SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has two subsidiaries in Mexico, US Antimony de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“USAMSA”) and Antimonio de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“ADM”). On March 11, 2024, the Company shut down the operations of USAMSA, terminated a majority of USAMSA employees, the cost of which related to this employee termination was approximately $40,000, and announced its plans to sell, lease, or dispose of its USAMSA subsidiary, operations, or assets. The USAMSA subsidiary primarily includes the Company’s Madero antimony and precious metals plant in Parras de la Fuente Coahuila, Mexico and its Puerto Blanco antimony and precious metals plant in San Luis de la Paz Guanajuato, Mexico. The Company intends to sell or lease its USAMSA subsidiary, operations, or assets over the next year and has initiated an active search for buyers or leasing opportunities of its operations and/or existing assets. The Company will maintain its existing Los Juarez mining claims and concessions in Cadereyta de Montes Queretaro, Mexico, which are included in our ADM subsidiary. There are presently no active operations at Los Juarez. In March 2024, the Company received a favorable ruling from its appeal with no assessment due related to this audit of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return by SAT. This ruling supports the Company’s position on this tax matter and has no impact on the Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2023. Mexico’s lower court will issue a final ruling on this matter as to whether this decision can be appealed.
