USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Anthony Kim retired for over a decade after an achilles injury, he completely stopped playing golf.
He battled substance abuse and mental health issues.
This is one of the most amazing comebacks you’ll ever see in sports.
$UAMY Yesterday’s Reuters article is inaccurate, misleading, and inconsistent with the facts as they relate to U.S. Antimony. It continues a pattern of speculative reporting that mischaracterizes U.S. government policy and creates unnecessary confusion in the market.
U.S. Antimony maintains binding, long-term relationships and contractual arrangements with U.S. government agencies that remain fully in effect. There has been no change to our agreements, no change to government obligations, and no impact to our operations or outlook.
Any suggestion that federal support for domestic antimony supply has weakened is simply incorrect. Antimony remains a designated critical mineral for U.S. national security, and U.S. Antimony is the only producer of finished antimony products in the Western Hemisphere. There is no alternative domestic or regional source capable of supplying this material at scale.
We remain fully aligned with our government partners and focused on executing our mission: securing a reliable, domestic antimony supply chain for defense, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. Our operational momentum, commercial trajectory, and long-term visibility remain strong and unchanged.
I want to thank my family and my team for their continued support throughout every step of my professional career. When I was a child, I always dreamed about competing on the @PGATOUR, and I am just as excited today to announce that I am returning to the PGA TOUR. Being closer to home and spending more time with my family makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me.
I believe in where the PGA TOUR is headed with new leadership, new investors, and an equity program that gives players a meaningful ownership stake. I also understand there are financial penalties associated with this decision, and I accept those.
Finally, I want to thank the fans. Your support means more to me today than ever before, and I look forward to seeing you soon at the Farmers Insurance Open and WM Phoenix Open.
$UAMY The world is waking up to how vulnerable our critical-mineral supply chains really are and the impact it has on our defense, industrial, and technological bases. This is a glimpse into an ambitious project documenting the real story behind America’s only antimony producer and the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the people pushing to rebuild a critical supply chain the U.S. depends on.
Full 3-episode release coming soon!
Appreciate everyone following along. There is a lot more to come!
U.S.A. 🇺🇸🦅
Let’s set the record straight.
At U.S. Antimony $UAMY, we’re not pumpers or promoters — we’re producers, performers, and executors.
When this leadership team took over two years ago, we made clear promises. Since then, we’ve delivered — building, producing, and executing every step of the way. If you disagree, leave the receipts in the comments.
Seeing increasing short interest and misinformation across financial and media channels is disheartening. But make no mistake: the facts speak for themselves.
✅ UAMY is North America’s only permitted antimony smelter and producer of military-grade antimony metal.
✅ In October 2025, we began domestic mining operations at Stibnite Hill, Montana, with high-grade vein discoveries and truckloads of material already processed. We are the first and only company to mine antimony domestically in 40 years.
✅ We have a $245 million, five-year DLA contract to supply antimony ingot metal to replenish the U.S. National Defense Stockpile — something no “button-sized ingot promoter” can claim.
✅ Any conversations with China have had zero mention of antimony. Antimony is the queen on the chessboard and China will never supply it to us again. See my earlier posts.
Recent statements suggesting “no existing U.S. production” or claims of being “the first” domestic producer are simply incorrect.
This is a time for unification, mobilization, and re-industrialization — not division.
If America and its allies truly seek critical mineral independence, then our financial, defense, industrial, and technology sectors must align and invest in one another to accelerate this transformation.
At U.S. Antimony, we’ll keep doing what we do best:
producing, performing, and progressing — for our shareholders, our partners, and our country. 🇺🇸
The Sleeping Giant Has Been Awakened. 🇺🇸 $UAMY
America once mobilized its industries to win a world war.
Now, we must mobilize again—this time for critical-mineral independence.
Fifteen years of underinvestment have left us dangerously exposed. Our defense, energy, and technology supply chains rely on materials we no longer control. Antimony, lithium, rare earths, graphite—these are the building blocks of freedom itself.
The next American boom won’t be digital—it’ll be elemental.
It will take a new alliance: defense primes, tech giants, and mining companies working side by side to rebuild an entire industrial ecosystem—mines, refineries, and manufacturing plants—from the ground up.
WWII turned car factories into bomber plants.
Now we’ll turn idle industrial sites into refineries and separation facilities—the new Arsenal of Democracy, forged from the earth.
This isn’t optional. It’s existential.
America’s sovereignty depends on securing the materials that power our weapons, our grids, and our future.

Fun Facts – End Uses for Antimony Metal Ingots:
•🪖 Defense: Essential for munitions and armor-piercing rounds (as antimony trisulfide) — strengthens metals and stabilizes propellants.
•🔥 Flame Retardants: Combined with halogen compounds to make plastics, textiles, and electronics fire-resistant.
•⚙️ Alloys: Added to lead and tin to harden batteries, bearings, and solder — critical for grid and defense power systems.
•💡 Semiconductors & Photonics: Used in diodes, infrared detectors, and certain solar technologies.
•🧪 Industrial Catalysts: Plays a key role in glass, ceramics, and chemical manufacturing.

Are you a chess player? ♟️
Most games pivot on the queen—the most versatile piece on the board. Remove your opponent’s queen and the entire position changes. You’d never let them just bring it back.
Antimony plays a similar role in the real world: a quiet linchpin across defense and industry—munitions (antimony trisulfide), flame-retardant systems, alloys, and batteries. For decades, China has dominated global antimony supply (anchored by the Xikuangshan district in Hunan), which is why supply security matters. China’s long-term geopolitical plan—often called the “100-Year Marathon”—aims to position the nation as the world’s dominant superpower by 2031, marking the centennial of the communist regime. Its global accumulation of critical minerals has been decades in the making. One thing is now clear: China will never again supply the United States with antimony—a mineral essential to defense, industrial, and technological applications.
U.S. Antimony Corp. is actively working to rebuild strategic reserves, and our job is to deliver reliable, MIL-spec material from permitted, operating facilities in North America.
Checkmate is about position, not hype. This is positioning. This is American mobilization and the definition of the American spirit. 🇺🇸
$UAMY Things are heating up inside the furnaces — and in the markets. 🔥
This is the heart of America’s only antimony smelter in action, converting concentrate into the critical metal powering our defense, energy, and technology supply chains.
As the saying goes… the stock isn’t the only thing running hot.
Proud to be building the foundation of U.S. critical mineral independence. 🇺🇸
