The company foresees achieving a major milestone in 2026
In a thorough update of its mining activities in Alaska, Montana, and Canada, U.S. Antimony also stated that while it continues to work through its source of antimony material that it has procured from foreign sources, it projects that "2026 will be the first time we begin actually utilizing our own mined antimony ore to fulfill the contracted needs of our customers."
Addressing the merits of using antimony sourced from the company's own operations, Joseph Bardswich, U.S. Antimony executive vice president and Chief Mining Engineer, stated in the company's press release that "Company mined antimony provides assurance as to composition, and supply, simpler logistics and a lower cost that allows for overall improved margins."
With respect to recent activities, U.S. Antimony reported that it's advancing operations at Nolan Creek in Alaska, where it expects to begin mining for antimony and gold later this year. In Montana, where it conducts antimony mining operations, U.S. Antimony reported that it had resumed the excavation and trucking of material to the Radersburg Mill in late July after implementing safety measures at the request of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.
