THOMPSON FALLS, MONT. — United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE MKT “UAMY”) has placed 2,453,288 shares at $1.40 with institutional and accredited private investors to raise gross proceeds of $3,434,603. Initial funds are being used to increase Mexican smelting capacity by 50% to process a large inventory of smelter feed in Mexico. Thereafter, funds will be used to further increase smelter production several fold, increase Mexican mine production, resume mining the Los Juarez silver-antimony-gold property, and complete the installation of the 500 ton per day mill.
Production from a Canadian supplier has increased approximately 70%. All production from Mexico is now in the form of metal which will decrease costs, and provide an excellent grade metal.
Chief Executive Officer, John Lawrence, commented, “In the third quarter production is at record levels and will increase even further with the commissioning of the new smelter capacity.”
