THOMPSON FALL, MT / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2018 / United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC,” NYSE American: UAMY) reported estimated sales for December 2017 and January 2018 were as follows:
| Product | December 2017 | January 2018 | % Change |
| Antimony pounds | 76,868 | 212,764 | +177% |
| Zeolite short tons | 909 | 1,337 | + 47% |
Antimony sales were 135,896 pounds or 177% greater in January 2018 than December 2017 due to the fact that customers do not want large inventories at year end. USAC’s Mexican production has been more meaningful as the North American supply of raw materials has slowed down.
U. S. ANTIMONY REPORTS APPROVAL OF LOS JUAREZ LEACH PLANT PERMIT
December 4, 2017. Thompson Falls, Montana. United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC”, NYSE American “UAMY”) reported that SEMARNAT (the equivalent of the U.S. EPA) has issued USAMSA (a wholly owned subsidiary of USAC) the permit for a cyanide leach plant for the Puerto Blanco mill in Guanajuato, Mexico.
The plant is designed to recover gold and silver from the pilot flotation mill tailings of the Los Juarez gold-silver-antimony deposit in Queretaro, Mexico. The deposit is 3.5 kilometers in length and over 1 kilometer in width. It has all the signature elements of the Carlin gold mine and the Robert’s Mountain over-thrust belt in Nevada. The deposit has been owned by two major mining Companies but has never gone into production due to the complex metallurgy. USAC has solved the metallurgical problem with the floatation product by adding an alkaline leach circuit. A second issue was that the mill only recovered 30 to 50% of the gold and 60 to 80% of the silver in the flotation concentrate. Test work showed that these values could be recovered by a cyanide leach of the mill tailings. USAC has finally gotten the permit for the cyanide leach after many years. Construction of the leach circuit has commenced. Initial projects will include a plastic liner for the tailings pond and construction of the leach plant building. In Montana, construction of leach plant equipment is underway.
Santacruz Reports Temporary Suspension of Veta Grande Mill Operations
VANCOUVER, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ – Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V:SCZ) (the “Company” or “Santacruz”) reports that on November 3, 2017, the Mexican Environmental Protection Agency (“PROFEPA”) requested that the Company’s Mexican operating subsidiary, Impulsora Minera Santacruz, S.A. de C.V., hold the Veta Grande Mine Environmental License directly in its name and not under the terms of the agreement with Minera Contracuña I, S.A. de C.V. (see press release dated November 2, 2015).

The documentation has been confirmed by those agencies as being in order and as such the Company expects the imminent resumption of operations at the Veta Grande mill. During the suspension of mill operations the Company continued mining operations thereby building a substantial stockpile of mineralized material while at the same time major mill maintenance activities were completed.
