Americas Gold and Silver Corporation announced promising results from recent metallurgical testing at its Galena Complex in Idaho, confirming over 90% antimony recovery from ore currently being processed. This breakthrough is significant because the company previously received no revenue and was penalized for the antimony content in its concentrates.
Antimony is designated as a critical mineral in the United States, with over 90% of its consumption currently imported. There are no operating mines producing primary antimony in the U.S. The test results indicate that a marketable antimony concentrate may now be possible using modern metallurgical processes, positioning Americas Gold and Silver to potentially become the only primary antimony producer in the country.
The Galena Complex has historically produced over 18 million pounds of antimony since 2001. The company's technical team is now advancing detailed technical and trade-off studies to develop a plan for the rapid commercial recovery and monetization of antimony, which would unlock a new revenue stream and enhance the strategic value of the Galena ore body.
