DALLAS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC," "US Antimony," or the "Company"), (NYSE:UAMY)(NYSE Texas:UAMY), operating North America's only two antimony smelters which have been processing antimony for decades, today announced that it has received the first Delivery Order as a part of its Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) sole-source contract with the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials (the program manager for the National Defense Stockpile [NDS]). The amount of this first order is approximately $10 Million, and represents the purchase of 315,000 lbs. of antimony metal ingots, which is the beginning task to replenish the U.S. National Defense Stockpile.

This Delivery Order (DO) is the first of the anticipated two DOs for fiscal year 2025 and has immediately followed the award to USAC of a sole-source IDIQ, five-year contract, with a value of approximately $245,000,000 announced on September 23, 2025.

Additionally, the Company is providing today financial guidance for 2025 and 2026 regarding estimated revenues:

USAC Chairman and CEO, Gary C. Evans commented, "This is the first of many purchase DO's anticipated from the DoD's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for strategic materials under our sole-source contract announced last week. We are anxious to begin deliveries of antimony ingots to the government over the next few months, prior to year end. Now with certainty of future demand for our finished products, we have for the first time provided financial revenue guidance for next year, which is anticipated to be over 50% greater than what we anticipate reporting in fiscal 2025. This revenue confidence for 2026 is based upon two new events. First, we have now, during the month of September, received all prior requested mining permits from the State of Alaska, and second, our international procurement efforts continue to accelerate with new shipments acquired and moving to our two smelters."
