财务业绩：
United States Antimony Corporation sales decreased by 21% in 2023, with gross profit also declining in comparison to the previous year.
The sales decrease resulted from lower antimony market prices and lower sales volumes, particularly in the quantity of zeolite sold.
The company's Mexico operations contributed less than 15% to antimony sales, with processing costs rising in 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents along with restricted cash declined by $7.2 million during 2023 due to Mexico's operations' cash drain and liability payments.
