September Production
Bear River Zeolite ("BRZ"): Mined 3700 tons, Shipped 1052 tons
Madero Smelter: Crude antimony oxide production: 81,734 lbs, Crude antimony metal production: 82,275 lbs
Thompson Falls: Several test batches of antimony trisulfide were produced in the new furnaces. We produced and sold 50 tons of antimony trioxide in September.
Operations Upgrades
BRZ - The new primary jaw crusher (Installation completed on September 3) is performing well. Pit production continues utilizing drill and blast for primary production. Test ripping continues.
Madero -The Madero crew continued to produce crude antimony oxide and this production was simultaneously diverted to crude metal. This move will lessen shipping charges of semi-finished product to Thompson Falls where the crude metal converted to finished antimony trioxide or finished metal ingots for sale.
Thompson Falls: The two new furnaces are fully operational and started producing test batches of antimony trisulphide in early October.
Ambri Inc.: The company continues to track developments at Ambri and are arranging for additional shipments of test product.
Los Juarez/Puerto Blanco: Discussions continued with third party exploration companies towards a possible earn-in joint venture arrangement that would utilize their expertise and lower the company's risk. Traditionally summer is a slow time for junior exploration companies and progress has been slower than expected.
