THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2024 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC", or the "Company"), (NYSE American:UAMY) announced today the acquisition of, through a helicopter supported staking program, 69 State of Alaska mining claims, covering 11,040 acres (17.25 square miles). UAMY personnel were attracted to the area upon the recommendation of consulting geologists who had many years of Alaskan field experience, and by studying historical State of Alaska geological reconnaissance, mapping, sampling and assaying reports. One of the prime targets of the staking program was an 8-foot-wide quartz vein with very high copper values that the company geologists had previously examined. Assay values of 13 samples collected by the State geologists, from the quartz vein averaged 16.5% copper with 0.076 opt gold and 2.21 opt silver. Copper is one of the minerals on the U.S. Department of Energy Critical Minerals List.
2024年8月21日 / 美国联合锑公司("USAC")宣布,通过直升机支持的采矿权程序,收购了69个阿拉斯加州政府采矿权,总面积11,040英亩(17.25平方英里)。USAC人员根据咨询地质学家的建议和研究阿拉斯加州的历史地质勘查、绘图、取样和化验报告,对该地区产生了兴趣。采矿权计划的重点之一是一条8英尺宽的石英脉,其含铜值非常高,公司地质学家此前已经调查过。根据州地质学家采集的13个样品的化验值,石英脉的平均含铜值为16.5%,每吨黄金含量为0.076盎司,每吨银含量为2.21盎司。铜是美国能源部的临界矿物清单上的一种矿物。
Access to this high-grade copper exposure is particularly favorable in open to moderate terrain. The company's consulting geologists were able to drive (without the use of 4WD) to within walking distance of the quartz vein via 10 miles of existing resource roads from a major highway.
在开放到中等地势的地方,这个高品位铜矿的开放性特别有利。公司的咨询地质学家不使用4WD即可驾驶到离石英脉很近的地方,通过利用现有资源公路行驶10英里,就可以到达一条重要的高速公路。
Commenting on the new mining leases acquired by the Company today, Mr. Joe Bardswich, P.E., a Director and Co-CEO of USAC stated, "Similar to our recent acquisition of mining claims with high grades of critical minerals located in Ontario, Canada, announced last week (see Press Release dated August 13, 2024), these Alaskan properties continue to expand our in-house strategic mineral reserve options. Alaskan citizens are very much aware of the importance of natural resources to the national security of this nation. State rules, regulations and the attitudes of citizens encourage environmentally responsible development without the many years of red tape found under other jurisdictions. The State of Alaska is under-explored, and we are considering other mining opportunities located in Alaska. We are currently having initial discussions with other claim holders within the area of interest regarding possible acquisitions, options or joint ventures.
关于公司今天收购的新矿山租赁,USAC的董事兼联合首席执行官乔·巴德斯维奇先生表示:“与我们上周宣布的位于加拿大安大略省的高品位临界矿物采矿权相似,这些阿拉斯加物业继续扩大了我们的内部战略矿产储备选择。阿拉斯加居民非常清楚自然资源对该国的国家安全的重要性。州规则、法规以及公民的态度鼓励在其他地区需要多年的繁文缛节下进行负责任的环境友好型开发。阿拉斯加州尚未充分开发,我们正在考虑在阿拉斯加州的其他采矿机会。我们目前正在与该区域内其他矿权持有人进行初步讨论,以探讨可能的收购、期权或合资企业。
This second announcement of new mining claims by the Company, also associated with Critical Minerals, gives our company and its shareholders an additional mining option on home grown territory. With the recent decision by China to curtail worldwide sales of antimony, we are better understanding the importance of immediate access to critical minerals necessary not only for our military in munitions, but for everyday necessities such as batteries, fire retardants, computer chips, etc. We are not in a free market when China controls so much of these materials around the world and then dictates when and how they will be sold.
公司发布了新的采矿权声明的第二份通告,这也与关键矿产有关,给了我们公司及股东在国内领土上的另一种采矿选择。随着中国最近决定限制全球锑的销售,我们更加理解立即获取必要的关键矿产的重要性,这些矿产不仅对我们的军工在军火方面至关重要,而且对日常必需品如电池、阻燃剂、计算机芯片等也是必需的。当中国在全球范围内控制这么多材料并决定何时以及如何出售时,我们并不处于自由市场。
