"This initial delivery is an important milestone and reflects how quickly we were able to move from agreement to execution," said Mac J. Shahsavar, P.Eng., CEO of American Antimony Corp. "The high-grade material supplied represents ore that is readily available across our Nevada project. We look forward to the results of the metallurgical program and to strengthening domestic antimony capabilities as testing progresses."
Metallurgical testing will be conducted through qualified third-party laboratories in accordance with the MTA. Subject to results and mutual agreement, additional shipments may follow as the program advances toward larger-scale validation.
