United States Antimony Corporation (USAC), OTCBB “uamy.ob”, reported a pretax profit of $69,789 on sales of $2,838,039 during the first quarter of 2011 compared to a loss of $84,117 on sales of $1,414,826 during the same quarter in 2010. The sales revenues for Q1 2011 have set a new corporate record. During Q1 2011 the sale of antimony products was $2,445,533 compared to $1,003,080 during the same period in 2010, an increase of 144%. The gross profit on antimony for Q1 2011 was $348,899 compared to $102,002 during the same period in 2010, an increase of 242%. Silver and gold production is included in the antimony revenue as a byproduct. During Q1 2011 the silver and gold production was $332,657 compared to $40,017 during the same quarter in 2010, an increase of 731%. Zeolite sales during Q1 2011 were $392,607 compared to $411,746 during the same period in 2010, a decrease of 4.6%, which was primarily due to a hard winter. The Company lost $2,379 on zeolite sales during Q1 2011 compared to a profit of $16,421 during the same period of 2010. Cash equivalents at the end of Q1 for 2011 were $1,543,176 compared to $448,861 at the same time in 2010. Mexican exploration, funding costs, and administrative expenses associated with the Mexican startup adversely impacted the profitability during Q1 2011.

Construction of the antimony-silver-gold flotation mill is well underway at Guanajuato, Mexico. The mill will have a rated capacity of 150 metric tons per 24 hours with room for expansion. Testing of the mill should begin by the end of June.

USAC antimony remains in a sold out condition and is expediting the mill completion to process raw material from the Company’s Los Juarez property as well as others.
