"U. S. Antimony Announces Expedited Construction of Antimony and Silver Mill in Mexico".THOMPSON FALLS, Mont. -- United States Antimony Corporation (OTCBB:UAMY) announced that its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Antimonio de Mexico, S. A. de C. V., is expediting the construction of a flotation mill to begin the processing of antimony and silver mineraliztion from a large property in the State of Queretaro, Mexico. All permits for the mine property and mill site have been filed with various Mexican agencies and approvals are expected very shortly. Some of the equipment is already in Mexico, but most of the equipment, which is owned by USAC, is being assembled in Montana at the Company headquarters. The silver and gold mineraliztion is almost equal in value to the antimony. Water for the mill will be purchased from the nearby waste water treatment plant at the town of Cadereyta. Construction of the pipeline to the mill site is now underway. Antimony, silver and gold concentrates from the 150-ton per day mill will be processed at USAC's smelter site at Estacion Madero in the State of Coahuila, Mexico. Funding for the mill construction and mine start up is primarily being provided by ongoing zeolite and antimony operations in the United States. USAC is now the only significant domestic producer of antimony products. All 2007 antimony production is now sold out, and the Company is projecting record antimony and zeolite sales for 2007. Current bank dept is less than $50,000, and it should be completely retired before the end of the year. USAC has had almost 40 years of experience in mining, processing, and selling precious metals, antimony oxide, antimony metal, sodium antimonite, and industrial minerals. The Company has installed a vertical roller mill at its BRZ zeolite plant that has increased the plant capacity by 15 tons per hour.
