United States Antimony Corporation
UAMY · ARCX · Other Industrial Metals & Mining · United States
United States Antimony Corporation is a mining and minerals processing company specializing in antimony, zeolite, and precious metals. It operates as a fully integrated producer, handling mining, purchasing, processing, smelting, and sales of antimony products including antimony oxide, antimony metal, and antimony trisulfide, alongside recovery of gold and silver from ore. Antimony oxide serves as a key component in flame-retardant systems for plastics, rubber, fabrics, paints, and paper, while antimony trisulfide is utilized in ammunition primers, including those approved for military use. The zeolite segment, through the Bear River Zeolite facility in Idaho, produces industrial minerals applied in water filtration, environmental cleanup, soil amendment, animal nutrition, odor control, and gas separation. With facilities in Montana and Mexico for antimony smelting and processing, the company supplies these critical materials primarily to markets in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, supporting industries such as defense, manufacturing, and environmental services. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Thompson Falls, Montana, United States Antimony Corporation plays a vital role in the North American critical minerals supply chain.

Supply Chain
Lithium Supply Chain
The lithium supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that most commodity systems do not face simultaneously: extraction methods diverge so fundamentally that brine evaporation and hard-rock mining produce different timelines, geographies, and cost structures from the same element; chemical refining is concentrated in China regardless of where lithium is mined; and demand grows on EV product cycles while new mine development takes five to seven years, creating a timing mismatch the system cannot resolve through price alone.
Rare Earth Elements Supply Chain
The rare earth supply chain is governed by three structural constraints that most industries never encounter: rare earth elements occur together in ore and cannot be mined individually, separation requires toxic acid-based processes that produce radioactive waste, and China controls roughly sixty percent of mining and ninety percent of processing capacity worldwide.
Copper Supply Chain
The copper supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that compound over time: ore grades are declining, forcing more energy and processing per ton of output; smelting and refining capacity is concentrated in China, which processes roughly forty percent of global copper; and new mines take ten to fifteen years from discovery to production, meaning supply cannot respond to demand on any timeline shorter than a decade.
