United States Antimony Corporation: Leading the Antimony Renaissance

As global supply chains face increasing pressure and geopolitical tensions rise, United States Antimony Corporation (USAC) stands at the forefront of a critical mineral resurgence. With its roots tracing back to 1968, the company has transformed under new leadership and strategic direction to become a key player in the antimony market.

A Strategic Pivot
Under the guidance of industry veteran Gary Evans, USAC has revitalized its operations by focusing on vertical integration, ensuring a steady and reliable supply of antimony. This comes in the wake of China’s decision in September 2024 to cut off global supply, propelling the company into a position of strength as a domestic producer.

Expanding Operations
USAC’s commitments in Alaska and Montana reflect its proactive approach to securing and expanding mining claims. These locations serve as pivotal points for mining and production, aligning with the Defense Production Act’s requirements for domestic sourcing of military-grade materials by 2027.

Diversification and Innovation
In addition to antimony, USAC is strategically diversifying its critical mineral portfolio to include tungsten and cobalt, engaging with U.S. governmental bodies like the Department of Defense to explore opportunities in other high-demand minerals. The company’s proprietary process engineering offers a unique competitive edge, allowing rapid scaling and adaptation to meet excessive market demand.

Major Contracts and Future Endeavors
USAC has secured a significant five-year, $245 million contract with the Defense Logistics Agency, representing a substantial growth opportunity. Further, a $106 million deal with a private industrial company underlines USAC’s growing influence and demand across various industrial sectors, from energy to construction.
