THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2019 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC", NYSE American:UAMY) announced progress on the gold, silver, and antimony Los Juarez project. Major milestones towards production that have been completed in the last month include the installation of the HDPE pond liner in the 5 acre tailings pond, and the deepening of the water well to 222 meters to provide more than 240 gallons of water per minute. The pond and the well will be more than adequate to ramp production from 100 tons per day to 400 tons per day. Projects remaining include fencing the pond, completion of the laboratory for fire assaying precious metals, and atomic adsorption equipment for assaying antimony silver and gold in the leach circuit. The mill fine ore bin has been filled with crushed ore from the mine. Initial testing could start within 30 to 60 days.
