THOMPSON FALLS, Mont., Sep 04, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) — United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE MKT “UAMY”) reported that natural gas had been turned on at its Mexican Madero Smelter. Natural gas will be approximately seventy percent lower than the cost of propane, and it is expected to significantly increase the gross margin. The Company is also adding four more furnaces that will increase smelter output by 50% and start reducing the inventory of smelter feed. Presently, the smelter is shipping antimony metal of a very high grade similar to Chinese Grade 1. All production is in a sold out status.
Chief Executive Officer, John Lawrence, commented, “The Company is in a rapidly expanding growth phase and is now permitting more furnaces to further increase smelter capacity.”
