| So that enabled the Company to generate a much better gross profit |
| Russ managed the operations at Madero, built a strong management team and a strong office staff there |
| But on our end here, when we really dig deep into what’s actually going on, we see the uniqueness of UAMY and the prospects and the possibilities of this going really good in the long-term |
| Antimony’s history, this was a stellar year |
| And so, you see the changes we’ve made, changes we’re going to make, and we hope to be able to report positive results from those changes in the near future |
| We have a strong cohesive Board that is working very well together |
| It was an excellent year, probably the best year that I’m aware of for the Company |
| So, that is one reason that we had such a stellar year in antimony |
| So, that’s another healthy benefit |
| He has a very strong background in delving into cost -- cost accounting |
| shareholders know that we think there’s a great opportunity here and we want to do everything we can to capitalize on it |
| They did a great job |
| So, the -- zeolite, we believe is a real opportunity for the Company |
| So that’s why it’s so paramount that we figure out, okay, how can we take this thing up, double, triple, quadruple, so that we can then go to those new customers and say, look what we have, we have the ability to meet your demand |
| To me, it seems that the low hanging fruit is zeolite, and very happy that several of you are going to visit the site |
| Evans Well, one of the things I think that we all recognize is that the Company has some very unique opportunities that haven’t been properly told to the government, the different agencies that are the ones that make awards and that make contracts with companies like ourselves |
| Again, we have a clean opinion |
| Mark Menzel Very pleased with the recent changes, Company’s dealing with a lot of moving parts |
| We only have one objective in mind, and that is to improve our operations in a manner that increases the share price |
| So, I think that that will be a great new help |
| We see the opportunity that you see |
| I think there’s also tremendous option value in this company |
| And having very cheap labor has been a key to why Mexico has been successful in the past |
| And I’ll let Joe -- Joe’s been out there and knows this better than anybody on our call |
| And so, we think that by increasing the volumes, as I outlined earlier, we can meet the demands of our current customers and try to expand upon that |
| I think the fact that we are a U.S.-based company with sales of minerals that are non-China is a big plus |
| I would think that you would have a nice business there |
| Good work in the last few days on what a lot of us have been looking for |
| I think that the asset situation is incredible |
| So, one of our goals is to better educate those government entities as to what we have and the opportunities we have |
| Statement |

| One of the things that the Company has been weak on in the past has been internal controls |
| The grade is not as high as has had been in years past, and we’re a little bit concerned that some of the people who are doing the mining aren’t cleaning the ore as well as they used to |
| And I was looking at your 10-K and saw that those are actually significantly down year-over-year |
| were pretty much curtailed back in 1983 due to a continued decline in the price of antimony |
| We’ve obviously -- the military’s been affected with respect to all the artillery shells we’ve given to Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine situation |
| So, our CFO, our contract CFO, who we’ve had on board for better part of a year had to basically redo the numbers for 2022 and that slowed down the audit process |
| And that’s one of the reasons we are late on this 10-K is that we didn’t have the proper internal controls in place |
| We have become significant investors in the Company, and I know it’s been a very checkered career and a very challenging one |
| And I know it’s an outlier, but back in the 80s or when you guys closed down Montana mining operations and did all the reclamation work, it was due to the low price of antimony |
| Part of the problem is having a sub $1 share price |
| And I was just concerned like about some of the updates that I’ve been reading, particularly with the Department of Defense and Ambri batteries |
| And also, I do have one last question in terms of information that gets out to various entities, Google Finance, like I said, MarketWatch balance, things of that nature that -- sometimes I get frustrated because I know how valuable UAMY is, but yet it just seems that we’re not getting the acknowledgement out there to other investors of what actually is going on as you people have described right now that there is much going on |
| So, that is something that we are weak on and something that we’re hoping to change |
| Because of -- a lot number of irregularities that were occurred during that audit and during that review, that’s what delayed things |
| The average price was only up 9% |
| The situation at Wadley is no more frustrating to you than it is to us |
| You’ve still got a very narrow veins that are somewhat sporadic and high labor costs have gone up as quick or quicker than the price of antimony |
| It’s been very difficult to deal with, and we’re trying to bring it to a head |
| At year-end, it was $19.4 million, slightly down from the $21.5 million in 2021 |
| We had some people in our accounting department that weren’t basically doing their jobs, and we had to make some changes that occurred in late January, because we just weren’t getting ready for the audit as we should have |
