United States Antimony Expands Capacity as Defense Contracts Fuel Growth

United States Antimony (UAMY) is expanding capacity due to defense contracts, including a $245M DLA contract for antimony metal ingots. The company also secured a $106M contract for flame-retardant materials. A joint venture with Americas Gold and Silver aims to build a hydrometallurgical facility, increasing total capacity to 1,500 tons/month. Revenue grew from $8M in 2023 to $39M in 2024, but guidance was reduced to $60M-$75M due to price declines.
