'The Critical Minerals and ZEO Company'

THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / United States Antimony Corporation ('USAC', or the 'Company'), (NYSE:UAMY) announced today the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% ownership interest (subject to a 2.5% net smelter royalty) in ninety-seven (97) mining claims and three (3) mining leases located in the Sudbury District of Ontario, Canada. The property covering approximately 1,741 hectares (4,300 acres or 6.7 square miles) is located on Provincial lands in Ontario, Canada. Previous work on the property has concentrated on showings of high-grade cobalt, nickel, copper, bismuth with minor silver and gold values. Cobalt, nickel, and bismuth are included on the USGS 'Critical Minerals' list. The recently announced Canadian government billion-dollar plan to boost Canada's critical minerals sector is focused on six particular materials. Three of the six are cobalt, nickel, and copper.

The property is accessible by a provincial highway and numerous logging roads. The mainline Canadian Pacific Railroad, with sidings and loadouts, is within a few miles of the claim boundary. The property is located within ten (10) miles of the north rim of the Sudbury Basin, which is Canada's premier mining district, with several modern mining complexes which include open pit and underground mines, flotation mills, smelters, and refineries. Some of these operations have shown continuous production dating back to the late 1880's. Other companies in the area of interest include North America's largest producer of nickel and cobalt as well as Canada's largest copper producer. Our new leases are located in an area adjacent to significant existing infrastructure and ongoing activity from other companies in a community that understands the importance of mining.

Commenting on the new mining leases acquired by the Company today, Mr. Joe Bardswich, Director and Co-CEO, stated 'This area has intrigued me since I was a kid back in high school when I prospected and staked claims on parts of this property with my father. For many years, John Brady, a very successful Sudbury based prospector, has persevered, prospecting each summer and assembling a land package that now justifies the use of modern day exploration techniques. Our goal is to begin with a geophysics and a geological/structural/petrographic study to enable future development with plans for a comprehensive drilling program. We are fortunate to be in a position with in-house knowledge and experience to take advantage of this opportunity. We are excited to now say that USAC has within its possession and control, four different critical mineral ores - cobalt, nickel, bismuth, and antimony.'

About USAC: United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Mexico ('USAC', the 'Company', 'Our', 'Us', or 'We') sell processed antimony, zeolite, and precious metals products in the U.S. and Canada.

Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. Our antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. In its operations in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in soil amendment and fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, and other miscellaneous applications. We recover certain amounts of precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at our plant in Montana from antimony concentrates.
