UNITED STATES ANTIMONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2024

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Mexico (“USAC”, the “Company”, “Our”, “Us”, or “We”) sell processed antimony, zeolite, and precious metals products primarily in the U.S. and Canada. The Company processes antimony ore primarily into antimony oxide, antimony metal, and antimony trisulfide. Our antimony oxide is used to form a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper, as a color fastener in paint, and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. Our antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. In its operations in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in soil amendment and fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, and other miscellaneous applications. We recover certain amounts of precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at our plant in Montana from antimony concentrates.

Recent Development

The Company has two subsidiaries in Mexico, US Antimony de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“USAMSA”) and Antimonio de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“ADM”). The USAMSA subsidiary primarily includes the Company’s Madero antimony and precious metals plant in Parras de la Fuente Coahuila, Mexico and its Puerto Blanco antimony and precious metals plant in San Luis de la Paz Guanajuato, Mexico. On March 11, 2024, the Company shut down the operations of USAMSA and announced its intent to sell its USAMSA subsidiary. Since this announcement, the Company initiated an active search for buyers of USAMSA’s operations and/or assets. The accounting requirements for reporting USAMSA as a discontinued operation were met in the first quarter of 2024. See Note 12 for further information. The Company will maintain its existing Los Juarez mining claims and concessions in Mexico, which are included in our ADM subsidiary. However, currently, the Company has no active operations in Los Juarez.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2024, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2024.

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

UNITED STATES ANTIMONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2024

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as previously reported.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies assets and liabilities to be sold ("Disposal Group") as held for sale in the period when all of the applicable criteria are met, including: (i) management commits to a plan to sell, (ii) the Disposal Group is available to sell in its present condition, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the Disposal Group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value, (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are unlikely, and (vi) the sale of the Disposal Group is generally probable of being completed within one year. Management performs an assessment at least quarterly or when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that a change in classification may be necessary.

Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with any adjustments necessary to measure the Disposal Group at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation of property and equipment are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. For each period the Disposal Group remains classified as held for sale, its recoverability is reassessed and any necessary adjustments are made to its carrying value.

The Company categorizes the assets and liabilities of a Disposal Group, or business component, as discontinued operations once management commits to a plan to sell, the business segment is available for immediate sale, management has initiated a plan to sell at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, management anticipates the sale will occur within one year, and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell. In addition, the business component must be comprised of operations and cash flows that are clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s share-based awards consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options granted to employees, consultants, and directors of the Company.

RSUs are stock awards entitling the award recipient to a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock as the award vests. Each RSU granted includes a service-based vesting condition. The Company calculates the fair value of RSUs on the grant date using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of RSUs as share-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, other than RSUs or portions of RSUs that vest on the grant date, in which case the grant date fair value of that RSU or portion of RSU is recognized as share-based compensation expense on the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Stock options grant award recipients the option to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share specified in the grant agreement as the stock options vest. Stock option grants include either a service-based vesting condition or performance-based vesting conditions with a specified contractual term. The Company calculates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. Service and performance conditions are not considered in determining the award’s fair value on the grant date. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards from the grant date through the vesting date. For service-based vesting stock option grants, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the award ratably over the requisite service period. For performance-based vesting stock option grants, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the award ratably from the grant date through the vesting date based on the probability and timing of achieving the performance conditions. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The expense related to employee and consultant share-based awards is recorded in “Salaries and benefits” and the expense related to director share-based awards is recorded in “General and administrative” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. An arrangement contains a lease if it implicitly or explicitly identifies an asset to be used and conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration. As a lessee, the Company includes operating leases in "Operating lease right-of-use assets" and "Current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities" in its Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are capitalized as initial direct costs (“IDC”). The Company amortizes the undiscounted fixed lease cost and the IDC on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If a lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, and are applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, RSUs, warrants, and convertible preferred stock.

At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive were as follows:

	September 30, 2024		September 30, 2023
Warrants		12,346,215		12,346,215
Stock options and RSU awards		6,408,333		-

Mineral rights and interests

In August 2024, the Company acquired the ownership rights to ninety-seven mining claims and three mining leases located in the Sudbury District of Ontario, Canada (“Sudbury Agreement”). Payments are to be made by the Company by the following dates for the Company to acquire these claims and leases, of which the Company has made the first payment of $10,000:

Payment Date	Payment Amount
August 2024	$	10,000
November 2024		15,000
February 2025		35,000
August 2025		40,000
August 2026		50,000
August 2027		50,000
August 2028		75,000
Total	$	275,000

These payments to acquire the mining claims and leases are capitalized when paid in the “Mineral rights and interests” component of “Properties, plants and equipment, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which amounted to $10,000 as of September 30, 2024, and will be amortized over the estimated economic life of the mineral resource based on the units-of-production method.

The Sudbury Agreement requires a royalty payment by the Company of 2.5% of the production from the claims (“Net Smelter Royalty”) with a minimum royalty payment beginning on the fifth anniversary of the agreement of $12,000 per year. 1% of the Net Smelter Royalty can be purchased back by the Company at any time for $1 million. Also, the Sudbury Agreement includes a commitment by the Company to spend an aggregate of $250,000 over four years beginning on the agreement date, with various milestones over this four-year period, in exploring and developing these claims. The Sudbury Agreement can be terminated without cause at any time by the Company with thirty days’ notice.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

In September 2024, the Company executed a contract to lease a metals concentration facility located in Phillipsburg, Montana, which was accounted for as an operating lease. The lease has a term of 18 months with fixed cash payments in advance in the first six months of the lease of $10,000 per month, or $60,000 in total, and fixed cash payments in advance in the last twelve months of the lease of $95,000 per month, or $1.14 million in total, which includes a fixed monthly fee of $45,000 and a minimum milling fee of $50,000 per month. An additional payment of $50 per ton is due each month in the last twelve months of the lease for all milling in excess of 1,000 tons per month. The Company has not included any milling fee payments above the minimum in its lease liability as it is not deemed probable at this time. $10,000 was paid upon signing the lease, which is being accounted for as an initial direct cost ("IDC"). The Company is amortizing the undiscounted fixed lease cost and the IDC on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company recorded the present value of the fixed lease cost over the lease term as a lease liability and Right of Use ("ROU") asset. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 3.49% as of the date of initial possession of the leased asset when determining the present value of future payments of this operating lease as the rate implicit in the lease was not readily determinable. The lease includes provisions for the Company to use the existing mill building and all contents related to its use and to process owned and non-owned ore containing antimony and other critical minerals. The lease does not include any transfer of ownership of the facility at the end of the lease, nor any option to extend the lease or purchase the facility, nor any residual value guarantees. The Company can terminate the lease without cause with thirty days’ notice and must provide the facility to the lessor at the end of the lease in the same condition as it was received.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company follows U.S. GAAP guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies and evaluates such accruals and contingencies for each reporting period. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a loss could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Historically, from time to time, BRZ is assessed fines and penalties by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, BRZ had no accrued liabilities relating to such assessments. However, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, BRZ received four significant and substantial citations from MSHA, all of which have been resolved by BRZ.

On a combined basis, BRZ pays royalties ranging from 8% to 13% on the sale of zeolite products. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued royalties payable of $105,174 and $153,429, respectively.

Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of the grant with an equivalent term approximating the expected term of the options.

Expected dividend yield—The Company bases the expected dividend yield assumption on the fact that it has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.

Expected volatility – The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price over the expected term of the stock option.

Mexico Tax Assessment

In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. SAT’s assessment was based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. The assessment was settled in 2018 with no assessment due from the Company.

In 2019, the Company was notified that SAT re-opened its assessment of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return and, in November 2019, SAT assessed the Company $16.3 million pesos, which was approximately $865,000 USD as of December 31, 2019. Management reviewed the 2019 assessment notice from SAT and, similar to the earlier assessment, believed the findings have no merit. An appeal was filed by the Company in November 2019 suspending SAT from taking immediate action regarding the assessment. In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against SAT for resolution of the process and, in December 2020, filed closing arguments. In 2022, the Mexican court ruled against the Company in the above matter, which was subsequently appealed by the Company.

September 30, 2024

As of December 31, 2023, the updated SAT assessment was approximately $22.4 million pesos, or approximately $1,320,000 USD, which includes $352,000 of unpaid income taxes and $968,000 of interest and penalties. Management, along with its legal counsel, assessed the possible outcomes for this tax audit and believed, based on discussions with its attorneys located in Mexico, that the most likely outcome would be that the Company would be successful in its appeal resulting in no tax due. Management determined that no amount should be accrued at December 31, 2023 relating to this potential tax liability.

In March 2024, Mexico’s appellate court ruled in favor of the Company with no assessment due related to this audit of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return by SAT and instructed the lower court to issue a new ruling. In May 2024, Mexico’s lower court issued a final ruling on this matter in favor of the Company but left open the possibility for the SAT to re-open their audit. Subsequent to this judgment, the Company requested a final ruling on whether SAT can re-open this matter, on which the appellate court has not ruled. These rulings support the Company’s position on this tax matter and have had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Mexico Value Added Tax

USAMSA records a receivable for the Value Added Tax (“VAT” or “IVA”) it pays on certain goods and services representing amounts to be reimbursed from the Mexican government. This receivable balance of $973,414 and $1,122,628 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is recorded in “IVA receivable and other assets, net” in USAMSA’s assets held for sale in discontinued operations net of a reserve of $601,295 and $687,534 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

History

United States Antimony Corporation was incorporated in Montana in January 1970 to mine and produce antimony products. In December 1983, the Company suspended its antimony mining operations in the U.S. but continued to produce antimony products using foreign sources of antimony ore. In April 1998, the Company formed US Antimony de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“USAMSA”) to smelt antimony in Mexico, and, in August 2005, the Company formed Antimonio de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“ADM”) to explore and develop antimony and precious metal deposits in Mexico. The Company formed Bear River Zeolite Company (“BRZ”) in 2000 for the purpose of mining and producing zeolite in Idaho. Our principal business is the production and sale of antimony, precious metals, and zeolite products. In May 2012, our shares of common stock started trading on the NYSE MKT (now NYSE AMERICAN) under the symbol UAMY.

On March 11, 2024, the Company shut down the operations of USAMSA, which was part of the antimony segment, and announced its intent to sell its USAMSA subsidiary. See Note 1 and Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information. The accounting requirements for reporting USAMSA as a discontinued operation were met in the first quarter of 2024. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion & Analysis and Plan of Operation reflect the results of USAMSA as a discontinued operation and are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

Although we extract minerals from the Bear River Zeolite property located in Idaho that we later process and sell, we have not yet prepared a technical report summary for the Bear River Zeolite property making a determination on the property’s mineral resources or mineral reserves. However, the Company has completed test hole drilling and has retained a qualified third-party expert who is in the process of preparing a technical reserve report for the Bear River Zeolite property. We strive to achieve excellence in mine safety and health performance and work with government agencies to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and health and safety standards.

The Company is organized and managed by the following four segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony segment, Mexico antimony segment, zeolite segment, and precious metals segment. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for the Mexico discontinued operations that are excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

United States Antimony Segment

Our United States antimony segment consists of an antimony plant in the Burns Mining District of Sanders County in Montana, which processes antimony ore primarily into antimony oxide, antimony metal, antimony trisulfide, and precious metals. Antimony oxide is a fine, white powder. Our antimony oxide is used in conjunction with a halogen to form a synergistic flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper. Our antimony oxide is also used as a color fastener in paint and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries and ordnance. Our antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. The precious metals processed at this plant in Montana are included in our precious metals segment.

We closed our antimony mine and mill in Montana in December 1983 because antimony ore could be purchased more economically from foreign sources. Our mine and mill are less than one mile from our current antimony smelter plant in Montana. We hold one patented claim at this mine. We also own mining claims in Alaska and Ontario, Canada. However, currently, the Company has no active operations in Alaska or Ontario, Canada.

As a result of the mine and mill closure in Montana, we have relied on sources outside the U.S. for antimony ore since 1983, and there are risks of interruption in procurement from these sources and volatile changes in world market prices for these materials that are not controllable by us. We anticipate continuing to receive antimony ore primarily from an existing supplier in Canada. In addition, we continue to actively research other domestic and non-domestic sources for antimony ore that are economically profitable. The acquisition of antimony ore is technically complex and a function of the country’s laws and regulations. Our purchasing consequently requires flexibility regarding supply agreements, credit support, etc. and is tailored accordingly to specific suppliers.

Table of Contents

We estimate (but have not independently confirmed) that our present share of the domestic and international markets for antimony oxide products is approximately 4% and less than 1%, respectively. We are the only significant U.S. producer of antimony products. We believe we are competitive both domestically and world-wide due to the following:

	·	We are the only U.S. domestic processor of antimony products.

	·	We can process ore quickly and have minimal shipping time to domestic customers.

	·	We have a reputation for quality products delivered on a timely basis.

	·	We have the only operating, permitted antimony smelter located in the U.S.

Mexico Antimony Segment

The Company has two subsidiaries in Mexico, USAMSA and ADM. On March 11, 2024, we shut down the operational activities of USAMSA, which primarily includes the following two antimony and precious metals processing plants in Mexico: (1) the Madero smelter in Coahuila, and (2) the Puerto Blanco flotation mill, oxide circuit, and cyanide leach circuit in Guanajuato. The Company intends to sell its USAMSA subsidiary over the next year and has initiated an active search for buyers of its operations and/or assets. See Note 1 and Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information.

We will maintain our existing Los Juarez mining claims and concessions in Cadereyta de Montes Queretaro, Mexico, which are included in our ADM subsidiary. There are presently no active operations at Los Juarez.

Zeolite Segment

Our zeolite segment consists of a mine and processing plant located in Preston, Idaho, Bear River Zeolite, Inc. (“BRZ”), which produces zeolite. Our zeolite is used for various purposes including soil amendment and fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, and other miscellaneous applications.

BRZ has a lease with Zeolite, LLC that entitles BRZ to surface mine and process zeolite on property in Preston, Idaho, in exchange for a royalty payment. The annual royalty payment is the greater of: (1) the minimum annual royalty of $60,000, adjusted annually for the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, or (2) $11.00 per ton for the first ten thousand tons, $9.90 per ton for tons in excess of ten thousand up to twenty thousand, and $8.80 per ton for tons in excess of twenty thousand. This Zeolite LLC lease also requires BRZ to pay $10,000 to the lessor on March 1 of each year during the term of the lease, which ends March 1, 2025. BRZ also pays two other royalties on the sale of zeolite products. On a combined basis, BRZ pays royalties ranging from 8% to 13% on the sale of zeolite products. In addition, BRZ can surface mine and process zeolite on property owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management that is located adjacent to the Company’s Preston, Idaho property after obtaining required permits.

Table of Contents

“Zeolite” refers to a group of industrial minerals that consist of hydrated aluminosilicates that hold cations such as calcium, sodium, ammonium, various heavy metals, and potassium in their crystal lattice. Water is loosely held in cavities in the lattice. BRZ zeolite is regarded as one of the best zeolites in the world due to its high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of approximately 180-220 meq/100 gr. (which predicts plant nutrient availability and retention in soil), its hardness and high clinoptilolite content (which is an effective barrier to prevent problematic radionuclide movement), its absence of clay minerals, and its low sodium content. Our zeolite has been used in:

	☐	Soil Amendment and Fertilizer. Zeolite has been successfully used to fertilize golf courses, sports fields, parks and common areas, and high value agricultural crops.

	☐	Water Filtration. Zeolite is used for particulate, heavy metal and ammonium removal in swimming pools, municipal water systems, industrial water discharge streams, fisheries, fish farms, and aquariums.

	☐	Sewage Treatment. Zeolite is used in sewage treatment plants to remove nitrogen and as a carrier for microorganisms.

	☐	Nuclear Waste and Other Environmental Cleanup. Zeolite has shown a strong ability to selectively remove strontium, cesium, radium, uranium, and various other radioactive isotopes from solution. Zeolite can also be used for the cleanup of soluble metals such as mercury, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, antimony, calcium, silver and uranium.

	☐	Odor Control. A major cause of odor around cattle, hog, and poultry feed lots is the generation of the ammonium in urea and manure. The ability of zeolite to absorb ammonium prevents the formation of ammonia gas, which disperses the odor.

	☐	Gas Separation. Zeolite has been used for some time to separate gases, to re-oxygenate downstream water from sewage plants, smelters, pulp and paper plants, and fishponds and tanks, and to remove carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from methane generators as organic waste, sanitary landfills, municipal sewage systems, animal waste treatment facilities, and is excellent in pressure swing apparatuses.

	☐	Animal Nutrition. According to third-party research, feeding up to 2% zeolite increases growth rates, decreases conversion rates, and prevents scours.

	☐	Miscellaneous Uses. Other uses include catalysts, petroleum refining, concrete, solar energy and heat exchange, desiccants, pellet binding, horse and kitty litter, floor cleaner, traction control, ammonia removal from mining waste, and carriers for insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.

Precious Metals Segment

Our precious metals segment consists of a precious metals recovery plant that is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant in Montana. Precious metals are recovered in the leach circuit and settling pond after the ore goes through the crushing and flotation cycles. When precious metals are contained in antimony source, the metallurgical techniques employed for the recovery of antimony are altered to also recover the precious metals. The principal source of antimony concentrates bearing precious metals comes from our Canadian supplier, who also purchases these precious metals back from the Company. The sales of this product are intermittent throughout the year.

Operational and Financial Performance of Continuing Operations by Segment:

Antimony

Financial and operational performance of antimony for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

Average gross profit per pound	$	1.95	$	1.11	$	0.84		75.8	%

Antimony revenue increased $1,025,726, or 23.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher volume from increased demand for antimony oxide and metal. A portion of this increased demand for antimony metal was related to the processing of customer-owned antimony ore. The sales price per pound related to the processing of customer-owned antimony ore was lower than the sales price per pound for our other antimony products, which was the primary reason for the decrease in our average sales price per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year.

Gross profit increased $1,210,979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to improved cost efficiencies with higher volume and the prior year sale of purchased finished antimony trioxide at a lower gross margin. Also, the improved results related to average gross profit per pound in both nine-month periods presented were due to discontinuing our Mexico antimony operations, the results of which are not included in the continuing operations information presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation, but rather in discontinued operations, which is presented in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.

Zeolite revenue increased $339,329, or 17.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

	·	The increased average sales price per ton, which was mainly related to a price increase that was effective towards the end of 2023, and
	·	The increased tons of zeolite sold, which was mainly related to increased demand and our ability to meet customer orders in a more timely fashion.

Gross profit decreased by $255,092 for the nine months end September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increased costs for maintenance, backup equipment leases, and related expenses in repairing older machinery and equipment, especially during production downtime.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance because it eliminates non-cash expenses that do not reflect our underlying business performance. We use this measure to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business.

EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the use of EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Our EBITDA from continuing operations was a loss of ($306,853) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $342,071 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash flow provided by operating activities improved by $1,579,764 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to good working capital management, which includes improved collections on receivables, better management of vendor payments, increased payments of compensation in stock, and maintaining a lower amount due on royalties. The increased vendor payables balance at September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 was mainly due to a vendor that had extensive deliveries later in the third quarter of 2024.

Cash flow used by investing activities improved by $1,479,106 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to less fixed asset purchases and the sale of our personal residence. See Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Table of Contents

Cash flow used by financing activities improved by $786,640 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the payment of a dividend of $787,730 on January 25, 2023 to the holders of 1,692,672 shares of Series D Preferred stock.

Our mission is to service our employees, customers, and vendors well and grow our business profitably both organically and through strategic acquisitions and partnerships to increase shareholder value. The Company is focused on generating positive cash flow to fund its mission. One method of improving positive cash flow has been through our review of each segment’s operations and financial results to make informed decisions that benefit the Company overall. An example of the results of our review relates to USAMSA. Our USAMSA subsidiary has generated cumulative losses since inception. Therefore, we shut down the operations of USAMSA on March 11, 2024.

Another method of generating cash is through the sale or issuance of common stock, warrants, debt, and other investment vehicles, which the Company has been successful at executing in the past. However, our ability to access capital or raise funds when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available when, and in the amounts and terms needed, or if capital is not available at all, the Company could be required to significantly curtail its operations, modify existing strategic plans, and/or dispose of certain operations or assets, which could materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

The Company could also receive funds from the U.S. Government for initiatives related to antimony, zeolite, and other minerals. However, there is no assurance that U.S. Government funding will be able accessible to the Company.

We may use cash to acquire businesses. The nature of these investments and transactions, however, makes it difficult to predict the amount and timing of such cash requirements.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12,969,132. We intend to fund our cash requirements with our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, and capital raised from various investment vehicles and believe cash from these sources are sufficient to cover our requirements for the next 12 months.

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Co-Principal Executive Officers (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the PEO and the PFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external accounting and legal professionals. The Company is reviewing various plans to strengthen its internal controls. These plans are ongoing and include: (i) reviewing various software packages to determine if it can reduce hours spent by personnel in the accounting department by automating manual processes, (ii) determining whether controls can be implemented to mitigate segregation of duties issues, (iii) hiring additional accountants to improve our segregation of duties controls, (iv) designing controls to formalize roles and responsibilities, and (v) designing certain entity-level controls to support the control environment.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications	Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as previously reported.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations	The Company classifies assets and liabilities to be sold ("Disposal Group") as held for sale in the period when all of the applicable criteria are met, including: (i) management commits to a plan to sell, (ii) the Disposal Group is available to sell in its present condition, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the Disposal Group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value, (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are unlikely, and (vi) the sale of the Disposal Group is generally probable of being completed within one year. Management performs an assessment at least quarterly or when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that a change in classification may be necessary. Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with any adjustments necessary to measure the Disposal Group at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation of property and equipment are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. For each period the Disposal Group remains classified as held for sale, its recoverability is reassessed and any necessary adjustments are made to its carrying value. The Company categorizes the assets and liabilities of a Disposal Group, or business component, as discontinued operations once management commits to a plan to sell, the business segment is available for immediate sale, management has initiated a plan to sell at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, management anticipates the sale will occur within one year, and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan to sell. In addition, the business component must be comprised of operations and cash flows that are clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Share-Based Compensation	The Company’s share-based awards consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options granted to employees, consultants, and directors of the Company. RSUs are stock awards entitling the award recipient to a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock as the award vests. Each RSU granted includes a service-based vesting condition. The Company calculates the fair value of RSUs on the grant date using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of RSUs as share-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, other than RSUs or portions of RSUs that vest on the grant date, in which case the grant date fair value of that RSU or portion of RSU is recognized as share-based compensation expense on the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Stock options grant award recipients the option to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share specified in the grant agreement as the stock options vest. Stock option grants include either a service-based vesting condition or performance-based vesting conditions with a specified contractual term. The Company calculates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. Service and performance conditions are not considered in determining the award’s fair value on the grant date. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards from the grant date through the vesting date. For service-based vesting stock option grants, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the award ratably over the requisite service period. For performance-based vesting stock option grants, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the award ratably from the grant date through the vesting date based on the probability and timing of achieving the performance conditions. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The expense related to employee and consultant share-based awards is recorded in “Salaries and benefits” and the expense related to director share-based awards is recorded in “General and administrative” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Leases	The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. An arrangement contains a lease if it implicitly or explicitly identifies an asset to be used and conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration. As a lessee, the Company includes operating leases in "Operating lease right-of-use assets" and "Current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities" in its Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are capitalized as initial direct costs (“IDC”). The Company amortizes the undiscounted fixed lease cost and the IDC on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If a lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, and are applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
