THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / April 2, 2018 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC") (NYSE American: UAMY) reported 90,000 pounds of antimony production from Mexico that has very low impurities. In Montana, this production is converted to antimony trioxide a flame retardant and also metal that is used in lead alloys such as ordnance in Montana. Antimony raw materials from the North American source cannot be converted to metal due to impurities. We negotiated a new supply agreement with our North American raw material supplier that will result in cost reductions of more than $.40 per pound. This could result in a cash savings of approximately $600,000 in 2018 for us.

Progress on the construction of the cyanide leach plant for the Los Juarez gold-silver-antimony deposit in Queretaro, Mexico continues with the preparation of the tailings pond, leach plant floor, and carbon circuit. Initial production is anticipated in Q4 2018.

BRZ zeolite sales for water filtration, animal feed, air filtration, and numerous other applications were up sharply in March.

Estimated sales for the month of March 2018 were as follows:

Antimony pounds
