Equity [Abstract] |
2000 Stock Plan | In January 2000, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to create the United States Antimony Corporation 2000 Stock Plan ("the Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants to promote the success of the Company's business. The maximum number of shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 500,000. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock had been previously issued under the Plan. There were no issuances under the Plan during 2020 and 2019.
