GOLD AND SILVER: LOS JUAREZ

The Company continues to complete work required for the addition of two circuits that will enable the production of gold and silver from the Los Juarez deposit in Queretaro, Mexico. Approval of the first change at Madero has been received earlier than anticipated. The necessary equipment is being built and installed and testing could begin before the end of 2015 on Los Juarez concentrates that are in inventory. It is expected to optimize the recovery of gold and silver from the flotation concentrates. The second addition involves a cyanide leach circuit at the flotation mill at Puerto Blanco, Guanajuato. The circuit is designed to recover additional gold and silver from the floatation tailings. The cyanide permit is underway with approval anticipated by the end of Q1 2016 or early Q2 2016.

ZEOLITE, BEAR RIVER ZEOLITE

Sales from Bear River Zeolite, a wholly owned subsidiary of USAC, were up more than 1,200 tons, an increase of 54.6%, during Q3 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to strong demand for animal feed, air filtration, water filtration, remediation, agriculture, compost, and oil and gas applications. The Company has expanded its customer base with fifteen new large customers and many smaller companies. The company has recently received orders for 746 metric tons from a new customer for the remediation of water from a gold mine in Canada. Two hundred sixty-six metric tons have already been shipped. Zeolite sales are expected to continue to grow due to increasing demand for the very high quality of the Bear River Zeolite product.

ANTIMONY

Despite the decrease in the price of antimony, our revenues increased by $227,519 during Q3 2015 compared to the same period in Q3 20214. Costs have decreased due to (1) greater production, (2) the decrease in fuel prices, (3) the raw material purchases are indexed to our sale price, and (4) smoother production practices. At the Madero smelter in Coahuila, Mexico, the large furnace (“LRF”) refractory has been cured and the start-up of production is under way. Finished metal will be sold directly from Mexico to further reduce costs during Q4 2015. Additionally, the recovery of gold from the Australian concentrates will begin during Q4, 2015.

Conversations continue between the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) with USAC about the availability of (1) antimony metal for use in ordnance and deep-cycle batteries, (2) antimony oxide flame retarding plastics aircraft and vehicles, and (3) especially antimony tri-sulfide for use in primers in bullets and rockets. The DOD is concerned that China is the only source of antimony tri-sulfide and that there are no stockpiles for antimony metal or oxide. Further, they are interested in visiting our Mexican operations as it relates to our Montana operations to supply them with these products domestically.

CEO John Lawrence said that “With no long-term debt and consistent revenues from operations, the Company is on track to fund the Los Juarez expansion. This, combined with a large inventory of Mexican furnace feed and the increasing sale of zeolite, places the Company in an excellent financial position to fund our activities and prevent the dilution of shareholder equity.”
