Business Segments

 

The Company is currently organized and managed by three segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations and United States zeolite operations.  The Company’s Other operating costs include general and administrative expenses, freight and delivery, and other non-production related costs.

The Madero smelter and Puerto Blanco mill at the Company’s Mexico operation brings antimony to an intermediate stage, which is then shipped to the United States operation for finishing and sales at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. The Zeolite operation produces Zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all of the sales of products from the United States antimony and Zeolite operations are to customers in the United States.
