United States Antimony Corporation $(USAC)$ has announced the reopening of its antimony mining operations in Montana, marking the first such restart in the U.S. in decades. This strategic move comes amid increasing governmental focus on securing North American supply chains for critical minerals, particularly antimony, a material essential for national defense. With the reopening of its mine adjacent to existing smelting operations in Sanders County, Montana, USAC aims to leverage its over 35,000 acres of new mining claims in Alaska to ensure a steady supply of antimony. The company has filed necessary permits, including a Small Miners Exclusion Statement, to begin immediate mining, enhancing its position as the first fully integrated antimony company globally. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to reduce dependence on foreign antimony sources and counteract market dominance by countries like China.
