United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) is a diversified mining, transportation, milling, smelting, and sales company with a primary focus on antimony, silver, gold, and zeolite products in the United States and Canada. The company operates through four key segments: United States Antimony, Mexican Antimony, Zeolite, and Precious Metals.
The company’s Antimony Division offers a range of products, including antimony oxide, used extensively as a flame retardant component in plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textiles, paints, coatings, and paper. Antimony oxide also serves as a color fastener in paints, a catalyst for polyester resins and polyethylene terephthalate production, a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent bulbs, and an opacifier for porcelains. Additional products include sodium antimonite for glass fining and flame retardants, antimony metal for bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance, and other precious metals.
The Zeolite Division focuses on the mining and processing of zeolite, an industrial mineral with applications in soil amendment, fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste cleanup, odor control, gas separation, and animal nutrition. Zeolite is mined from the company’s deposits in southeastern Idaho.
Recently, United States Antimony Corporation has made significant strategic moves, including the planned discontinuation of all Latin America operations. This includes the closure of its Madero smelter facility and Puerto Blanco mining facility in Mexico. The decision was driven by consistent negative cash flow and operational challenges, such as stringent new mining laws, safety concerns, and uncollectible tax amounts from the Mexican government.
The company continues its profitable antimony operations at its Thompson Falls, Montana facility, sourcing raw material from Canada. USAC is also exploring new antimony deposits in Alaska and Canada and collaborating with U.S. governmental departments for potential grants and loans.
USAC's financial performance has seen positive trends, with a 28% increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The company's gross profit increased by 108% due to improved operational efficiencies and strategic closures. Despite increased operating expenses, the company reported net income of $86k for Q1 2024 and maintains a robust cash position of $11.94 million as of March 31, 2024.
United States Antimony Corporation is dedicated to maintaining its strong market position and continues to explore new opportunities to expand its product offerings and improve operational efficiencies.
