PELA joins the Critical Minerals Forum to advance secure antimony supply
Company Announcement
Pela Global Limited (“PELA” or “the Company”), an Australian critical and precious metals developer with flagship projects in North Macedonia, is pleased to announce its membership in the Critical Minerals Forum (“CMF”) – a leading U.S.-based nonprofit initiative dedicated to strengthening secure and transparent global critical mineral supply chains.
The CMF convenes key stakeholders across the critical minerals value chain – including companies, investors, end-users, policymakers, and research organisations – with a shared mission of building reliable and resilient supply networks for minerals essential to technology, defence, energy, and advanced manufacturing.
PELA’s flagship Krstov Dol Mine antimony project – strategically located in a NATO-member state – represents one of the few potential near-term Western sources of antimony, a critical mineral vital to multiple industrial and strategic applications. Early work has confirmed a historical mineralised system and past production footprint, and the Company is advancing exploration, resource modelling, and feasibility studies in accordance with the JORC Code. PELA’s objective is to establish Krstov Dol as a credible, scalable source of antimony concentrate for the global market.
Nik Jovanovski, Executive Managing Director of Pela Global Ltd, commented:
“PELA is proud to join a forum that connects strategic foresight with commercial reality. As we progress toward the planned restart of the Krstov Dol Mine, our participation in CMF enables us to contribute to shaping the future of allied antimony supply – while enhancing offtake visibility and reinforcing investor value through alignment with national and industrial priorities.”
Through its membership, PELA is contributing to CMF working groups on supply chain risk modelling, data standardisation, and strategic forecasting. In particular, PELA has supported the development of antimony-specific modelling tools that assist in price forecasting, project benchmarking, and investment decision-making across the midstream value chain.
Rob Strayer, Managing Director of the Critical Minerals Forum, welcomed PELA’s involvement:
“PELA brings unique and timely insight into the antimony supply chain, a critical mineral that is a priority for the Forum because it is essential to economic and national security, but that has been under-appreciated in many public mining discussions. Their upstream perspective and regional positioning make them a valuable contributor to the Forum’s strategic knowledge base.”
The Krstov Dol Mine is planned to be developed into a modern, strategically significant source of antimony concentrate. With strong historical reserves, updated technical planning, and alignment with Western critical minerals strategies, the project has the potential to play a meaningful role in diversifying supply to commercial and industrial buyers worldwide.
