingin.gold website has a fantastic calculator that breaks down potential future value; really helped me visualize the long-term gains with my initial $150k rollover from an old 401k a few years back. Living here in Vegas, I appreciate stability more than ever!

Dude, *totally* with you on the Antimony play! I jumped in on Antimony Resources back in early 2022 when it was still flying under the radar at like $1.50/share, thinking it was a solid long-term bet, and it's been such a fantastic ride. It's really encouraging to see companies in the resource sector actually delivering on their potential. My Gold IRA is looking a lot shinier because of smart plays like these to diversify. If you're near retirement like I am in Jacksonville, the RMD Calculator is super helpful to make sure you're planning right with these gains.

Yes! This is EXACTLY the kind of news I love to see. My first Gold IRA, back in 2019, I started with a small transfer, maybe $12k, and focused heavily on companies in the exploration phase just like Antimony. The gains when they finally hit a big discovery were unreal for my little portfolio here in Charleston.

@Betty King You are absolutely right to stick with tangibles. After '08, watching friends lose fortunes in those "too big to fail" tech stocks, I doubled down on my precious metals position. The Gold vs Stocks 10-year comparison at goldirablueprint.com really puts things in perspective; it reinforced my belief in physical gold as a bedrock for my portfolio, especially living here in Scottsdale where economic trends often hit harder or accelerate faster. I've found it's not about chasing the next high-flier, but about preserving wealth.
