573 tons Shipped
868 tons
Madero Smelter: All crude antimony oxide was converted to crude antimony metal during October. The smelter started Oct with 37,665 lbs of crude oxide and 86,842 lbs of crude antimony metal.
By Nov. 1, the entire stock of crude oxide had been converted to crude metal resulting in an inventory of
127,000 lbs of crude antimony metal.
Thompson Falls:
30.5 tons of refined antimony trioxide were produced and sold in October. Several test batches of antimony trisulfide were produced in the new furnaces. Antimony Trisulfide production in October for the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) totaled
340 lbs. and recycled fines totaled
1,760 lbs. Increased production of the recycled material is anticipated in the future.
Operations Upgrades
BRZ The new primary jaw crusher continues to perform well. Pit production continued in October, building up the stockpile in advance of winter. Shipments were down based on some of our customers encountering difficulties in being able to contract trucks.
Madero -The Madero crew continued to produce crude antimony metal to lessen trucking costs (as compared to antimony trioxide) to Thompson Falls. Studies of the feasibility of production of high-quality antimony trioxide at Madero indicate that additional improvements to the plant infrastructure will need to be accomplished first. The company plans to promote sales of finished metal from the Madero Mexican smelter while continuing shipments of crude oxide and crude metal from Madero to Montana for supplementary sales of finished oxide. The last shipment (19.2 tons) of crude antimony oxide to Thompson Falls from the Madero Smelter was on 5 Aug.
Thompson Falls: The two new furnaces are fully operational and started producing test batches of antimony trisulphide in early October. Labor shortages at the Thompson Falls facilities were improved by a company program of encouraging existing employees to recommend friends and relatives to sign on. This resulted in an addition of four new quality laborers. The addition of these men enabled the commencement of the relining of one of our older furnaces.
Ambri Inc.: The company continues to track developments at Ambri and are cooperating with them to supply antimony this year and next.
Los Juarez/Puerto Blanco: Discussions continued with third party exploration companies towards a possible earn-in joint venture arrangement that would utilize their expertise and lower the company's risk.
