United States Antimony Corporation $(USAC)$, the only operator of antimony smelters in North America, has announced the commencement of operations at its newly acquired Mohawk Antimony Property in Ester, Alaska. The company hosted an exclusive VIP site visit, showcasing its commitment to transparency and collaboration with local and federal leaders. The project emphasizes Alaska's role in bolstering U.S. critical mineral independence, as USAC aims to reduce reliance on foreign sources for materials vital to defense and energy technologies. As the sole domestic producer of antimony products like metal ingots, antimony trioxide, and MIL SPEC antimony trisulfide, USAC aligns with national strategic priorities, combining national security with sustainable development. The Mohawk Antimony Property, with significant antimony potential, received necessary mining permits and marks the start of operations in the region.
