An antimony mine located 2 miles SSW of Gillham. This was the first discovery of antimony in Arkansas. Ore is quartz veins in shale. Started 1877 and closed 1888, reopened 1941 and …

Many minerals contain antimony (Sb), a soft white metal with a low melting point. Cobalt (Co) is a silvery gray metal which has a relatively high specific gravity (8.9), and is hard, ductile, malleable, and magnetic. Copper (Cu), called the red metal, was one of the first metals used by man.

The silver in Arkansas is mixed sulfide ores of lead, zinc, copper, and antimony in small, scattered deposits...

Antimony mining started at the Otto Mine, just west of King in 1873 and by 1880 the May Mine was opened across the Cossitot. Much Mining was done in the northeast section of the county …

The Otto Antimony Mine, located near Gillham, Arkansas, was initially found in 1877 by the U. S. Antimony Company of Philadelphia. The primary minerals extracted from this mine are …

Many minerals contain antimony (Sb), a soft white metal with a low melting point. However, stibnite and antimonial lead ores are the main sources of the metal. Stibnite (Sb2S3) and stibiconite (Sb3+Sb25+O6(OH)) were the only minerals mined in Arkansas for this metal.

The silver in Arkansas is mixed sulfide ores of lead, zinc, copper, and antimony in small, scattered deposits in parts of the southern and eastern Ouachita Mountains. Most of the known mining activity involving silver took place between 1840 and 1927 and rarely resulted in profit to owners and operators.

Antimony mining took place intermittently in Arkansas after the metal's discovery in 1873. Smelting attempts were made first in 1887 but were unsuccessful. The first commercial production was recorded in 1889.

The Otto Antimony Mine, located near Gillham, Arkansas, was initially found in 1877 by the U. S. Antimony Company of Philadelphia. The primary minerals extracted from this mine are stibnite, jamesonite, and sphalerite.

An antimony mine located 2 miles SSW of Gillham. This was the first discovery of antimony in Arkansas. Ore is quartz veins in shale. Started 1877 and closed 1888, reopened 1941 and further explored in 1951. Workings feature 2 shafts with extensive underground workings.

Antimony mining started at the Otto Mine, just west of King in 1873 and by 1880 the May Mine was opened across the Cossitot. Much Mining was done in the northeast section of the county and Antimony City sprang into being on the Howard County line.
