On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a loan and processing agreement with Hillgrove Mines Pty Ltd of Australia (Hillgrove) by which Hillgrove will advance the Company funds to be used to expand its smelter in Madero, Mexico, and in Thompson Falls, Montana. The agreement states that if a stop notice is issued by Hillgrove within one year of the date of the agreement, the Company is only obligated to repay 50% of the funds advanced at that point. If a stop notice is issued between one year and two years, there is a formula to prorate the repayment amount from 50% to 81.25%. If a stop order is issued after two years, the repayment obligation is 81.25% of the funds advanced at that point. The Company has recorded the Hillgrove advances payable net of the 18.75% discount on the obligation due if Hillgrove issues a stop order after two years. As of June 30, 2015, a discount of $116,277 has been recorded as deferred revenue and is being recognized ratably over a two year period; during the six month period ended June 30, 2015; $58,139 was recognized as income. From the date of the contract through June 30, 2015, Hillgrove has advanced the Company a total of $1,271,821, of which $1,097,405 has been recorded as a long-term liability at June 30, 2015.

1.
|
Our income for the six month period in 2015 was after non-cash expenses of $442,400 for depreciation and amortization.
|
2.
|
USAC’s precious metals revenue in the first six months of 2015 was $196,301 which was equivalent to $0.165 per pound of antimony sold.
|
3.
|
During the first six months of 2015 the direct production costs in the USA was $2,147,075 ($1.75 per pound), compared to $2,247,372 ($2.90 per pound) for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the decrease in raw material and propane costs. The decrease in production costs has enabled us to continue operations and fund improvements in a severely depressed environment for basic materials.
|
|
USAC’ Los Juarez property in Queretaro, Mexico exposes mineralization for approximately 3.5 kilometers and for widths up to 1 kilometer. Previously, the deposit has been reported as a layered deposit (manto) up to 6 meters thick with silver and antimony. The property has been abandoned by major mining companies unable to solve the metallurgical problems. After 11 years and many millions of dollars, USAC has reported that:
|
1.
|
the property is predominantly a gold property with substantial credits in silver and minor credits in antimony
|
2.
|
the property is not a manto deposit but a series of deep- seated silica- rich pipes that carry the mineralization vertically for many meters
|
3.
|
the Company has pilot tested every aspect of the project including the mining, milling, and smelting, and believes it has solved the metallurgical problems. The Company will bring its Puerto Blanco150 ton per day pilot mill on stream after permitting a cyanide leach plant at Puerto Blanco and other equipment at its Madero smelter.
|
|
A shallow reconnaissance drilling program to delineate the higher grade zones for mining to provide raw material to the Puerto Blanco pilot mill in Guanajuato, Mexico and to direct the deeper drilling of the deposit in the future was completed in the first six months of 2015. To date, less than 5% of the property has been drilled. Eighty one holes were drilled, and with the exception of 5 holes that were drilled to 3-5 meters, the holes were drilled to a total depth of 0.8-2 meters. Six of the drill holes were in mine pit areas, and the balance of the holes were all in unexplored areas over a distance of 1,600 meters. Most of the holes showed anomalous values of gold, silver, or antimony, or two or three of these metals in combination. Following are some of the assays from the drill hole intercepts (values are per metric ton):
