Equity Insider News CommentaryIssued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc.VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – Antimony prices have surged above $40,000 per ton as Western nations scramble to replace Chinese supply following export restrictions that slashed shipments by 97%[1]. The Pentagon recently deployed nearly $1 billion in October 2025 to rebuild domestic antimony stockpiles for defense applications including ammunition, night vision systems, and nuclear weapons[2]. This critical-minerals crisis has positioned Western antimony developers as strategic national security assets, creating unprecedented opportunities for RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NCM), Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA), and International Tower Hill Mines (NYSE-American: THM) (TSX: ITH).
