Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-5 of 5)

Q1 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: 美国国内锑矿供应现状及公司矿山情况
• Key points:
  • 美国国内没有其他锑矿正在开采，未来2-3年内也无望投产。
  • 公司位于蒙大拿州的矿山已接近将原料运至汤普森瀑布冶炼厂，阿拉斯加矿山预计9月产出原料。
  • 公司是美国短期唯一锑矿来源。
• Mgmt stance: bullish – 强调公司是美国唯一短期锑矿供应方，竞争对手空白。

Q2 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: 阿拉斯加矿权面积及伴生金矿潜力
• Key points:
  • 公司矿权约23,000–30,000英亩，近期收购了包含地表和采矿权的租赁地（45天内完成）。
  • 该地有金矿开采历史，公司预计在开采锑的过程中会发现金矿。
  • 公司支付费用清理了旧车并改善了环境。
• Mgmt stance: bullish – 认为伴生金矿是确定性机会，且对土地治理有积极影响。

Q3 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: 2.4亿美元政府锑采购合同进展
• Key points:
  • 该合同金额为2.4亿美元，用于采购锑。
  • 公司是唯一供应商（因为美国没有其他冶炼厂）。
  • 合同询价截止日为本日（通话日期），公司预计未来几周内会有结果。
• Mgmt stance: bullish – 预期合同即将落地，公司处于独家地位。

Q4 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: 政府资金支持预期及与政府关系
• Key points:

Q5 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: 阿拉斯加当地许可与公众舆论进展
• Key points:

  • 主要阻力来自当地环保组织“Save Our Domes”，公司正与州自然资源部（DNR）高层沟通以加快进程。
  • 公司通过公关和实地教育当地民众，包括清理100年来遗留的废矿，并在偏远地区已有知名度（渔民知晓公司）。
• Mgmt stance: neutral – 承认当地环境阻力，但认为通过教育和实际行动（清理土地）可逐步化解，进展良好。

Q&A Batch (6-8 of 8)

Q6 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: Third facility plans and Thompson Falls timeline
• Key points:
  • Thompson Falls improvements are underway and planned for year-end.
  • No immediate plans for a third facility; focus is on getting Thompson Falls and Madero to full capacity first.
  • Third facility discussions with government are a 2026–2027 event.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral – prioritizes existing facilities before expansion.

Q7 — Gary C. Evans

• Topic: Mandalay material quality issues and future supply
• Key points:
  • Two 55-ton loads from Australia (Mandalay) had above-contracted arsenic levels, causing finished product contamination.
  • Third 55-ton load, held by China since May, returned to Australia and left 2–3 days ago; due mid-September; will be assayed for arsenic.
  • Company is not counting on future Mandalay material; soliciting from other countries; arsenic issue linked to deeper gold mining at Mandalay.
• Mgmt stance: Cautious – supply from Mandalay is uncertain; last shipment unless contract renegotiated.

Q8 — Gary C. Evans & Lloyd Joseph Bardswich

• Topic: Tungsten processing and feedstock supply
• Key points:
  • Existing refining capacity in the media area offers attractive processing price; no other active tungsten mines in U.S. or Canada.
  • Tungsten is needed for military (tanks); China historically primary provider, banned when antimony was banned.
  • Property is low-grade, open-pittable; plan to upgrade via gravity separation (crush only, no grinding/chemicals) to reduce trucking costs.
  • Strathcona mill (10,000 tons/day) is underutilized; Magna Mining shipped 20,000-ton bulk sample there with positive results; UAMY has not yet talked to Glencore/Strathcona.
  • Permitting started; four-season data collection needed (>1 year); bulk sample allowed (20,000–50,000 tons vs. typical 1,000 tons on federal land); start by September 1.
  • North American antimony feedstock supplier shipped more due to renegotiated contract (February) and higher facility run rates; no other disposal option except hazardous waste dump.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish – sees growth potential in antimony and tungsten; expects strong Q3/Q4 financial results and exciting 2026.
