United States Antimony earlier in the week announced the closing of a property acquisition of a critical minerals flotation facility. The property and equipment which is located in Radersburg, Montana, between Helena and Bozeman, Montana, is fully operational, and was acquired for $4.75 million in cash, it said in a statement.
The company also said that it has budgeted approximately $2 million in future capital expenditures to make specific equipment improvements to this facility.
The Radersburg Mill is a mineral processing facility equipped with both gravity and flotation circuits enabling the concentration of many minerals including stibnite, the primary antimony mineral. The facility has crushing and grinding circuits that reduce the ore to small particles in order to "liberate" target minerals such as gold, silver, copper, tungsten or stibnite amongst many others, the company said.
