United States Antimony Corporation Secures $25 Million Funding from Leading Mutual Fund
United States Antimony Corporation has raised $25 million from a major mutual fund to expand its critical minerals operations, strengthening its financial position amid growing demand for antimony and zeolite products.
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. The funding will support inventory expansion, additional leasehold acquisitions in Alaska and Montana, potential capacity increases at the Madero Smelter, strategic acquisitions, and general working capital. This latest capital raise represents the third major institutional investment in the company over the past 45 days, bringing the total raised to $69.25 million from two major institutions at progressively higher share prices.
Chairman and CEO Gary C. Evans emphasized the significance of this funding round in strengthening the company's institutional shareholder base. The consistent investment interest at increasing share prices demonstrates growing confidence in US Antimony's strategic direction and market position. 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, with additional operations through its Bear River Zeolite facility in Idaho.
The timing of this capital infusion is particularly important given the critical nature of antimony in various industrial applications. Antimony oxide serves as a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper, while also functioning as a color fastener in paint and a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Antimony metal finds application in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance, while antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. The company's expansion into zeolite mining and processing adds another dimension to its operations, with zeolite used in water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, soil amendment and fertilizer applications.
During 2024 and 2025, the company began acquiring mining claims and leases located in Montana, Alaska and Ontario, Canada as part of its expansion strategy. The new funding will accelerate these efforts, positioning US Antimony to capitalize on growing demand for critical minerals. 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.

The successful completion of this funding round underscores the increasing importance of domestic critical minerals production. As global supply chains face ongoing challenges and demand for specialized industrial materials continues to grow, US Antimony's expanded financial resources position the company to play a more significant role in meeting domestic needs for antimony, zeolite, and precious metals. The company's multi-faceted approach to mineral processing and strategic expansion across North American jurisdictions reflects a comprehensive strategy to strengthen its market position while contributing to supply chain resilience in critical industrial sectors.
