United States Antimony Corporation (USAC), listed on the NYSE and NYSE Texas under the ticker UAMY, is taking significant steps to advance critical mineral operations by hosting an exclusive VIP site visit at its Mohawk Antimony Property located near Ester, Alaska.
The event, held on September 8, 2025, is designed to bring together key state and federal leaders, municipal officials, and representatives from various industries to explore USAC’s initiatives within the Fairbanks area.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the vital role of antimony in U.S. defense, energy, and technology supply chains, along with the potential benefits this project is poised to offer the local community.
Expected attendees include important figures such as Karisse Ackerman from the Fairbanks LIO, John Boyle, Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and Kati Capozzi, President/CEO of the Alaska Chamber, among others.
The Mohawk Antimony Property is approximately 0.8 miles north of the junction of St. Patrick and Henderson roads in Ester, Alaska.
This historic mining site was acquired by USAC at the end of June and is recognized as a patented mining property with significant antimony potential already identified.
Approval for the necessary mining permits from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources was received just three days prior to the event, on September 5, 2005, allowing for the commencement of mining activities later that same day.
Gary C. Evans, USAC’s Chairman and CEO, emphasized that hosting Alaska’s state, federal, and mining leaders at the Mohawk Antimony Property underscores the company’s commitment to transparency, local collaboration, and responsible mineral development.
“This project highlights Alaska’s vital role in America’s resource future while underscoring USAC’s mission to enhance U.S. critical mineral independence away from foreign adversaries,” said Evans.
As the only processor and producer of antimony in the United States, USAC is pivotal in efforts to reduce the nation’s reliance on foreign supplies for materials critical to defense, aerospace, and energy technologies.
In 2023, the company produced MIL SPEC antimony trisulfide, which received approval from the Defense Logistics Agency, confirming compliance with military specifications.
“USAC’s operations align with America’s broader strategic objectives, especially under the current Administration. As the sole domestic smelter of antimony, we play an essential role in securing materials vital for national defense,” Evans added.
The company’s commitment extends to environmental sustainability, focusing on modernizing sites from historical mining activities, rehabilitating lands affected by previous operations, and responsibly managing resources while engaging local stakeholders.
USAC aims to merge national security interests with sustainable practices, positioning Alaska as a cornerstone of the United States’ mineral resource base.
In light of China’s dominant control over more than 60% of global raw antimony supply and over 80% of processing, USAC’s Alaskan operations present a unique opportunity to enhance domestic mineral independence while fostering local economic growth.
The extracted raw ore will be transported to USAC’s existing smelter in Montana, which is currently undergoing significant expansion, for processing into products serving both military and industrial customers.
Reflecting on recent geopolitical tensions, Evans remarked on the implications of China’s military parade, which underscored threats to the United States’ strategic advantages.
The military showcase served as a reminder of Xi Jinping’s ambitions for China to emerge as a preeminent military power, capable of competing with the U.S. for global dominance and safeguarding strategic interests.
Evans encapsulated the urgency of USAC’s mission: “There is no question that our country is ‘behind the eight ball’ when it comes to controlling essential minerals and rare earths. However, we can and will address this challenge more swiftly than our foreign adversaries can anticipate.”
He expressed confidence in America’s resilience, drawing parallels to historical moments of resolve that have characterized the nation’s journey toward independence and innovation.
“This is America… look at our history… look at our resolve… and you better get out of our way!” he declared, reiterating the importance of USAC’s endeavors in the face of competition.
