THOMPSON FALLS, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bear River Zeolite Co., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of United States
Antimony Corporation (OTCBB:UAMY), announced record sales of zeolite
from its Preston, Idaho deposit. During July and August the Company sold
a total of 3,067 tons of product worth $435,327. Sales and orders for
September could bring the third quarter revenue to more than $550,000.
Bear River zeolite is a natural occurring volcanic rock composed of the
mineral clinoptilolite that is a cation-exchange agent. It is regarded
by many as the finest grade of zeolite in the world. The Company is
expanding its’ customer base through research
and an aggressive sales approach. The plant capacity is more than 100
tons per day of granular sized products and more than 300 tons per day
of fine particle sizes. In the fine particle range, the plant produces
6, 15, 25, and 44-micron sizes. New markets may include plastics, insect
control, oil field remediation, and expanding applications for odor
control, animal nutrition, and soil amendments. On a sample basis, Bear
River is offering a new 3-micron product for use in plastic bags and
containers to adsorb ethylene gas from fruits and vegetables that causes
ripening and rotting. It may also control odors, adsorb other gasses and
act as a desiccant in the bags and containers. Plant improvements
include quality control, storage, safety, and many items that have
reduced costs.
Shipments of Bear River zeolite are being made to Europe, Asia, Canada,
Mexico and South America. The Company is getting more inquiries and
hopes to develop a much larger diversified market.
