United States Antimony restarted field activities at its Stibnite Hill property in Thompson Falls, Montana, as milder weather and minimal snowfall this winter allowed crews to resume work earlier than anticipated. Operations had been suspended in early November due to harsh conditions, delaying ore extraction until spring.

During a two-month period last year, the company transported over 800 tons of antimony ore down the mountain to its Radersburg flotation facility for concentrate production, which is then sent to the Thompson Falls smelter to manufacture finished antimony products for its customer base.

For this year’s mining season, United States Antimony will employ brush chipping to create mulch for concurrent reclamation and deploy professional surveyors’ GPS stations to enable portable data collectors to map antimony vein intercepts accurately, improving both ore delineation and environmental restoration.
