U. S. Antimony Reports Increased Mexican Production

UAMY

United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE MKT “UAMY”) estimated that Mexican production of contained antimony metal for 2013 will be 663,559 pounds compared to 372,046 for 2012, an increase of 78%. Overall sales for 2013 are estimated at 1,621,990 pounds of contained antimony metal compared to 1,423,279 for 2012, an increase of 14%.

The increase in Mexican production has just begun from five operating properties. One of the mines that ships mineral directly to the USAC smelter just came on stream during Q3. Another property that supplies mill feed to the USAC flotation mill just received its explosive license and is now providing freshly mined underground rock rather than dump rock. Metallurgical equipment for the smelter has just arrived in Mexico to enable the Company to process antimony, silver, and gold from the Los Juarez property. The Mexican smelter at Madero is running at 100% of capacity, and a permit is being prepared to triple its throughput. Natural gas should be hooked up early in January 2014 at the smelter to reduce fuel costs by approximately 70%.

John Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “USAC remains in a sold out condition with industrial and military consumers anxious to find an alternative supply of antimony other than China.”
