UNITED STATES ANTIMONY CORP reported a significant net loss of $11.3 million for Q1 2026, a sharp deterioration from the prior year's net income, driven by a substantial increase in operating expenses and a decline in gross profit. The company experienced a high cash burn, with cash reserves dropping from $30.5 million to $3.2 million during the quarter. To address this, the company subsequently raised $48.6 million through an at-the-market (ATM) offering and recognized $12.8 million from a U.S. Department of War grant, with funds received in April 2026. The filing also reiterates a material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures due to insufficient accounting staff, and notes the temporary leave of the CFO. While the subsequent financing provides a critical lifeline, the underlying operational performance and cash burn for the quarter are significant concerns.
