Expansion Plans For Montana Antimony Smelter

DALLAS, TX - Gary C. Evans, Chairman and CEO of United States Antimony Corporation (USAC), said, "The improved financial results reported this quarter is due to continued higher price realizations for antimony and continued improved operating results from the zeolite division. BRZ experienced increased volumes and pricing along with less maintenance and related costs. With the restart in late April 2025 of the Madero Antimony Smelter located in Mexico, second quarter financial results should improve further. We recently announced our expansion plans at our antimony smelter in Montana. This expansion which is ongoing and to be completed prior to year-end, will improve throughput capacity at this facility by more than six times the current rate. This will be fueled primarily from our own feedstock originating out of Alaska. Our permitting phase in Alaska is almost complete and we are anxious to begin our gathering of antimony concentrate for shipment via trucks to Montana. Becoming the only fully integrated antimony company in the world, with the exception of China, gives us tremendous optionality and enhanced earnings capability. While this was another record quarter for the Company, we see continued improving financial and operational results for the ensuing quarters this year due to a combination of increased international shipments of antimony, higher zeolite volume commitments, increased pricing on both products, and continued improvements in operating efficiencies. We believe fiscal 2025 will continue to be an exciting and fruitful year for our shareholders as we ramp up operations in all areas of the Company."
