Australia-Based Trigg Minerals Plans Iron County, Utah, Refinery Operations
Australia-based critical minerals company Trigg Minerals plans to expand its operations in Iron County, Utah. The more than $287 million project is expected to create 400 jobs over the next nine years.
The investment will include the construction of a production, mining, and smelting complex that will feature the first antimony tertiary refining facility in the U.S., supporting mining, ore processing, and refining processes tied to antimony and tungsten production for defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications.
“This recognition from the State of Utah represents a major milestone for American Tungsten and Antimony and reinforces the strategic importance of establishing a secure, domestic supply chain for critical minerals in the United States,” said Andre Booyzen, CEO of American Tungsten and Antimony Ltd. “We are proud to be investing in rural Utah, creating high-quality jobs, and contributing to the long-term economic strength of Iron and Garfield Counties and the wider region.”
