The site tour will take place at the Mohawk Antimony Property, located approximately 0.8 miles north of the St. Patrick and Henderson roads junction in Ester, Alaska. This historic mining property was acquired by USAC at the end of June and constitutes a patented mining property with already identified significant antimony potential. Approval of our necessary mining permits on this property were received from the DNR on Friday, September 5, 2005. Therefore, the Mohawk Antimony property will be our first antimony where mining operations begin later today, after this VIP Delegation gathering.

"Hosting Alaska's state, federal, and mining leaders at our newly acquired Mohawk Antimony Property reflects our commitment to transparency, local collaboration, and responsible development," said Gary C. Evans, Chairman & CEO of United States Antimony Corporation. "This project highlights Alaska's important role in America's resource future, while also underscoring USAC's mission to strengthen U.S. critical mineral independence away from foreign adversaries. USAC is and has been the only United States processor and producer of antimony and antimony products for several decades. USAC produces antimony metal ingots, antimony trioxide, and antimony trisulfide. In 2023, USAC produced MIL SPEC antimony trisulfide that was subsequently approved by the DLA, which means we meet Military Spec requirements.

USAC's efforts align directly with America's broader strategic priorities, especially under this Administration. As the sole domestic smelter of antimony, the Company plays a critical role in reducing reliance on foreign adversaries for materials essential to defense, aerospace, and energy technologies. At the same time, USAC is committed to environmental stewardship - modernizing historic mine sites, cleaning up the lands left in poor condition by previous mining operations, responsibly managing resources, and engaging local communities. By combining national security needs with sustainable development, USAC is repositioning Alaska as a cornerstone of America's critical mineral resource base.

With China controlling over 60% of global raw antimony supply and more than 80% of downstream processing, USAC's Alaska operations represent a unique opportunity to advance domestic mineral independence while supporting local economic growth. This raw ore will then be trucked to USAC's existing smelter in Montana, currently under significant expansion, to be processed for both our military and industrial customers. Late last week, ‘China Shakes Its Fist at U.S. With Parade,' as quoted in the World News of the Wall Street Journal ("WSJ"). The military parade showcased China's warm relations with the leaders from Russia, Iran, and North Korea. As quoted by the WSJ, ‘The parade was a reminder of Xi's ambitions to make China a first-rate military power capable of protecting its global interests, competing with the U.S. for strategic dominance and potentially seizing Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as its territory.' Xi is promoting a message of ‘national sacrifice - not as victims, but as a function of willpower and national resolve' as quoted in the WSJ by Vincent Chang, a China historian at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

There is no question our country is ‘behind the eight ball' as it relates to our control of both critical minerals and rare earths. However, we can and will solve this problem faster than our foreign adversaries can understand. This is America…look at our history…look at our resolve…and you better get out of our way!"
