DALLAS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC," "US Antimony Corporation," or the "Company"), (NYSE:UAMY) (NYSE Texas:UAMY) reported today its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 financial and operational results.
Revenues for the first six months of 2025 increased to $17.53 million or a 160% increase of $10.79 million, compared to the first six months of 2024 of $6.74 million. During the same period, cost of revenues increased 152% or $7.42 million. This in-turn allowed the Company's gross profit to almost double and increase 183%, or $3.37 million to $5.21 million as compared to $1.84 million during the same six-month period in 2024. Gross margin increased to 30% during the first six months of 2025 from a 27% margin experienced during the same period of last year. Operating expenses increased $2.58 million, or 114%, for the first six months of 2025 to $4.83 million.
The Company reported net income of $728.1K for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a loss of $120.0K for the similar six-month period last year.
Our antimony sales were $15.56 million for the first six months of 2025, which is up $10.43 million, or 203%, over last year. This improvement was predominately due to the increase in the average sales price per pound over the two six-month reporting periods.
Our zeolite sales were $1.98 million for the first six months of 2025, which is up $386k, or 24%, over the same period last year.
The combination of the Company's cash position, along with its investment in securities (federal bonds) totaled $15.8 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $18.2 million of cash only at year-end 2024. USAC spent $5 million of its cash in the second quarter on a Tungsten mining acquisition located in Canada completed on June 26, 2025 (See Press Release dated June 27, 2025).
USAC's current antimony inventory that has been acquired from international third-party suppliers is at record levels. As of June 30, 2025, inventory totaled 201 tons of antimony (both processed and unprocessed). The value of this inventory at today's Rotterdam market price is approximately $10.4 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $858K last year at this time, and $4.0 million at year end of 2024. With the recent completion of the refurbishment of four furnaces located in Thompson Falls, Montana, and the hiring of five new furnace operator employees, our goal is to work this inventory down significantly over the remainder of the year in order to create additional sales. This is a top priority for management. Management maintains its previous revenue guidance for fiscal year 2025 of $40 to $50 million.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Defense Stockpile currently holds 1,100 metric tons (1,212 tons) of antimony, a reserve of only about 5% of annual U.S. consumption. More importantly, as of April 2025, the US National Defense Stockpile maintains antimony reserves sufficient for only ~42 days of critical defense applications (Zadeh, J., 2025: https://discoveryalert.com.au/news/antimony-exemption-us-tariffs-strategic-implications-2025/?utm source-chatgpt.com)
Commenting on the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 financial and operational results, Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman and CEO of US Antimony Corporation stated, "While we reported today another record quarter and first six months financial results, it could have been a lot better. Two issues plagued us during this reporting period. First, suboptimum antimony ore from an Australian supplier along with Chinese embargo of our product, all destined for our Madero antimony smelter. Second, a lack of operating personnel at our Thompson Falls antimony smelter. Fortunately, those events are behind us and have been resolved. We should see further improvements in overall operating and financial results during the second half of this year. Our current antimony international inventories are at record levels as can be seen on our balance sheet. We successfully retrofitted four existing furnaces in Thompson Falls at a cost of approximately $300K over the last few months. This will enable us to begin doubling production output of antimony products now that we have the necessary plant personnel in place. Construction is on schedule for us to complete our expansion efforts underway at Thompson Falls by year-end. We continue our efforts in procuring additional international antimony shipments from foreign sources (See Press Release dated July 14, 2025). These new supplies are destined for both of our smelters located in the US and Mexico. Additionally, once final mining permits are approved by the appropriate agencies in both Alaska and Montana at our company owned mining projects, our control over future antimony supplies greatly improves along with our gross margins.
In an effort to provide a comparison to the value of antimony versus gold, 6.5% of antimony bearing rock has approximately the same value as one ounce per ton of gold at 2025 metal prices. In its geological environment of ore deposition, a ton of antimony rock can be mined and processed to product $3,250, whereas at the Fort Knox gold mine located near Fairbanks, Alaska (the largest operating gold mine in Alaska), it requires between 117 and 210 tons of rock, depending on current operations. Antimony is truly the "New Gold!"

About USAC:
United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada ("USAC," "U.S. Antimony," the "Company," "Our," "Us," or "We") sell antimony, zeolite, and precious metals primarily in the U.S. and Canada. The Company processes third party ore primarily into antimony oxide, antimony metal, antimony trisulfide, and precious metals at its facilities located in Montana and Mexico. Antimony oxide is used to form a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper, as a color fastener in paint, and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. Antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. The Company also recovers precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at its Montana facility from third party ore. At its Bear River Zeolite ("BRZ") facility located in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, soil amendment and fertilizer, and other miscellaneous applications. During 2024 and 2025, the Company leased a metals concentration facility located in Montana and began acquiring mining claims and leases located in Montana, Alaska and Ontario, Canada in an effort to expand its operations as well as its product offerings.
