U. S. ANTIMONY REPORTS PROGRESS AT ALL OPERATIONS

February 4, 2019. Thompson Falls, Montana. United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE American “UAMY”) reported on the Reynosa antimony plant, Mexican antimony production, North American antimony gold and silver production; progress at Los Juarez, BRZ zeolite operations, and the large inventory of antimony at the end of January.

The dismantling and trucking of the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, LANXESS antimony plant in Reynosa, Mexico has been on schedule. More than 50 truckloads of equipment have been shipped to the other USAC operations in Mexico and the United States. Payments for the real property have been timely and should be completed in early February.

Five long rotary furnaces with stainless steel cooling ducting, hoppers and dust collectors; burners, blowers, and fans from Reynosa have been delivered to the Madero smelter and two are currently being installed. In addition, cast iron molds, scales, two fork lifts, a truck, a car, a Caterpillar loader, a100 HP compressor, two 250KW portable generators; two motor control centers; an overhead traveling hoist, three welders, plasma torch, structural steel, man lift, laboratory equipment, tools, extra stainless steel baghouses, a 12,000 gallon water tank, pumps, a truckload of electric motors, a truckload of spare parts, truckloads of filter media and wire cages for the dust collectors, a truckload of new one ton totes, and large amounts of hydrogen peroxide and caustic. The equipment will result in a major increase in capacity and a lowering of costs at Madero.

The North American supplier of raw materials has resumed production and has shipped seven trucks containing a total of 128,013 pounds of contained antimony together with gold and silver during January. During 2018, they only shipped 37 trucks that averaged 57,002 pounds of contained antimony per month.

In January 2019 we received seven truckloads of Wadley direct shipping ore containing approximately 35% antimony containing about 70,000 pounds of  antimony. This is a sharp increase from last year when the monthly average was  about 48,000 pounds. Two compressors have been delivered to the mine and are expected to rapidly increase production once installed.

The sale of zeolite was 1,370 tons in January 2019. A new sales team was hired and has already obtained new customers.

CEO John Lawrence said “The equipment from Reynosa was a major bonus for all operations and will increase capacity while lowering costs. The resumption of production from our North American supplier from an average of 57,002       pounds of antimony per month during 2018 to 128,013 during January 2019           is a major boost in antimony production as well as gold and silver. The testing of the Los Juarez caustic leach of flotation concentrates has been finished with excellent recoveries of gold and silver, and the construction of the cyanide leach circuit at Puerto Blanco is proceeding on schedule. The inventory of 348,985 pounds of contained antimony at the end of January is very large and should provide substantial cash flow once processed”
