THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / December 3, 2018 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC") (NYSE American: "UAMY") reported that most of the equipment for the Puerto Blanco leach plant is being installed at the Puerto Blanco mill in Mexico. Projects underway include finishing the tailings pond, wiring, plumbing, and completing the building. A fire assay lab with an atomic adsorption spectrophotometer to analyze gold, silver, and other elements is being assembled to provide quick results at the mill and confirm recoveries. Reagents and supplies are being sourced.
For the first time, two truckloads of Wadley ore were delivered to the Madero smelter in one week. Although this will probably not happen each week at the present time, it is the objective prior to the installation of the compressors. The compressors and pneumatic hammers should be delivered to the Wadley mine in January and are expected to increase production substantially.
The dismantling and transportation of the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, LANXESS Holding Company US Inc. antimony plant in Reynosa, Mexico is expected to be completed by the end of January 2019. As previously reported, the real property has been sold, and much of the equipment will be used at other USAC properties.
Estimated production for November 2018 was as follows:
Product | November 2018 |
Antimony pounds | 160,826 |
Zeolite tons | 1,150 |
The average Rotterdam price for antimony metal during November 2018 was
$8,089 per ton or $3.669 per pound.
CEO John Lawrence said "We are excited to be nearing the completion of the leach plant at the Puerto Blanco mill to begin selling gold, silver, and antimony from the Los Juarez deposit."
