United States Antimony Corporation has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a leading long-only mutual fund for approximately $25 million in gross proceeds, marking the company's third major capital raise in recent weeks. This latest funding brings total institutional investment to $69.25 million over the past 45 days, demonstrating significant financial market confidence in the company's strategic direction. The capital will support inventory expansion, additional leasehold acquisitions in Alaska and Montana, potential capacity increases at the Madero Smelter, strategic acquisitions, and general working capital requirements.
Chairman and CEO Gary C. Evans emphasized the importance of this institutional backing, noting that all three funding tranches occurred at progressively higher share prices, indicating growing market validation of the company's business model and growth prospects in the critical minerals sector. This consistent upward pricing trend during successive funding rounds reflects strong investor confidence in United States Antimony Corporation's strategic positioning within the critical minerals landscape. The company processes third party ore primarily into antimony oxide, antimony metal, antimony trisulfide, and precious metals at its facilities located in Montana and Mexico, serving essential functions across multiple industrial sectors.
Antimony products manufactured by the company serve critical applications across numerous industries. Antimony oxide forms flame-retardant systems for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper, while also serving as a color fastener in paint and phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Antimony metal finds application in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance, with antimony trisulfide used as a primer in ammunition. Beyond its antimony operations, the company maintains significant zeolite production capabilities at its Bear River Zeolite facility in Idaho, positioning it to address multiple critical infrastructure and environmental challenges.
Zeolite represents a group of industrial minerals used in water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, soil amendment and fertilizer, and various other applications. This diversification provides the company with multiple revenue streams while addressing essential industrial and environmental needs. The recent funding follows strategic expansion initiatives undertaken during 2024 and 2025, when the company began acquiring mining claims and leases in Montana, Alaska and Ontario, Canada, representing a concerted effort to broaden both operational footprint and product offerings in the critical minerals space.
The company also recovers precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at its Montana facility from third party ore, adding another revenue stream to its diversified mineral portfolio. Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, acted as sole placement agent for the offering, which is expected to close on or about October 14, 2025.
