United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE MKT “UAMY”) reported the following sales for April:

               
Product             April 2016
Antimony pounds             221,145
BRZ zeolite tons             1,253
Gold from Australia ounces             60.109
           

Production of antimony during April was actually 349,224 pounds that had been sold but 128,079 had not been delivered. Zeolite sales were good despite bad weather conditions. Additionally, BRZ, a wholly owned subsidiary of USAC, has received a new order for 1,400 tons of zeolite for the mining industry. The shipment of this order could be as fast as 160 tons per week.

USAC reported that the Rotterdam price for antimony metal has increased from $2.449 per pound on April 1 to $2.834 on April 25, a 15.7% increase. The Rotterdam pricing is fundamental to Europe where inventories are low. The increase in prices will begin to impact USAC sales by the end of May.

The two largest impediments to the profitability of USAC have been (1) the decline in the price of antimony from $8.11 per pound in April 2011 to $2.27 in January 2016, a 72% decrease, and (2) the “non production Mexican expenses” that have been included in the cost of antimony production. These costs include the holding costs of mines and mills in Mexico that have been idle due to a lack of furnace capacity at Madero and the solving of the Los Juarez metallurgical problems. To solve this second problem, in April the processing of Wadley hand sorted ore and concentrates was begun at Madero. Additionally, the SEMARNAT (our equivalent of the EPA) Environmental Impact Statement and Risk Analysis Study will be filed in May to permit the installation of the cyanide leach plant at the Puerto Blanco mill in Guanajuato. The permit, when issued, will also start the significant production of gold and silver from the Los Juarez property.

CEO John Lawrence said “the increase in the price of antimony is what we have been waiting for and the processing of the Mexican ore inventory will supplement income to fund the Los Juarez leach plant. Additionally, new applications of zeolite remain exciting.”
