On October 14, 2025, Americas Gold and Silver Corporation announced that it has engaged Lot Sixteen, a Washington, D.C.-based government relations and communications firm, to initiate discussions with the U.S. Government regarding support for its antimony production and the construction of a dedicated antimony processing plant in Idaho’s Silver Valley. The company is the only antimony producer in the United States and has been producing antimony for over 80 years, underscoring the strategic importance of this partnership. The move signals a concerted effort to secure federal backing and potentially unlock funding for a new processing facility.
The proposed plant would handle Galena’s current antimony output and could accept feed from other sources, positioning USAS as a domestic hub for this critical mineral. Antimony is a federally recognized critical mineral with applications in defense, energy, and manufacturing, and a domestic processing facility could reduce import dependence and enhance national security. The engagement with Lot Sixteen is intended to advance antimony processing initiatives and secure government support for the project.
By pursuing this initiative, USAS aims to strengthen its competitive advantage and create a new revenue stream while reinforcing its role as a key supplier of critical minerals. The move could improve the company’s financial position by reducing costs associated with antimony transport and processing, and it aligns with the company’s broader strategy to become a leading high‑grade silver and antimony producer. The announcement marks a significant development in USAS’s strategic transformation and could have long‑term benefits for shareholders.
