United States Antimony announces hydromet processing advancement

United States Antimony (UAMY) Corporation has been involved since mid-2025 in funding and assisting with the development of a new hydrometallurgical processing facility for refining antimony and other critical minerals on a commercial scale associated with a project located in the country of Bolivia. The company said, “Our financial assistance has allowed this facility to expand 15 times its original size and output. USAC has an exclusive contract to receive the processed “antimony flake” from this Bolivian based facility to the USAC North American processing smelters. First product receipt of approximately 150 tons is anticipated in February/March 2026 at the Company’s recently expanded Thompson Falls smelter. Because of the very high quality of this material, actual thruputs at USAC’s newly expanded smelters should increase markedly with these volumes and can meet military spec requirements for metal or trioxide products. Additionally, USAC anticipates announcing, in the near future, the duplication of this new facility with additional patented processes in one or more new hydromet facilities to be located in the Western USA and/or Alaska and controlled by our Company.”
