Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segments | The Company is currently organized and managed by four segments, which represent the three operating units: United States antimony, Mexican antimony, United States zeolite, and precious metals. The Company’s other operating costs include general and administrative expenses, freight and delivery, and other non-production related costs. Other income and expense consist primarily of non-operating income and interest expense. The Madero smelter and Puerto Blanco mill at the Company’s Mexico operation brings antimony up to a finished product or an intermediate stage, which is then either shipped directly to customers or to the United States operation for finishing and sales at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. The Zeolite operation produces zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all of the sales of products from the United States antimony and zeolite operations are to customers in the United States. Precious metal recovered from the antimony process in the United States and Mexico is typically sold to customers in the United States and Canada. Segment disclosures regarding sales to major customers and for property, plant, and equipment are located in Notes 3 and 6, respectively.
