Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY) is a U.S.-based critical minerals and metals company focused primarily on the production and sale of antimony products, zeolite, and precious metals recovery services. The company operates in the specialty metals and industrial minerals sectors, supplying materials used in flame retardants, batteries, ammunition, semiconductors, solar glass, ceramics, water filtration, and various industrial applications. Its principal revenue drivers have historically included antimony oxide, antimony metal, zeolite products, and toll processing or recovery of precious metals from concentrates and by-products.
The company was incorporated in 1968 and developed around antimony smelting and refining operations in North America. Over time, it expanded into industrial minerals through its zeolite business and pursued opportunities tied to strategic and critical minerals supply chains. UAMY has positioned itself as one of the few publicly traded U.S. companies with domestic antimony processing capabilities, a factor that has gained strategic importance amid increasing Western focus on supply chain security for critical minerals.
Business Operations
UAMY operates through several core business activities centered on Antimony Operations, Zeolite Operations, and precious metals recovery. Its antimony business includes smelting, refining, and marketing antimony oxide, antimony trisulfide, and antimony metal products. The company has operated facilities in Montana and Mexico, including processing assets associated with antimony concentrates and mineral feedstock. Its zeolite business, conducted through Bear River Zeolite Company, produces natural zeolite products used in animal nutrition, soil conditioning, water filtration, and environmental remediation applications.
The company generates revenue through product sales, mineral processing, and recovery services. UAMY’s operations include both domestic and international commercial relationships, with historical sourcing and sales ties involving North America and Latin America. The company has also explored strategic partnerships and supply agreements related to antimony concentrate sourcing and refining. Public disclosures indicate that operational performance can be materially affected by commodity prices, feedstock availability, environmental permitting, and geopolitical dynamics in global antimony supply markets.
Strategic Position & Investments
UAMY’s strategic direction has increasingly emphasized expanding domestic critical mineral processing capacity, particularly for antimony, which the U.S. government classifies as a critical mineral. The company has pursued investments aimed at improving refining capabilities, increasing feedstock access, and supporting vertically integrated supply chains. Public filings and investor communications have also referenced initiatives tied to antimony processing modernization and efforts to secure long-term raw material sources.
The company has explored opportunities linked to defense, energy transition, and supply chain resilience trends due to antimony’s role in batteries, military applications, flame retardants, and advanced manufacturing. UAMY has also maintained ownership interests in mineral-related assets and subsidiaries connected to processing and industrial mineral production. While management has discussed growth opportunities tied to increasing domestic demand for critical minerals, some project timelines and commercial outcomes remain subject to financing, regulatory approvals, and market conditions. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding the timing and scale of certain proposed expansion initiatives.
Geographic Footprint
United States Antimony Corporation is headquartered in Thompson Falls, Montana, and has historically operated facilities and mineral-related assets across the United States and Mexico. Its operational footprint has included antimony processing facilities in Montana and processing relationships connected to Mexican mining and concentrate supply. The company’s zeolite operations are centered in the western United States, including deposits and processing activities associated with Idaho and surrounding regions.
Although UAMY is comparatively small relative to multinational mining and materials firms, its products have served customers across North America and select international markets. The company’s relevance within global supply chains stems largely from the limited number of antimony processors operating in the United States and broader Western markets. Market exposure is influenced by international antimony pricing, especially given the concentration of global antimony production and refining capacity in China and other overseas jurisdictions.
Leadership & Governance
United States Antimony Corporation is governed by a board of directors and executive management team overseeing metals processing, mineral operations, environmental compliance, and corporate strategy. Leadership has consistently emphasized the strategic importance of domestic critical mineral production and the development of U.S.-aligned supply chains for antimony and related materials. The company’s governance and disclosures are provided through public filings including SEC filings and annual reports.
