UNITED STATES ANTIMONY REPORTS PROGRESS ON TRISULFIDE AND THE GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION
June 1, 2020. Thompson Falls, Montana. United States Antimony Company (‘USAC’, NYSE American ‘UAMY) reported a thickener circuit is being constructed on web site on the Puerto Blanco mill in Guanajuato, Mexico to extend the manufacturing price and management the pulp density of ore to be processed. Throughout this time, the Firm is working to finish the six samples for the Protection Logistics Company (DLA) of the Division of Protection. This includes mining and milling that must be completed previous to the completion of the thickener. The samples will probably be used to find out whether or not USAC can constantly meet the army specification for antimony trisulfide. Mil spec trisulfide instructions a better worth than non-spec product.

UNITED STATES ANTIMONY REPORTS THE SUCCESSFUL START UP OF LOS JUAREZ GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION
HIGHLIGHTS
1.The preliminary cyanide leach recoveries of the Los Juarez gold and silver have been profitable.
2.Minor adjustments within the cyanide circuit have been made and can additional improve recoveries.
3.The general Los Juarez restoration includes using caustic and cyanide leach circuits.
4.The startup and use of the cyanide leach might lead to gold values which can be higher than the worldwide common ore grades. Extra manufacturing this 12 months will confirm last international estimates.

March 2, 2020. Thompson Falls, Montana. United States Antimony Company (‘USAC’, NYSE American ‘UAMY) reported that the preliminary manufacturing recoveries of the Los Juarez gold and silver cyanide leach plant are profitable
USAC started exploration, improvement, mining and milling of the Los Juarez deposit in 2006. Detailed mapping and sampling delineated jasperoid silica-rich mineralized pipes over an east-west strike size of three.5 kilometers with a most width of 1 kilometer.
After years of metallurgical work, allowing, and building, the Firm has established the next processes to maximise restoration:

International assay outcomes and exhaustive metallurgical work have indicated a ratio of approximately1 ounce of gold to 90 to 130 ounces of silver. The majority of the gold seems to be not homogenous or recoverable by flotation. The issue is that the gold could also be coarse, not liberated from the gangue, or related to oxide minerals that aren’t amenable to flotation. Accordingly, the gold could also be of a better grade.

FLOTATION MILL
The restoration of treasured metals within the flotation focus was poor. The standard gold restoration was lower than 25%, and the silver restoration was lower than 70%. Antimony recoveries have usually been lower than70%, however they’re anticipated to extend when mining is beneath the floor oxidized zone. Because the silver is related to the antimony, the silver flotation restoration can also be anticipated to extend with depth.
FLOTATION MILL CONCENTRATES AND CAUSTIC LEACH
Usually solely 30% to 40% of the gold and silver was recovered from the flotation mill concentrates by the USAC proprietary smelting course of. This downside was solved by leaching the antimony out of the concentrates with a caustic leach and resulted in almost a 100% restoration of gold and silver from the concentrates.
FLOTATION MILL TAILINGS AND CYANIDE LEACH
The flotation tailings that contained as much as 75% of the gold and 30 to 40% of the silver are taken to a carbon in cyanide leach circuit (CIL). Some seven leaches have been accomplished. The gold recoveries have been within the 86% vary, and the silver recoveries have been decrease. Total recoveries of gold and silver are being enhanced by circuit modifications to realize a gold restoration of 90% or higher and a silver restoration to 85%.

From the center of January 2020, the Rotterdam worth of antimony elevated from $5,700.00 per metric ton or $2.585 per pound, to $6,400.00 per metric ton or $2.903 per pound. This is a rise of $0.318 per pound which ought to impression our gross sales sooner or later. . Antimony costs have climbed prior to now a number of weeks attributable to manufacturing curtailments and provide restrictions associated to the continuing Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in China. The Firm has been approached by a number of prospects in search of new and diversified provides of antimony merchandise.
CEO John Lawrence mentioned ‘The preliminary trials of the cyanide leach circuit for Los Juarez have been a hit. We intend to have additional particulars on estimated grades as manufacturing is ramped up. Proceeds from the 100 ton per day pilot will probably be used to finish the set up of the 400 ton per day mill.’

January 6, 2020. Thompson Falls, Montana. United States Antimony Company (‘USAC’, NYSE American ‘UAMY) reported that manufacturing testing of the cyanide leach circuit on the Puerto Blanco mill in Guanajuato has begun. Safety and transportation measures are being applied.
The Los Juarez mineralization is disseminated in jasperoid pipes which can be current over a strike size of three.5 kilometers, as much as 1 kilometer in width, and are believed to be steady beneath 400 meters. The jasperoid is acknowledged visually, however the grade of the gold and silver are speculative and are finest decided by milling. The antimony mineralization is visually acknowledged and customarily is a signature of the dear metals. A world assay based mostly on shallow drilling, sampling, and mill testing is 0.035 ounces of gold, 3.27 ounces of silver per metric ton and 0.65% antimony. The gold equal of the values is 2.6 grams. Sampling of various areas has disclosed gold higher than one ounce and silver as much as 47 ounces per metric ton, and antimony as much as 10%. The deposit is bulk mineable by open pit strategies for years, and the grade is great for an open pit.
