Stock price is down now, but here's a way to still make good money on this stock.
I added more today. Granted, this is the lowest option I have written, as I have the $10's for the majority of my shares, and even the $15's for some shares in case it pops again like it did earlier this year. But still, this was worth adding more shares.
I bought 1500 shares in one account at $6.82. Cost $10,231.20. Also today sold the January 2027 calls at $7.50. Got $3,127.18 for those. That's $2.085 per share. My net investment today was $7,104.02. For 1,500 shares. Grand total I paid $4.736 per share today. From here, only two things can happen. On January 15th, in seven months, it is either above $7.50 per share or it is below $7.50 per share. Same as any price one chooses. If it is above $7.50 per share, and I very very much feel it will be with the contracts in hand and the revenue expected over the next six months. I will be forced to sell it at $7.50. Even if it went back to the highs of $19 (NOT my expectation), I would sell at $7.50. That is $11,250 to sell my shares. From my $7,104 investment (leaving off the 2 cents. LOL), that is a gain of $4,146. On the $7,104 I invested today, that is a gain of 58.36% on my money. I truly expect that is what shall happen. It is a long term option, out seven months, but making 58.36% in seven months is worth the wait. Other potential? It is below $7.50. If it is, I keep the option money, I own the stock at $7,104 for 1,500 shares, which means i own the stock at $4.736 per share. NOT a bad place to own the stock. Plus then I can AGAIN sell the option for another period of time, whether that be weeks (my norm) or seven months again.
The fact that you put money back in your pocket TODAY means you can leverage your buy. And the only two options are you sell the stock and make 58% in seven months, which I'm betting is higher than the average return for the YEAR for most people (Not all) or you own this stock at $4.74 per share. Both wins in my book. Barring that it doesn't go to $2 per share, which I am again NOT anticipating by any means, you are a huge winner.
It's a great way to buy more shares than you otherwise could, lock in a nice potential profit, and put money to work somewhere that you don't need to watch it daily. Plus, if you make the gain, it is a gain for NEXT year, if you are buying in a taxable account.
Anyway, that's what I did this morning. Is it right for you? I am NOT a financial advisor, and just share an idea that works for ME. You do as you wish and as your strategy is for you. Just sharing MY trading strategy on this downturn for MNY accounts, in CASE you have a similar strategy. I bought more shares in numerous accounts, but used the real numbers for one of them to show the potential of this trade. I share it, even though I don't normally share these option ideas, but this one is long term and REALLY makes sense for ME. And the price right now is $6.72, so even a little lower than my buy.
Good luck to all longs. However you wish to play it, hopefully we will be above the $10 level by year end, not just the $7.50 level, and we all make some good money.

The Metal You've Never Heard Of Is Becoming a National-Security Priority -- and America Barely Mines ItJune 12, 2026 10:20 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of NevGold Corp.Antimony goes into ammunition, flame retardants, and next-generation batteries — and the United States produces almost none of it. A wave of capital is now chasing the few companies that could change that.ELKO COUNTY, Nev., June 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- American News Group News Commentary — Gold gets the headlines. Antimony gets the strategic memos. While investors spent the past two years watching bullion set records, a far more obscure metal quietly became one of the most geopolitically charged materials on the periodic table. Antimony is essential to military ordnance, flame retardants, semiconductors, and a new generation of grid-scale batteries — and the United States, by most accounts, mines effectively none of it domestically while leaning on imports from countries that have shown a willingness to use that dependence as leverage. That combination, scarcity plus strategic necessity, has turned a once-overlooked byproduct metal into a national priority, and it is reshaping how investors look at a small group of North American developers. Among the companies stepping into that gap is NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50), a Vancouver-based exploration and development company whose flagship Limousine Butte project in eastern Nevada has, over the past year, transformed from a gold story into a gold-and-antimony story — and, increasingly, into a bet on whether America can rebuild a domestic supply chain for a metal it has almost entirely outsourced. The trajectory of NevGold's field, and of the company's own positioning within it, is a window into one of the most under-appreciated corners of the critical-minerals boom.Why Antimony Suddenly MattersFor decades, antimony was treated as an industrial afterthought — a metal used to harden lead, retard flames, and clarify glass, sourced cheaply from abroad and rarely discussed. That complacency ended abruptly when the metal's supply chain collided with geopolitics. China dominates global antimony production and processing, and when export controls tightened, Western governments were confronted with an uncomfortable reality: a material critical to defense and energy applications was overwhelmingly controlled by a single strategic rival. The United States formally classifies antimony as a critical mineral, and its applications read like a list of national-security priorities — ammunition and military hardware, night-vision and infrared, flame retardants, and emerging long-duration energy storage.The result has been a scramble to rebuild domestic and allied supply. The clearest signal came in May 2026, when Perpetua Resources secured an approximately US$2.9 billion senior secured loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States under the "Make More in America" initiative to advance its Stibnite gold-antimony project in Idaho — a project widely described as the only large-scale domestic antimony resource. When the U.S. government commits billions to a single antimony project, it is making a statement about how seriously it now treats the supply gap. And it casts a spotlight on every other company with a credible domestic antimony story, because one project alone cannot close the gap.NevGold's Place in the PictureNevGold's flagship Limousine Butte, or "Limo Butte," sits in White Pine County in eastern Nevada — a brownfield site that hosted a previously mined open-pit, heap-leach gold operation in the late 1980s. That history is central to the company's pitch. Because the site was mined before, it comes with existing disturbance and infrastructure, and crucially, with historical gold leach pads whose material was never processed for antimony. NevGold believes that at-surface, already-mined material could offer an unusually fast path to antimony output, and the company has publicly targeted potential near-term U.S. antimony production within roughly 12 to 18 months, ahead of the multi-year timelines that typically govern new mines.The technical results have supported the thesis. NevGold has reported high-grade, near-surface oxide antimony-gold intercepts — including a headline interval of 1.93 grams per tonne gold-equivalent over 100.6 metres from surface at its Resurrection Ridge area, and a separate hole grading 4.91 g/t gold-equivalent over 27.4 metres — and metallurgical testwork indicating that antimony and gold can be sequentially recovered from the same feed stream, with gold recoveries above 93% after antimony leaching. CEO Brandon Bonifacio has framed Limo Butte as one of the highest-grade antimony projects in North America that is both near-surface and oxide, attributes that tend to simplify processing. The company is advancing toward a maiden antimony-gold mineral resource estimate expected in mid-2026 — a milestone that would, for the first time, put defined numbers around the opportunity.*Gold equivalents ("AuEq") referenced herein are as disclosed in the Company's news release and are based on assumed metals prices of US$3,000/oz of gold and US$40,000 per tonne of antimony, and assumed metals recoveries of 80% for gold and 75% for antimony.Behind that work sits a strengthened balance sheet. In the spring of 2026, NevGold upsized a brokered private placement to C$42 million, providing capital to fund a 20,000-metre drill program focused on resource conversion, expansion of its 2025 Bullet Zone and Armory Fault discoveries, and new targets across a consolidated land package. For a junior explorer, a well-funded treasury paired with a clear catalyst calendar is exactly what allows a strategic thesis to be tested rather than merely talked about.The Field NevGold Is Competing InNevGold is one of a cohort of companies racing to build Western-aligned supply for critical and precious metals, and looking at how a few peers are positioned helps frame both the opportunity and the scale of the challenge.Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) is the defining reference point for the domestic-antimony thesis. Its Stibnite project in Idaho — a dual gold-and-antimony asset — secured an approximately US$2.9 billion EXIM loan in 2026 and is positioned as the flagship of America's antimony-reshoring effort. Perpetua operates at a scale and stage well beyond NevGold, but it validates the entire category: it demonstrates that the U.S. government is prepared to back domestic antimony with serious capital, which is precisely the tailwind a near-term developer like NevGold is trying to ride.United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) is one of the few public companies with a long operating history specifically in antimony processing, running smelting and processing operations in North America. As an established, antimony-focused name, it illustrates the downstream side of the supply chain — the processing and refining capacity that any domestic antimony revival will ultimately need — and underscores that the bottleneck is not only mining but the ability to turn ore into usable product on home soil.Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE American: USAS) (TSX: USA) represents the producing end of the domestic-antimony story. A growing North American silver, copper, and antimony producer, its flagship Galena Complex in Idaho is described as the largest active antimony-producing mine in the United States, and in 2026 the company formed a joint venture with United States Antimony to build a domestic antimony processing hub — a "mine-to-finished product" solution — while reporting a breakthrough in high-purity antimony extraction from its concentrate. As an established producer already generating U.S. antimony units, Americas Gold and Silver illustrates the production-stage end of the spectrum that an earlier-stage developer like NevGold is working toward.Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) rounds out the group as the tungsten-focused analogue — another China-dominated critical metal with heavy defense exposure. Almonty's move from development into production at its flagship mine, and the strong investor response to Western critical-metal supply stories, offers a template for how a single-commodity, supply-security narrative can re-rate as it crosses from exploration toward output. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they span different metals, stages, and sizes, and NevGold sits among the earlier-stage, pre-resource names.Gold as the Anchor, Antimony as the CatalystIt would be a mistake to read NevGold purely as an antimony story. The company's projects are anchored in gold — a metal enjoying its own historic run — and the oxide, heap-leachable nature of much of Limo Butte's mineralization is what makes the economics potentially attractive in the first place. The elegance of the thesis is that antimony does not replace the gold case; it layers a strategic, policy-supported second metal on top of it. In an environment where investors prize both precious-metal exposure and critical-mineral leverage, a project that credibly offers both occupies unusually attractive ground.That said, the usual cautions for a junior developer apply in full. NevGold is an exploration and development company; it does not yet have a defined antimony-gold resource, its near-term production ambitions depend on successful metallurgy, engineering, and permitting, and exploration outcomes are inherently uncertain. Drill results, however encouraging, are not reserves, and timelines can slip. The forward-looking nature of the company's production targets means investors should weigh the strategic appeal against meaningful execution risk.A Sector at an Inflection PointStep back, and the larger trajectory is hard to miss. A metal that almost no one discussed five years ago is now the subject of billion-dollar government loans, export-control headlines, and a scramble for domestic supply. The question facing the sector is no longer whether antimony matters — policymakers have answered that — but which companies can actually deliver domestic ounces and tonnes, and how quickly. NevGold has placed itself in that conversation with a near-surface, oxide, brownfield project, a funded drill program, and a maiden resource estimate on the horizon. Whether it converts that positioning into production remains to be proven, but the current carrying the sector is unmistakable: the United States has decided it needs to make more of this overlooked metal at home, and the developers positioned to help are stepping into one of the more compelling supply-security stories in the market.CONTINUED … Learn more about NevGold Corp. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/nau-landing/SEE WHAT THE MARKET IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE IT MOVESEagle Eye reads social, forum, and news chatter across thousands of investor conversations in real time — and surfaces the tickers the crowd is piling into, along with the sentiment and catalysts behind them.Explore Eagle Eye free (for now) at https://Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:

United States Antimony Corporation Provides Status Update on New Antimony SmelterJune 9, 2026 8:00 AM
ACCESS Newswire"The Critical Minerals and ZEO Company"
~ Antimony, Cobalt, Gold, Tungsten, and Zeolite ~DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2026 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC," "US Antimony," or the "Company"), (NYSE:UAMY) (NYSE Texas:UAMY), a leading producer and processor of antimony, zeolite, and other critical minerals, and the only fully integrated antimony company in the world outside of China and Russia, announced today that it has begun commissioning of the newly constructed Thompson Falls antimony smelter back in May by firing up the first of nine new state-of-the-art gas fired furnaces. A total of five furnaces are anticipated to be commissioned by the end of this week. The commissioning process started by rotating the furnaces in an effort to get them all running properly so "bugs" could be quickly worked out. We have been finding a number of minor things to fix or modify, and these changes are being applied daily to each new furnace. As additional internal parts and heat exchangers are delivered by third party contractors to the property over the next few weeks, the entire new addition (nine total furnaces) is anticipated to be up and running by month end.Management has recently decided to defer the previously planned renovation of the older existing smeltering facility located at Thompson Falls until sometime in 2027, in order to allow higher volumes of output of finished products from the two facilities located in Thompson Falls in fiscal 2026. This decision will enhance our ability to meet the demands from both industrial and military customers of our various products.USAC was awarded $27 million from the Department of War on March 5, 2026 (see Press Release of same date) to fund a significant portion of the cost associated with this expansion effort now basically complete. Of that amount awarded, the Company has received $12.9 million to-date in milestone payments.Commenting on the status of the new antimony smelter at USAC, Mr. Jeff Fink, Vice President of the Company and managing engineer of this expansion effort, stated, "We started the engineering and planning of our additional smelter in May of last year. The primary equipment utilized in the new operation is not off the shelf; it is customized. To accomplish this feat within a year is a significant milestone. Improvements over and above our existing smelter operations here in Thompson Falls include 300% capacity increase per furnace, improved thermal efficiency, reduced labor per ton, and reduced overall emissions. When both facilities are at full capacity, we will be running fifteen furnaces and increasing output by three to four times historical production."About USAC:United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada ("USAC," "U.S. Antimony," the "Company," "Our," "Us," or "We") sell antimony, zeolite, and precious metals primarily in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The Company mines, purchases, and processes ore primarily into antimony oxide, antimony metal, antimony trisulfide, and precious metals at its facilities located in Montana and Mexico. Antimony oxide is used to form a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper, as a color fastener in paint, and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. Antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. The Company also recovers precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at its Montana facility from third party ore. At its Bear River Zeolite ("BRZ") facility located in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, soil amendment and fertilizer, and other miscellaneous applications. Beginning in 2024 and continuing in 2025, the Company acquired mining claims, real properties (patented claims) and leases located in Alaska, Montana, and Ontario, Canada in an effort to reduce the cost of third-party antimony ore purchases and to expand its product offerings.Learn more about United States Antimony Corporation at www.usantimony.com.Forward-Looking Statements:This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future operations, production levels, financial performance, business strategy, market conditions, demand for antimony, zeolite, other critical minerals, and precious metals, expected costs, and other statements that are not historical facts.

America's Antimony Gap Is Washington's Problem -- and NevGold Is Racing to Help Close ItJune 5, 2026 11:12 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50)With a freshly funded treasury, a 20,000-meter drill program underway and a maiden antimony-gold resource targeted for Q2, a Nevada brownfield project is positioning itself near the front of a very short line of domestic antimony hopefuls.VANCOUVER, BC, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American News Group News Commentary – There is a strategic vulnerability buried in the supply chain of nearly every modern weapons system, and Washington has finally started treating it like one. The metal is antimony — a hardener for munitions, a component in flame retardants, night-vision gear and a long list of defense applications — and the United States does not have a single operating primary antimony mine. That gap is precisely the opportunity that NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50) has spent the past several months racing to address at its Limousine Butte project in Nevada. The Backstory: From Gold Explorer to Critical-Minerals Contender
NevGold is a Vancouver-based exploration and development company with a portfolio of 100%-owned projects across Nevada and Idaho, led by the Limousine Butte gold-antimony project in Nevada and the Nutmeg Mountain gold project in Idaho. What began as a gold story has, over the past year, evolved into something more strategically charged. As drilling at Limo Butte repeatedly returned not just gold but meaningful antimony grades, the company recognized it was sitting on something the U.S. government increasingly wants: a domestic, at-surface source of a critical mineral that is overwhelmingly controlled by China.Limo Butte is a brownfield site — a former mine with existing disturbance and historical infrastructure — hosting near-surface oxide mineralization amenable to leaching. That combination matters. Brownfield status can ease permitting and shorten timelines, while oxide, heap-leachable material is generally cheaper and faster to process than refractory, sulphide ore. The company has framed the project around a two-part thesis: near-term antimony production from historical leach pads, followed by broader gold-antimony development across the wider property.The News: A Catalyst-Dense Stretch
NevGold has packed an unusual amount of news into a short window. In May, the company closed an upsized brokered private placement of approximately C$42 million, giving it one of the stronger treasuries among junior antimony-gold developers and removing the financing overhang that so often stalls exploration plays at exactly the wrong moment. Around the same time, it commenced a 20,000-meter drill program at Limo Butte, with a streamlined focus on resource building, expansion and new discoveries.On the technical side, the company has reported consistent oxide antimony-gold mineralization from the historic crushed leach pad — including an interval of 0.32% antimony and 0.39 g/t gold over 14.9 meters — and, in late May, striking surface sampling results from the historical Pre-Strip Dump, with grades reported up to 53.7% antimony and fourteen samples exceeding 2% antimony. Earlier metallurgical testwork had indicated up to 99% gold recovery and a processing sequence in which antimony can be leached first with minimal impact on subsequent gold recovery — a potential pathway to near-term antimony output followed by gold extraction.Crucially, the company has reiterated that its maiden antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate remains targeted for the second quarter of 2026, a milestone that would convert a steady stream of drill headlines into a defined, quantifiable resource. Investors tracking that catalyst can follow the company's progress through its American News Group profile page.Why It Matters Now: A Policy Tailwind With Real Money Behind It
Antimony has moved from obscure industrial input to front-page strategic priority. It is classified as a top-priority critical mineral by the U.S. Geological Survey and prioritized by U.S. defense authorities, and the urgency intensified after China tightened its grip on antimony exports. The policy response is no longer rhetorical — it now comes with capital. The clearest signal arrived when the board of the U.S. Export-Import Bank approved a US$2.9 billion loan commitment in support of Perpetua Resources' Stibnite gold-antimony project in Idaho, a landmark vote of federal confidence in domestic antimony supply.NevGold publicly congratulated Perpetua on that milestone while positioning its own at-surface oxide Limo Butte project as a complementary, potentially faster-to-first-production story. The logic is straightforward: the United States needs more than one domestic antimony source, and projects that can reach production quickly — brownfield, oxide, heap-leachable — carry strategic weight out of proportion to their size. More technical and project background is available on the company's investor landing page.The China Factor
To understand why a Nevada brownfield project is suddenly strategically interesting, it helps to understand how concentrated antimony supply has become. China has long dominated global antimony mining and processing, and when it moved to restrict exports of the metal, the effect rippled quickly through Western defense and industrial supply chains. Antimony is not easily substituted in many of its uses — it hardens lead in munitions and batteries, plays a role in flame retardants, and is essential to certain night-vision and infrared applications — which means a supply squeeze is not merely an inconvenience but a national-security concern. Prices responded accordingly, climbing to levels that transformed the economics of projects that had languished for years.That repricing is the backdrop against which NevGold's Limo Butte results should be read. Surface samples grading as high as 53.7% antimony are extraordinary by any historical standard, and while grab and grid samples are selective by nature and not necessarily representative of the broader deposit, they point to the presence of very high-grade antimony at surface on a site that has already been disturbed by prior mining. For a country with zero operating primary antimony mines, even a modest domestic source carries strategic value that its tonnage alone would not capture.Inside Limousine Butte
Limo Butte's appeal is rooted in a combination of factors that rarely appear together. It is located in Nevada, consistently ranked among the world's most attractive mining jurisdictions for its geology, infrastructure and permitting environment. It is a brownfield site, meaning prior disturbance and historical data reduce some of the uncertainty and timeline risk that greenfield projects face. And its mineralization is oxide and near-surface — the kind of material that lends itself to lower-cost heap-leach processing rather than the capital-intensive flotation and roasting required for refractory ores.The company's near-term thesis centers on the historical leach pads and waste dumps left behind by past operations, which appear to contain significant antimony that was never the target when the site was mined for gold decades ago. Recovering antimony from already-mined material is, in principle, one of the fastest possible routes to production, since much of the heavy lifting of extraction has already been done. Layered on top of that is the broader exploration upside across the wider property, where the ongoing 20,000-meter program is testing for resource expansion and new discoveries using the geological model NevGold has refined through successive drill campaigns. The interplay between a quick-to-production leach-pad scenario and a larger conventional resource is what gives the project two distinct ways to create value.The Peer Group
NevGold sits within a small cohort of companies that federal capital and defense planners are watching closely. Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) is the most advanced of the group, advancing its Stibnite gold-antimony project in Idaho with the backing of that US$2.9 billion EXIM loan commitment and expectations of supplying a meaningful share of U.S. antimony demand in its early production years. United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) operates antimony smelting and processing capacity in North America and has been expanding its domestic footprint as demand for non-Chinese supply accelerates.Beyond the pure antimony names, the comparison broadens to critical-minerals developers tying resource projects to defense demand. Almonty Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: ALM) is best known for tungsten but is squarely part of the Western critical-minerals supply-chain build-out, while Nova Minerals Limited (Nasdaq: NVA) has advanced an antimony-gold angle at its Estelle project in Alaska, drawing its own share of government interest. Against that backdrop, NevGold's distinguishing features are its brownfield, at-surface oxide setting and its explicit near-term production framing — attributes that, if borne out by the coming resource estimate, could position it as one of the more execution-ready names in the domestic antimony conversation.The Bottom Line
NevGold has assembled the ingredients that junior-mining investors look for in a catalyst window: a funded treasury, an active drill program, consistent grades, a clear near-term production thesis and a maiden resource estimate on the near horizon — all set against a policy backdrop in which Washington is actively writing checks for domestic antimony. None of that guarantees an economic mine; resource estimates, metallurgy, permitting and commodity prices all still have to cooperate. But few junior developers are as well-positioned to capitalize on America's antimony gap.

As America Pursues Mineral Independence, A US$2.9 Billion EXIM Loan Signals the Next Phase for Domestic Critical Mineral ProjectsMay 27, 2026 9:10 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of NevGold Corp.Washington's commitment to rebuilding a secure American antimony supply chain is creating renewed investor focus on advanced U.S. critical mineral projects — with multiple domestic developers, not just one, expected to be required to close the structural supply gap.NEW YORK, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — America's push to secure domestic critical mineral supply chains continues to accelerate as rising geopolitical tensions, trade disputes and strategic competition reshape global industrial priorities. At the center of that effort is a growing U.S. objective: reducing dependence on foreign-controlled critical mineral supply chains, particularly those tied to China. For years, China has played an outsized role across the global critical minerals ecosystem — mining, refining, processing and downstream supply chains tied to materials used in defense systems, advanced manufacturing, industrial technologies and energy infrastructure. As trade tensions, tariffs, export controls and broader economic competition between Washington and Beijing have intensified, concerns surrounding mineral security have moved squarely into focus. Critical minerals are no longer viewed strictly as industrial commodities; they are increasingly discussed through the lenses of national security, economic resilience and supply chain independence.That changing backdrop is creating renewed investor interest across the domestic critical minerals sector — and Washington just put a major exclamation point on it. On May 21, 2026, the Board of the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("EXIM") unanimously approved a US$2.9 billion senior secured long-term loan to support the development of Perpetua Resources Corp.'s (NASDAQ: PPTA) Stibnite Gold-Antimony Project in Idaho under EXIM's "Make More in America" Initiative. [1] The 13-year facility, combined with Perpetua's existing cash, is expected to fully fund direct construction of the project, which is designed to produce gold and the nation's only reported domestic reserve of the critical mineral antimony. [1]For investors following the space, the financing represents far more than support for a single asset. It reinforces a broader federal commitment to rebuilding American access to strategic mineral resources — and confirms that antimony, in particular, has moved from an industrial afterthought to a national security priority.But the investment narrative may extend well beyond one project alone.If the United States intends to meaningfully reduce reliance on foreign-controlled critical mineral supply chains, industry observers — and the U.S. government itself — suggest multiple domestic projects will ultimately be required. Even Perpetua's flagship Stibnite Project, large as it is, will not on its own close the structural antimony supply deficit facing American manufacturers and defense contractors.Why Antimony — and the Broader Critical Mineral Theme — Matters Right NowAntimony has emerged as a flashpoint in the broader critical mineral story for a simple reason: there is currently only one active antimony smelter in the United States, and China has historically dominated global supply of the metal, which is essential to ammunition primers, flame retardants, hardened lead alloys, and a wide range of defense applications. Geopolitical risk around that concentration has been escalating — even as China has signaled a temporary easing of certain antimony export measures, broader licensing controls and military-end-user restrictions remain in place, leaving Western buyers structurally exposed.That exposure is exactly what the EXIM loan was designed to begin addressing. As NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50) noted in its May 22, 2026 commentary on the Perpetua financing, "The US$2.9 billion EXIM commitment underscores the strategic importance of antimony and the need for multiple domestic sources to close the large supply deficit in the United States. Even with Stibnite moving toward production, the antimony supply gap remains substantial now and into the future." [2]That observation is drawing increasing attention toward emerging American resource developers advancing projects positioned within the critical minerals theme — particularly those with near-term production optionality rather than decade-long development timelines.NevGold Corp. and the Limousine Butte Project: A Near-Term Antimony Production Pathway in NevadaOne company working to position itself within the evolving American critical minerals landscape is NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50).The Vancouver-based exploration and development company is advancing its 100%-owned Limousine Butte Project ("Limo Butte") in Nevada, where it is nearing completion of a maiden antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") targeted for Q2 2026. [3] On May 21, 2026, NevGold also announced the commencement of a roughly 20,000-meter 2026 drill program at Limo Butte focused on resource building, expansion and new discoveries. [4]What differentiates Limo Butte within the broader landscape of global antimony projects, per the Company, comes down to three structural attributes:Oxide antimony-gold mineralization — avoiding the complexity and cost of sulphide processing and downstream smelting, a particularly relevant advantage given there is only one active antimony smelter operating in the United States today. [2]At-surface, historically mined material in the gold leach pads — previously stacked and crushed for historical gold operations but never processed for antimony, providing a potential rapid pathway to near-term antimony production from existing surface feedstock. [2]A straightforward permitting and environmental landscape in Nevada — supporting what NevGold describes as an efficient development timeline that could position Limo Butte as one of the nearest-term antimony production opportunities in the United States over the next 12 to 18 months. [2]Underlying technical results have been supportive. In April 2026, NevGold reported drill intercepts at Limousine Butte's Resurrection Ridge target including 1.93 g/t gold-equivalent over 100.6 meters from surface, with 1.11% antimony over 6.1 meters within that intercept. [5] Subsequent Phase II metallurgical testwork on oxide antimony-gold material from the historical leach pads returned average gold recoveries above 93% — with individual samples reaching 99% — and acid-leach antimony extraction ranging from 54% to 92% across the tested samples. [6]On the financial side, NevGold completed an upsized C$42.2 million financing earlier this quarter, which the Company says removes the near-term treasury overhang through the maiden MRE, continued drilling and metallurgical testwork at Limo Butte, plus continued advancement at its Idaho-based Nutmeg Mountain gold project. [7]NevGold CEO Brandon Bonifacio summarized the Company's positioning following the EXIM announcement: "Perpetua has played a foundational role in establishing the framework for a U.S. antimony supply chain, and we congratulate their team on this important milestone. Advanced U.S. antimony projects must co-exist to achieve true mineral independence and security for America." [2]Critical Mineral Investors Continue Watching Sector PeersBeyond NevGold, several U.S.-listed names continue attracting investor attention within the broader critical minerals and strategic supply chain discussion.Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ: PPTA) became the centerpiece of the conversation following the EXIM Board's May 21, 2026 unanimous approval of the US$2.9 billion senior secured loan for the Stibnite Gold Project — structured as a 13-year facility with a US$2.4 billion upfront component and the remainder covering capitalized interest during construction and EXIM's exposure fee. [1] Combined with Perpetua's existing cash holdings, the package is structured to fully fund the project's US$2.5 billion direct construction cost. [1]United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE: UAMY) (NYSE Texas: UAMY) has continued building out what it describes as the only fully integrated antimony producer outside of China and Russia. [8] On May 14, 2026, the Dallas-based company reported Q1 2026 results highlighting the completion of the first two delivery notices under its US$245 million Defense Logistics Agency contract, US$12.8 million in Department of War grant milestones achieved at the Thompson Falls expansion, and approximately US$48.6 million in post-quarter equity proceeds, while reiterating full-year 2026 gross revenue guidance of US$125 million. [9]Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA) announced on May 11, 2026 the successful completion of its 2026 winter freight mobilization to the Estelle Project in Alaska, delivering approximately 1.5 million pounds of heavy equipment and supplies needed for antimony ore mining, extraction and processing under a US$43.4 million U.S. Department of War award. [10] The company is targeting initial antimony production from Estelle in late 2026 or 2027 and is one of only two U.S. projects to receive that level of Department of War antimony funding. [11]Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE American: USAS) (TSX: USA) reported record Q1 2026 silver production of approximately 787,000 ounces, up 76% year-over-year, alongside material progress on its 51%-owned antimony processing joint venture in Idaho's Silver Valley formed with United States Antimony in February 2026. [12] On May 22, 2026, the Company announced it had reached an agreement with Sprott Mining to terminate the remaining 592,000-ounce obligation under its Silver Delivery Agreement in exchange for common shares — converting a stream obligation into equity and freeing capital for reinvestment in Galena, Crescent and Cosalá. [13]A Sector Narrative That May Continue BuildingTrade tensions between the United States and China, concerns surrounding foreign supply dependence, reshoring initiatives, defense considerations and now a US$2.9 billion federal loan commitment are reshaping how investors evaluate strategic resource opportunities. The EXIM approval for Perpetua signals that Washington is willing to put significant capital behind the rebuild of a domestic antimony supply chain — and given the size of the structural deficit, multiple projects, not just one, will likely be required to deliver true mineral independence.For developers like NevGold, with a near-term antimony production pathway anchored by oxide material at surface in a permitting-friendly U.S. jurisdiction, that narrative may continue to translate into meaningful investor focus through the balance of 2026.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for NevGold Corp. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/nau-landing/Article Sources[1] Perpetua Resources Corp. press release, May 21, 2026 — "Export Import Bank of the United States Approves $2.9 Billion Loan for Development of Perpetua Resources' Stibnite Gold Project": https://www.investors.perpetuaresources.com/investors/news/export-import-bank-of-the-united-states-approves-loan-for-development-of-perpetua-resources-stibnite-gold-project[2] NevGold Corp. press release, May 22, 2026 — "NevGold Congratulates Perpetua Resources On US$2.9 Billion Loan for the Gold-Antimony Stibnite Project in Idaho; NevGold Rapidly Advancing its At-Surface Oxide, Antimony-Gold Limo Butte Project to Near-Term U.S. Production" (GlobeNewswire).[3] NevGold Corp. press release, March 19, 2026 — confirming initial antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate at Limousine Butte on schedule for Q2-2026; reaffirmed in subsequent NevGold disclosures including the May 22, 2026 release referenced above.[4] NevGold Corp. press release, May 21, 2026 — "NevGold Commences 20,000 Meter Drill Program at Antimony-Gold Limo Butte Project, Nevada; Streamlined Focus on Resource Building, Expansion, and New Discoveries" (GlobeNewswire).[5] NevGold Corp. press release, April 9, 2026 — "NevGold Intercepts 1.11% Antimony Over 6.1 Meters, Within 1.93 g/t AuEq Over 100.6 Meters (1.07 g/t Au And 0.22% Antimony) From Surface" (GlobeNewswire).[6] NevGold Corp. press release, April 2, 2026 — "NevGold Announces Up to 99% Gold Recovery From Phase II Metallurgical Testwork on Oxide Antimony-Gold; Identifies More Antimony Mineralization At Surface In Historical Gold Waste Dump" (GlobeNewswire).[7] NevGold Corp. press release, May 12, 2026 — "NevGold Announces Closing of Upsized $42M Brokered Private Placement Financing" (gross proceeds C$42,225,497) (GlobeNewswire).[8] United States Antimony Corporation corporate description — self-described as "the only fully integrated antimony company in the world outside of China and Russia," May 14, 2026 Q1 2026 earnings press release (ACCESS Newswire).[9] United States Antimony Corporation press release, May 14, 2026 — "United States Antimony Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results" (ACCESS Newswire).[10] Nova Minerals Limited press release, May 11, 2026 — winter freight mobilization to the Estelle Project completed (~1.5 million pounds delivered) (GlobeNewswire).[11] Nova Minerals Limited corporate disclosures, May 2026 — US$43.4 million U.S. Department of War antimony award; targeted antimony production late 2026/2027.[12] Americas Gold and Silver Corporation press release, April 16, 2026 — "Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Announces New Record Quarterly Silver Production and Sales, Including 787,000 Ounces Produced and 830,000 Ounces Sold"; February 2026 51/49 joint venture with United States Antimony to build a mine-to-finished-product antimony processing hub at Galena (Newsfile Corp.).[13] Americas Gold and Silver Corporation press release, May 22, 2026 — "Americas Gold and Silver Announces Agreement with Sprott Mining Inc. to Terminate Silver Delivery Agreement" (Newsfile Corp.).DISCLAIMERNothing in this publication should be considered as personalized financial advice.

~ Antimony, Cobalt, Gold, Tungsten, and Zeolite ~DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC," "US Antimony Corporation," or the "Company") (NYSE:UAMY)(NYSE Texas:UAMY), a leading producer and processor of antimony, zeolite, and other critical minerals, and the only fully integrated antimony company in the world outside of China and Russia, today reported its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.First Quarter 2026 HighlightsRevenues of $6.8 million, compared to $7.0 million in Q1 2025Gross profit of $1.1 million (16% gross margin), compared to $2.4 million (34% gross margin) in Q1 2025Operating loss of $7.5 million, compared to operating income of $0.4 million in Q1 2025Net loss of $11.3 million, including $9.3 million of net non-cash items, compared to net income of $0.6 million in Q1 2025Achieved $12.8 million (out of $27 Million) in Department of War ("DoW") grant milestones at the Thompson Falls expansion project, recognized as a grant receivable with a corresponding reduction to construction in progress (PP&E)Acquired the Radersburg flotation mill in Montana for $4.8 million, further advancing the Company's vertical integration strategyCash and cash equivalents, including held-to-maturity U.S. Treasury securities of $23.7 million at quarter-end; Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company raised approximately $48.6 million of gross proceeds through the issuance of approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock at an average price of $11.57 per share. Total liquidity, pro forma for the post March 31, 2026 stock issuances is $108.7 million, including cash, U.S. Treasury securities and our Larvotto Resources Limited (ASX: LRV) marketable securities discussed subsequently in this release.Reiterating full-year 2026 gross revenue guidance of $125 millionStrategic OverviewDuring the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued to advance its strategy to build a fully integrated critical minerals platform supporting U.S. national security and supply chain resiliency. Key accomplishments during the quarter included the achievement of milestones under the Company's DoW grant program, the acquisition of the Radersburg flotation mill, first delivery notice to the DLA under the $245 Million Contract, the formation of a new hydrometallurgical joint venture with Americas Gold and Silver, and continued progress on the Thompson Falls smelter expansion, which is nearing completion and is expected to come online over the next few weeks. The company also provided a Technical Report Summary of its Fostung Tungsten project in April 2026 reflecting future potential revenues of $4.6 Billion over the life of the property, based on the assumptions detailed in the report.First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsRevenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $6.8 million, compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. Antimony segment revenues were $5.6 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period, with antimony pounds sold decreasing approximately 23% to 278,797 pounds from 362,647 pounds. The volume decline reflects timing of customer orders and shipments primarily, none of which were to the government. Average sales price per pound of antimony rose approximately 22% to $19.92 from $16.34.Cost of revenues increased to $5.67 million from $4.63 million, and gross profit decreased to $1.11 million from $2.37 million in Q1 2025. Gross margin of approximately 16% (down from 34% in the prior year period) primarily reflects higher antimony cost per pound sold, which rose approximately 69% to $16.28 from $9.66 as higher-cost ore moved through cost of sales. Q1 2026 gross margin did not benefit from any of the processing of the Company's in-house antimony mined in Montana or from any antimony deliveries under the Company's contract with the DLA. Both of these events are expected to begin contributing during the remaining quarters of 2026 as both Montana-based mining is processed and the Thompson Falls expansion comes online.Zeolite revenue was $1.0 million in Q1 2026 compared to $1.1 million in Q1 2025, driven by a 3% decrease in sales volume (tons sold of 3,681 versus 3,802) and 4% decrease in average sales price per ton. These sales have dramatically improved over the last sixty (60) days due to obtaining new customer relationships with the Company's expanded sales efforts.The Company's current antimony inventory is a combination sourced from international third-party suppliers as well as mined from the Company's owned Stibnite Hill, Montana mining claims. The value of our antimony inventory is approximately $21.7 million on March 31, 2026 compared to $12.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and $3.6 million as of March 31, 2025, a 80.8% increase and 502.8% increase, respectively.Operating expenses were $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period. The increase of $6.6 million reflects increased expense associated with the build-out of the Company's leadership team, which continues, and operational infrastructure necessary to execute the Company's vertical integration strategy. Operating expenses included approximately $4.8 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense (compared to $0.25 million in Q1 2025), reflecting expanded equity grants tied to leadership hiring and share price appreciation experienced during the period.The Company recorded an operating loss of $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating income of $0.4 million in the prior year period. Net loss attributable to the Company was $11.3 million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or nil per diluted share, in the prior year period. The Q1 2026 net loss includes approximately $9.3 million of net non-cash items, comprised principally of $4.8 million of share-based compensation expense, $4.1 million of unrealized loss on the Company's investment in marketable equity securities (Larvotto Resources Limited), and $0.4 million of depreciation and amortization.Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Subsequent EventsAt March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in held-to-maturity U.S. Treasury securities totaling liquid resources of $23.7 million. This compares to $30.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $20.4 million of held-to-maturity Treasury securities at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash during the quarter reflects $12.1 million used in operating activities (primarily working-capital investment made in antimony feedstock inventory), $12.6 million used in investing activities (discussed subsequently), and $2.6 million used in financing activities (principally treasury share repurchases related to employee equity award settlements). The Company also retains a $19.0 million margin credit facility with a bank, which was undrawn at March 31, 2026.Subsequent to March 31, 2026 and through the date of this release, the Company sold approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $11.57 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $48.6 million. These proceeds substantially offset the cash used during the first quarter to fund inventory build, the Radersburg mill acquisition, and the portion of the Thompson Falls construction in progress not yet reimbursed from the DoW.In addition, the Company holds an investment in publicly traded equity securities (Larvotto Resources Limited ( with a quarter-end fair value of USD $36.4 million, and a current market value as of close on May 13, 2026 of USD $46.6 million, an increase of USD $10.1 million since March 31, 2026.Capital Expenditures and Department of Defense GrantCapital expenditures during the first quarter of 2026 totaled $12.6 million, including $4.8 million for the acquisition of the Radersburg flotation mill in Montana, approximately $4.6 million for the construction-in-progress expansion of the Thompson Falls antimony smelter, and approximately $3.2 million primarily for new mineral rights acquisitions of other critical minerals.During the first quarter, the Company achieved milestones under its Defense Production Act grant award from the DoW, resulting in formal approval by the Defense Industrial Base Consortium for the completion of three project milestones representing $12.8 million of obligated funding. In accordance with the Company's early adoption of ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832), effective January 1, 2026, the Company recognized the $12.8 million as a government grant receivable on the balance sheet, with a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of construction in progress associated with the Thompson Falls expansion. According to accounting standards, the grant funding does not flow through revenue or net income; rather, it reduces the cost basis of the related long-lived assets, lowering future depreciation expense. The total DoW grant award is $27.0 million, of which $16.2 million has been obligated to date; the remaining award amount of $10.8 million is subject to future authorization.Operating and Strategic UpdatesDuring and subsequent to the first quarter, the Company made progress across its critical minerals platform:Thompson Falls Expansion: The Company's smelter expansion at Thompson Falls, Montana is nearing completion and is expected to come online over the next few weeks, significantly increasing domestic antimony processing capacity, not only for the Company, but for the country.Radersburg Flotation Mill: The Company acquired the Radersburg flotation and concentration facility in Montana for $4.8 million, supporting vertical integration of the Company's antimony processing operations. A new critical minerals testing laboratory has recently been installed. Now that this asset is 100% owned, no prior lease payments incurred for a similar facility will be incurred.Hydrometallurgical Joint Venture: The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Americas Gold and Silver Corporation ("Americas") as announced on February 10, 2026 (see press release of same date) to construct and operate a new, state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical processing facility. The joint venture will be owned 51% by Americas and 49% by the Company, with the Company serving as managing member. Under the terms of the agreement, Americas will contribute the project site and existing infrastructure, along with feedstock, while the Company will contribute its proprietary North America hydrometallurgical processing technology and technical expertise. Capital contributions for the facility's construction are expected to be funded pro-rata based on ownership interests, unless otherwise agreed. Primary site-level environmental and operating permits have been obtained, while certain construction permits are pending. An application for funding the cost of construction of the project has been made to the DoW.DLA Contract: The Company has received approximately $12 million in sales orders under its existing contract with the U.S. DLA. No revenue under this contract was recognized during Q1 2026. Additionally, the first and second delivery notices of finished product (antimony ingots) have been given to the DoW.On April 10, 2026 (see announcement of same date), the Company provided an operational update on its 100% owned Fostung Project, an intermediate-stage tungsten exploration asset located in Sudbury District, Ontario by making available its Technical Report Summary ("TRS") on the property, which disclosed Inferred Mineral Resources of approximately 14.7 million tons at 0.17% WO3, containing approximately 54 million pounds of tungsten trioxide and future resource revenue potential of up to $4.6 Billion over the life of the property based on the assumptions in the TRS.2026 OutlookThe Company is reiterating its full-year 2026 gross revenue guidance of approximately $125 million. Achievement of this guidance is dependent on, among other factors, the timing of antimony shipments under the DoW contract, the timely commissioning of the Thompson Falls expansion during the second quarter, ramp-up of in-house antimony ore processing in both Mexico and Montana, and continued strength in critical minerals demand. The majority of full-year 2026 revenue is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year. There can be no assurance that these factors will develop as currently anticipated; see the "Forward-Looking Statements" section below.Management CommentaryCommenting on the first quarter 2026 results, Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of US Antimony Corporation, stated: "When you are building a vertical business at the speed we are achieving at USAC, things rarely move in a straight line. There will be bumps in the road. Our first quarter results reflect a deliberate investment phase for our future. I told the ‘street' during our year-end conference call that our total operating results were likely to be ‘bumpy' this year. The increase in operating expense, the inventory build, and the capital expenditures we made in the quarter are the necessary foundation for the production scale-up we expect during the balance of 2026. While these investments drove a near-term loss, primarily all non-cash related, we believe we are much better positioned for the Company to deliver materially stronger financial performance in future reporting periods as our Montana-based mining, processing, and expanded smelting capabilities come online and integrate with our own material over the course of the year."Mr. Evans continued: "We are particularly pleased with the progress under our DoW grant program, the addition of the Radersburg flotation mill, and the formation of our hydrometallurgical joint venture, each of which advances the vertical integration of our critical minerals platform. While government grant requests are never guaranteed, we believe our three official filings made since the first of this year, which total $274 million, are ‘on point' and meet the standards established by these various governmental agencies in their desire to expedite ‘home grown' critical mineral development, both in the field as well as our proprietary downstream refining processes. The positive feedback we have received to date gives us encouragement of our continued success in this endeavor. Combined with our existing DLA contract, where we have noticed the government for two deliveries, our existing pipeline of additional governmental grant requests, and the post-quarter strengthening of our balance sheet, we are well-positioned to continue executing our 2026 business plan. The additional equity capital we have raised since the end of March is to guarantee we are in a position of strength to achieve these lofty goals and objectives."Conference Call DetailsUS Antimony management will host a conference call on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. Eastern time to discuss its first quarter 2026 financial and operating results, followed by a question-and-answer period.Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026

From China's Export Ban To A Nevada Leach Pad: The Junior With a Domestic Solution to the US Antimony Supply ChainMay 13, 2026 8:53 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of NevGold Corp.From a 1.11% antimony intercept at Resurrection Ridge, up to 99% gold recoveries on a brownfield leach pad — and an upsized brokered placement that closed on strong institutional demand — NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU | OTCQX: NAUFF | FRA: 5E50) is heading into its maiden antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate fully funded, and on a near-term U.S. antimony production pathway that very few of its peers can claim.NEW YORK, May 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — North American gold producers are operating in one of the most favorable commodity-and-policy windows of the past two decades. Gold continues to trade at or near record highs. Antimony — a U.S.-designated Critical Mineral with 100% U.S. import reliance — is now the subject of unprecedented federal procurement attention following China's December 2024 export restrictions targeting the United States. Those restrictions were partially suspended in November 2025, but the licensing regime and end-use scrutiny remain in place, which means U.S. buyers continue to face renewed disruption risk on a metal used in everything from flame retardants and semiconductors to military munitions and lead-acid batteries. Inside that environment, junior explorers exposed to both gold and antimony — at a single, U.S. project — are a very short list. And one Vancouver-based junior has just delivered the most catalyst-dense six-week stretch in its corporate history.NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF) (Frankfurt: 5E50) is an exploration and development company with four 100%-owned projects across Nevada and Idaho, anchored by the Limousine Butte gold-antimony project (White Pine County, Nevada) and the Nutmeg Mountain gold project (Idaho). [1] Between March 12 and April 20, 2026, the Company stacked six operational disclosures — drill mobilization, district-scale Bullet Zone drill hits, sequential antimony-then-gold metallurgy, the Resurrection Ridge headline drill release, sonic drill confirmation on the historic leach pads, and an upsized brokered placement — that together sets up a maiden antimony-gold NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate at Limousine Butte targeted for Q2 2026, with a pathway to near-term antimony production by 2027. [1]The Financing That Caps The Run: C$42.2 Million, Upsized From C$25 Million, On Strong Institutional DemandOn April 20, 2026, NevGold announced that its previously announced C$25 million brokered private placement had been upsized to over C$42 million on strong demand. [1] The upsized offering comprises 22,223,946 common shares at C$1.90, with Clarus Securities Inc. as sole agent and bookrunner, and is expected to close on or about May 12, 2026. [1] Net proceeds are earmarked for advancing Limousine Butte, Nutmeg Mountain, working capital, and general corporate purposes. [1] The shares will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period from closing in accordance with applicable securities laws. [1]A previously announced C$25 million brokered deal getting upsized by roughly 69% — without warrants — is a signal, not a line item. It tells you something about who the institutions in the book are willing to underwrite, and at what stage of the catalyst chain they want to be in the stock.The Drill Bit Behind The Bid: 1.11% Antimony Over 6.1 Meters Inside A 100.6-Meter Gold Equivalent InterceptThe April 9, 2026 disclosure was arguably the headline of the quarter. At Resurrection Ridge — part of the Limousine Butte district, and the structural setting that hosts both the Bullet Zone discovery (made in 2025) and the Armory Fault discovery (announced February 18, 2026) — NevGold intersected 1.93 g/t gold equivalent over 100.6 meters from surface (1.07 g/t gold + 0.22% antimony), with a high-grade interval of 1.11% antimony over 6.1 meters inside that broader intercept. [1] [2] CEO Brandon Bonifacio described Limo Butte as "one of the highest grade antimony projects in North America that is near-surface and oxide." [2]This was not an isolated print. On March 19, 2026, the Company had already disclosed Hole LB25-024 with 11.42 g/t AuEq over 7.7 meters (2.64% Sb + 1.17 g/t Au), within a broader 4.91 g/t AuEq over 27.4 meters (1.09% Sb + 0.67 g/t Au). [2] AuEq calculations are based on assumed prices of US$3,000/oz gold and US$40,000/tonne antimony, with assumed metal recoveries of 80% gold and 75% antimony. [2]For investors who track antimony as a critical mineral story, 1.11% over 6.1 meters is a number that compares favorably with most of the U.S. and ex-China advanced peer set. For investors who track gold, the 100.6-meter envelope at over 1.9 g/t AuEq from surface — with the gold component alone at 1.07 g/t — is a credible bulk-tonnage signature on a project that already has Bureau of Land Management approval for an Exploration Plan of Operations covering the full 68 km² property and up to 200 acres of permitted disturbance over a 10-year term. [1]The Metallurgy That Makes The Story Unusual: up to 99% Gold Recovery — After The Antimony Has Been Leached OutThe April 2, 2026 metallurgical disclosure may be the single most meaningful catalyst in the sequence, and it is one that puts NevGold (nev-gold.com) into a category of its own. Phase II testwork on oxide antimony-gold material from the Limo Butte historical gold leach pads showed cyanide shake test average gold recoveries above 93%, with individual samples reaching 99%, on residual tailings after the antimony had already been leached out. [1] Acid leach antimony extraction across the tested samples ranged from 54% to 92%, and additional antimony mineralization was identified at surface in a historical pre-strip waste dump. [1]The sequential process — antimony first, gold second, both metals from the same feed stream — is the punchline. It means NevGold is not picking between gold or antimony at Limo Butte. It is recovering both, in sequence, from material that has already been crushed, stacked, and sitting at surface on a brownfield site.That part — the brownfield part — is what positions Limousine Butte as one of the only near-term, at-surface antimony production scenarios in the United States with a path to potential metal production by 2027. The historical gold leach pads were already crushed, were already stacked, and are at surface requiring no further mining activities. April 14, 2026 sonic drill results on those same pads delivered 0.34% antimony with 0.41 g/t gold over 12.5 meters, 0.33% Sb and 0.55 g/t Au over 11.0 meters, and 0.31% Sb and 0.50 g/t Au over 14.6 meters — consistent with or better than the Phase I test pit averages. [1]The 2026 TSX Venture 50 Recognition Wasn't An AccidentNevGold was named to the 2026 TSX Venture 50 — one of the top 50 performers among more than 1,500 TSXV-listed issuers — on the back of a 330% share price appreciation and 515% market capitalization growth in 2025. [1] The recognition uses three equally weighted criteria: one-year share price appreciation, market cap growth, and Canadian consolidated trading value. The list is not an opinion. It is an output.The Comparable Set: How NevGold Stacks UpNevGold (www.nev-gold.com) sits at an unusual intersection of theses — domestic critical mineral, sequential gold recovery, near-term production optionality from a brownfield pad, and Tier-1 jurisdiction (Nevada and Idaho). To frame the opportunity, four comparables are worth tracking:United States Antimony Corp. (NYSE American: UAMY) is currently the only fully integrated antimony company outside of China and Russia. [3] On April 2, 2026, USAC announced the restart of mining operations at Stibnite Hill in Thompson Falls, Montana — a property the company previously mined from 1968 until 1983. [4] The company has raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $125 million — a 25% increase from prior guidance — and received a $27.0 million award from the U.S. Department of War under Title III of the Defense Production Act. [5] [6] USAC's Madero, Mexico smelter has approximately 200 tons per month of capacity, and the company remains sole-source approved to supply antimony trisulfide to the Defense Logistics Agency. [5] What UAMY illustrates is that the U.S. antimony market is being rebuilt brick by brick, and that buyers at scale are willing to pay for domestic, vertically integrated production.Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA / TSX: PPTA) holds the only identified domestic reserve of the critical mineral antimony at its Stibnite Gold Project in central Idaho. [11] The Project is projected to be one of the highest-grade open-pit gold mines in the United States, with reserves of approximately 4.8 million ounces of gold and 148 million pounds of antimony, and is expected to produce roughly 450,000 ounces of gold annually over its first four years. [11] On October 21, 2025, Perpetua broke ground on early works construction at the US$1.3 billion Stibnite project after posting US$139 million in financial assurance and receiving notice from the U.S. Forest Service that the 2025 Record of Decision requirements had been satisfied. [12] Perpetua received an indicative term sheet for up to US$2 billion in debt support from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and is targeting a final investment decision in 2026. [13] What Perpetua demonstrates is that the U.S. is willing to underwrite domestic gold-antimony pairings at scale — the same fundamental thesis NevGold (nev-gold.com) is advancing at Limousine Butte, but at a much earlier stage and a fraction of the market capitalization.Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE American: USAS / TSX: USA) consolidated 100% ownership of the Galena Complex in Idaho's Silver Valley in December 2024 — described by the company as the nation's largest antimony mine. [7] On February 10, 2026, Americas signed a definitive joint venture agreement with United States Antimony Corporation for a 51/49 JV to construct and operate an antimony processing facility at Galena, with the stated goal of building a U.S. mine-to-finished-product antimony solution. [7] In March 2026, Americas announced its largest exploration program in company history at approximately 64,000 meters of drilling across Galena/Crescent and Cosalá Mexico, reporting silver intercepts as high as 4,896 g/t over 1.3 meters. [8] On April 30, 2026, the company reported its fourth major new discovery at Galena — six new high-grade silver-copper-antimony veins approximately 150 meters southwest of the 149 Vein, including 1,392 g/t Ag, 1.5% Cu and 1.5% Sb over 1.9 meters at the 43L-TJ Vein Complex. [9] USAS is the closest thing in the U.S. peer set to a "domestic antimony producer with a real silver counterweight," which is a thesis adjacent to NevGold's gold-antimony pairing.Orla Mining Ltd. (NYSE American: ORLA / TSX: OLA) reported Q1 2026 production of 81,206 ounces of gold across two operating mines — Musselwhite (Ontario) and Camino Rojo (Mexico) — and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of 340,000 to 360,000 ounces. [10] Orla ended Q1 2026 with $96.0 million in net cash, declared its inaugural quarterly cash dividend in late 2025, and is advancing the South Carlin Complex (formerly South Railroad) — a feasibility-stage open-pit heap leach gold project on Nevada's Carlin trend. [10] The relevance for NevGold is jurisdictional: Orla and NevGold are both advancing oxide gold projects in Nevada, but with very different footprints and capital structures.The Q2 2026 Catalyst: Maiden Antimony-Gold MRE At Limousine ButteThe next direct catalyst on the NevGold timeline is a maiden antimony-gold NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate at Limousine Butte, expected in Q2 2026. [1] That MRE will be the first time the antimony quantities sitting in the historical leach pads are quantified under modern reporting standards, and it will set the technical baseline for the near-term production scenario the company is targeting for 2027.NevGold has not yet established a current NI 43-101 mineral resource at Limousine Butte; the maiden MRE remains forthcoming. Investors should review the Company's filings and the qualified persons' technical disclosures on www.nev-gold.com before drawing conclusions. The technical information disclosed by NevGold in its 2026 news releases has been reviewed and approved by Greg French, CPG, the Company's Vice President, Exploration, who is NevGold's Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. [2]The Bottom LineFor investors trying to triangulate where the U.S. antimony supply chain is being rebuilt, the names UAMY, Perpetua, USAS, and ORLA all matter. But NevGold (TSXV: NAU | OTCQX: NAUFF | FRA: 5E50) is the rare junior that sits at the intersection of multiple theses simultaneously: U.S. Critical Mineral exposure, near-term brownfield antimony production optionality, sequential gold recovery validated by up to 99% recovery testwork, and a fully funded balance sheet heading into a maiden MRE — at junior-explorer valuations.The maiden MRE is the next catalyst.

[1]Q: What was the upsized financing announced on April 20, 2026? A: NevGold's previously announced C$25 million brokered private placement was upsized to over C$42 million (22,223,946 common shares at C$1.90), with Clarus Securities Inc. as sole agent and bookrunner. The financing is expected to close on or about May 12, 2026, and proceeds are earmarked for advancing Limousine Butte, Nutmeg Mountain, working capital, and general corporate purposes. [1]Q: What were the headline drill results from April 9, 2026? A: At Resurrection Ridge in the Limousine Butte district, NevGold intersected 1.93 g/t gold equivalent over 100.6 meters from surface (1.07 g/t Au + 0.22% Sb), incorporating a higher-grade interval of 1.11% antimony over 6.1 meters. [1]Q: What did the Phase II metallurgical testwork show? A: Cyanide shake tests on residual leach pad material — after the antimony had been leached out — returned average gold recoveries above 93%, with individual samples reaching 99%.

United States Antimony Corporation Selected for Strategic Antimony Supply Chain Expansion Under DoW InitiativeMarch 5, 2026 8:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireDepartment of War Invests $27 Million for the Domestic
Extraction, Processing, and Refinement of Critical Materials“The Critical Minerals and ZEO Company”
~ Antimony, Cobalt, Tungsten, and Zeolite ~DALLAS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC," "US Antimony," the "Company"), (NYSE:UAMY), announced today that as the only domestic processor of antimony and producer of finished antimony products in the United States, it has been awarded $27 Million by the Department of War under Title III of the Defense Production Act (DPA) to enhance, innovate, and expand domestic extraction, processing, and refinement of critical materials. These investments approved last year were delayed due to the government shutdown. This investment utilized funds from the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2022. This award also supports the current Administration's goal to increase the production of processed critical minerals and other derivative products as articulated in the March 20, 2025, Executive Order 14241 - Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.Using DPA Title III funds, the new recipient will ignite additional U.S. production of critical minerals and their derivatives, strengthening the Nation's defense supply chains:DOW's $27.0 million investment in USAC will fund the modernization and expand the company's capacity located in Montana to refine and produce antimony necessary for flame retardants, batteries, munitions, and other defense applications. In parallel, this investment will support USAC's initiative to establish domestic antimony excavation and extraction in the State of Alaska. By securing domestic feedstock, USAC has already positioned itself with its Montana mining activities as the only U.S.-based company capable of full vertical integration across the supply chain from ore extraction, processing, and to finished antimony products.This is one of three investments made by the DPA Purchases Office totaling $58.5 million since the beginning of fiscal year 2026. USAC's recipient cost share of the $27 million award is $3.9 million (~14.4%). The MCEIP Directorate oversees the DPA Purchases Office.This investment comes at a pivotal time for both the Company as well as our country. In September 2024, China, the world's leading supplier of elemental antimony and its compounds, announced a ban on exports of several critical minerals and metals, including antimony and its compounds. Simultaneously, the U.S. National Defense Stockpile is being depleted at an accelerated rate to support both our Country's initiatives as well as our allies in recent conflicts. The United States has an urgent need to rebuild and scale up its existing domestic capacity for antimony extraction, processing, and conversion to ensure long-term supply chain resilience and military readiness. On September 22, 2025, USAC was awarded a sole-source contract by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials for up to $245 Million. (See Press Release dated September 23, 2025, which was subsequently increased to approximately $248 million in order to accommodate other divisions of government needs.)USAC's unique expertise enables the production of multiple strategic antimony derivatives, including:Antimony Trioxide, used in flame retardants, pigments, ceramics, plastics (including polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, the most used polymer in the packaging industry), enamels, rubber, and textiles.Antimony Trisulfide, critical to small and medium-caliber munitions, explosives, matches, pyrotechnics, and solar panels.Antimony Metal, used in semiconductors, lead-acid batteries, infrared sensors, and night vision technologies.With over 50 years of experience, USAC remains the only U.S.-based operation capable of producing antimony products at a commercial scale. The U.S. government award announced today will fund our current expansion efforts which are almost complete along with the modernization of our existing smelter at the company's Thompson Falls facilities. Additionally, this award will further support the company's vertical integration of mining that has been initiated in both the States of Alaska and Montana. The current expansion of our Thompson Falls facility is anticipated to be completed by early April 2026, which will increase total output capacity to approximately 400-500 tons per month of finished product, depending upon quality of ore received.Through our White Paper submitted to the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC) last year, we proposed a multi-phase project to expand our capabilities and vertically integrate stibnite mining and processing from our Alaska claims through our Montana production lines. Our commitment includes modernization of facilities, implementation of certain new technologies, and to support future stibnite anticipated from both domestic and international sources. We continue to be honored that we are in a position to play this very necessary role in rebuilding America's critical mineral independence with significant operational changes occurring at USAC this year.USAC Chairman and CEO, Gary C. Evans went on to say, "When we first began hearing about China's impending critical mineral export ban back in 2024, we immediately initiated discussions with domestic end-users and as well as government stakeholders to assess the potential impact. The U.S. has historically relied too heavily on foreign sources for antimony, despite its role in munitions, fire protection, and emerging energy technologies. As the only domestic processor of antimony, USAC is uniquely positioned to further support our nation's strategic and commercial needs. This additional financial support announced today will allow us to continue accelerating our current expansion and in our operations as the only fully integrated antimony miner and producer located in the world, outside of China and Russia. This project expansion effort directly aligns with a continuum of U.S. goals to secure critical supply chains, advance domestic manufacturing, and build upon priorities formalized in Executive Orders 14241 and 14272 under President Trump's Administration. Our projects advance the goal of reducing U.S. dependency on foreign sources of critical minerals at a time when they are continuing to be withheld and used as bargaining chips by these foreign adversaries. Additionally, our efforts are geared to accomplish the goal of strengthening the U.S. industrial capabilities now for the benefit of our defense readiness as well as meet the continued industrial demands of our existing and new customers."About the Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy (OASW(IBP)The OASW(IBP) works with domestic and international partners to forge and sustain a robust, secure, and resilient industrial base enabling the Warfighter, now and in the future. OASW(IBP) also uses a new Defense Industrial Base Consortium Other Transaction Agreement (DIBC OTA) to solicit new ideas for research or prototype project solutions for critical supply chain resiliency focus areas.

Antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. Antimony trisulfide is used as a primer in ammunition. The Company also recovers precious metals, primarily gold and silver, at its Montana facility from third party ore. At its Bear River Zeolite ("BRZ") facility located in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, soil amendment and fertilizer, and other miscellaneous applications. During 2024 and 2025, the Company began acquiring mining claims and leases located in Montana, Alaska and Ontario, Canada in an effort to expand its operations as well as its product offerings.Learn more about United States Antimony Corporation at www.usantimony.com.Forward-Looking Statements:This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future operations, production levels, financial performance, business strategy, market conditions, demand for antimony, zeolite, other critical minerals, and precious metals, expected costs, and other statements that are not historical facts.
