U.S. Antimony Announces Soyatal Mexico Antimony Deposit

The Soyatal District was the third largest producer of antimony in Mexico. According to the U. S. Geological Survey Bulletin 960-R, the District produced 74,000 metric tons of ore from which they recovered 25,630 metric tons of antimony metal (56,503,898 pounds) from 1905 until 1943. All mining was done by hand-methods and transportation to the railroad was by mule. Estimated recoveries of the antimony ranged from 30-40%. Additional production continued during and after World War II, but it is unknown.

High-grade antimony is being mined and shipped from Soyatal to the USAMSA Smelter operating in the State of Coahuila, Mexico. Lower-grade antimony is being stockpiled for the USAMSA mill that will be completed by Q1 2010. The mill will be convenient to both the Soyatal District and the Los Juarez antimony and silver deposit that is held by another USAC subsidiary. Concentrates from these two deposits will be shipped to the USAMSA Smelter.

A Company spokesman said that USAC is making an all-out effort to increase its supply of raw material to address the numerous orders it is receiving for antimony products in the United States and other countries. The Chinese produce more than 92% of the world supply of antimony.
