Directors of US Antimony. We have been having these discussions regarding a
board position for several months now and the time is right for all parties.
Having started and run four separate publicly traded companies over the past 35
years, predominantly in the energy sector, three of which were on the NYSE and
became multibillion enterprise value entities, I hope to be able to add some
value to a company I deem is currently trading significantly below its intrinsic
value. The common goal of our board and management team is to figure out ways to
bridge this value gap for the ultimate benefit of all our shareholders, both new
and old."
