UNITED STATES ANTIMONY CORPORATION 
 
15,300,000 Shares of Common Stock
 
We are offering 15,300,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, directly to certain institutional investors pursuant to this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2021, by and among United States Antimony Corporation (the “Company”) and the institutional investors signatories thereto. We are offering the shares of common stock in this offering at a price per share of $0.70. In a concurrent private placement, we are also selling to such investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,650,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable beginning six months following their date of issuance, at an exercise price of $0.85 per share and expire five and one half years from the date of issuance. The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part and are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.
 
Our common stock trades on the NYSE American under the symbol “UAMY.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2021 was $0.83 per share. For a more detailed description of our common stock, see the section entitled “Description of the Securities we are Offering” beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement. There is no established public trading market for the warrants that we are offering in the concurrent private placement and we do not expect a market to develop.
 
As of January 29, 2021, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately $58.36 million based on 76,510,100 shares outstanding, of which 70,313,557 shares are held by non-affiliates, and a per share price of $0.83, which was the last reported price on the NYSE American of our common stock on January 29, 2021. During the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this prospectus supplement, we did not issue or sell any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3.
 
We have retained Roth Capital Partners, LLC to act as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to sell the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding our arrangements with the Placement Agent.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
 
This prospectus supplement is a supplement to the accompanying prospectus that is also a part of this document. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, dated January 27, 2021, are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252193) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer and sell from time to time in one or more offerings the securities described in the accompanying prospectus.
 
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the shares we are offering and the terms of the offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which provides more general information, some of which may not apply to the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. We urge you to carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein and therein by reference as described under the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information,” before buying any of the securities being offered.
 
You should rely only on the information that we have provided or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you. We have not, and the placement agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. No other dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you. You must not rely on any unauthorized information or representation. This prospectus supplement is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, and only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. You should assume that the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front of the document and that any information we have incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus, or any sale of a security.
 
This prospectus supplement contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus and the documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and may involve material risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.
 
Any forward looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus and the documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are only estimates or predictions of future events based on information currently available to our management and management’s current beliefs about the potential outcome of future events. Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives, and whether our revenues, operating results, or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous risks. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as well as in our other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus supplement or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview
 
United States Antimony Corporation was incorporated in Montana in January 1970 to mine and produce antimony products. In December 1983, we suspended antimony mining operations but continued to produce antimony products from domestic and foreign sources. In April 1998, we formed United States Antimony SA de CV or USAMSA, to mine and smelt antimony in Mexico. Bear River Zeolite Company, or BRZ, was incorporated in 2000, and it is mining and producing zeolite in southeastern Idaho. On August 19, 2005, we formed Antimonio de Mexico, S. A. de C. V. to explore and develop antimony and silver deposits in Mexico. Our principal business is the production and sale of antimony, silver, gold and zeolite products. On May 16, 2012, we started trading on the NYSE MKT (now NYSE AMERICAN) under the symbol UAMY.

RISK FACTORS
 
Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
 
You should also carefully consider the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, filed on April 1, 2020, together with all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, before making an investment decision. 
 
Risks Related to This Offering
 
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
 
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including to improve infrastructure at our Mexico and Montana antimony installations, to fund a geochemical, geological and geophysical program at our Los Juarez property, to fund corporate governance expenses, and to retire certain indebtedness. However, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and subject to any agreed upon contractual restrictions under the terms of the subscription agreements, you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
 
You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.
 
Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the offering price of $0.70 per share, if you purchase the shares offered in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. See “Dilution” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement.
 
Future sales or other dilution of our equity could depress the market price of our common stock. 
 
Sales of our common stock, preferred shares, warrants, debt securities or any combination of the foregoing in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could negatively impact the price of our common stock. We have a number of institutional and individual shareholders that own significant blocks of our common stock. If one or more of these shareholders were to sell large portions of their holdings in a relatively short time, for liquidity or other reasons, the prevailing market price of our common stock could be negatively affected.
 
We may need to seek additional capital. If this additional financing is obtained through the issuance of equity securities, debt convertible into equity or options or warrants to acquire equity securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant dilution upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of such securities.
 
 
S-4
 
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be $9.9 million, after deducting placement agent cash commission and estimated offering expenses of approximately $160,000.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that we are offering in the concurrent private placement unless and until such warrants are exercised. If the warrants are fully exercised for cash, we will receive additional proceeds of up to approximately $6.5 million.
 
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including to improve infrastructure at our Mexico and Montana antimony installations, to fund a geochemical, geological and geophysical program at our Los Juarez property, to fund corporate governance expenses, and to retire certain indebtedness.
 
We have not specifically identified the precise amounts we will spend on each of these areas or the timing of these expenditures. The amounts actually expended for each purpose may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including assessments of potential market opportunities and competitive developments. In addition, expenditures may also depend on the establishment of new collaborative arrangements with other companies, the availability of other financing, and other factors. Subject to any agreed upon contractual restrictions under the terms of the purchase agreement for this offering, our management will have some discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for purposes that may not result in our being profitable or increase our market value.
 
 
S-5
 
 
DILUTION
 
Your ownership interest, as a result of the issuance of the shares of common stock in this offering, will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.
 
Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2020 was $8,896,789, or $0.12 per share of our common stock. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020.
 
After giving effect to the sale by us in this offering of 15,300,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.70, after deducting estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 would have been approximately $18.9 million, or approximately $0.21 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.09 per share of common stock to our existing common stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.49 per share of common stock to purchasers of common stock in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:
 
Public offering price per share
 
 
 
 $0.70 
Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2020
 $0.12 
    
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributed to the investors purchasing shares issued in this offering

The following table summarizes as of September 30, 2020, on a pro forma basis, as described above, the number of our shares of common stock, the total consideration and the average price per share (1) paid to us by our existing shareholders and (2) issued to persons in this offering at an offering price of $0.70 per share, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us:

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
 
We are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement 15,300,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.70 per share. A description of the common stock that we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement is set forth under the heading “Description of Common Stock,” starting on page 4 of the accompanying prospectus. As of January 28, 2021, we had 76,510,100 outstanding shares of common stock.
 
PRIVATE PLACEMENT TRANSACTION OF WARRANTS  
 
In a concurrent private placement, we will issue and sell to the same investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,650,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.85 per share.
 
The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act, are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. Accordingly, investors may only sell shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act.
 
Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable at any time six months after the date of issuance, and at any time up to the date that is five and one-half years from the date of exercisability, at which time any unexercised warrants will expire and cease to be exercisable. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, the holder may exercise the warrant through a cashless exercise, in whole or in part, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.
 
Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% upon the request of the holder) of the number of shares of our stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon notice to us, provided that any increase in this limitation will not be effective until 61 days after such notice from the holder to us.
 
Exercise Price; Anti-Dilution. Each warrant will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.85 per share of common stock, payable in U.S. dollars. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock.
 
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. There is currently no established trading market for the warrants and a trading market is not expected to develop.
 
Exchange Listing. There is currently no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not intend to apply to list the warrants on any securities exchange or automated quotation system

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or intoanother person, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, during the 30 day period following a fundamental transaction, each holder of a warrant may require the company (or a successor entity) to purchase from such holder the warrants held by such holder at a price equal to the “Black Scholes Value” (as defined in the warrants) of the remaining unexercised portion of the applicable warrant on the date of the consummation of such fundamental transaction;provided, that if the fundamental transaction is not within the company's control, the holder shall only be entitled to receive from the company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of common stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of common stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction.
 
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.
 
Resale/Registration Rights. We are required within 85 days of the closing of the offering to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 181 days of the closing of the offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no investor owns any warrants or shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Pursuant to a placement agency agreement, dated February 1, 2021, we have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC as sole placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent may engage one or more sub-placement agents or selected dealers to assist in the placement of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but the placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the securities offered hereby. We may not sell the entire amount of securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
 
The placement agent proposes to arrange for the sale to one or more purchasers of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus through securities purchase agreements directly between the purchasers and us. The public offering price of the securities offered hereby has been determined based upon arm's-length negotiations between the purchasers and us.
 
Commissions and Expenses
 
We have agreed to pay the placement agent an aggregate cash placement fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds in this offering.
 
The following table shows the per share and total cash placement agent’s fees we will pay to the placement agent in connection with the sale of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus assuming the purchase of all of the shares of common stock offered hereby:
 
Per share
 $0.042 
Total
 $642,600 
 
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual total placement agent fees, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above.
 
We also agreed to issue warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to the placement agent or its designees at each closing to purchase shares of common stock equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the offering (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the concurrent private placement). The Placement Agent Warrants shall have the same terms, including exercise price, as the warrants issued to the investors in the concurrent private placement, except that the Placement Agent Warrants shall have an expiration date five years from the commencement of sales.
 
We also agreed to reimburse our placement agent’s expenses (with supporting invoices/receipts) up to $25,000, payable upon the closing of the offering.
 
Our obligation to issue and sell our securities to the purchasers is subject to the conditions set forth in the securities purchase agreement, which may be waived by us at our discretion. A purchaser's obligation to purchase securities is subject to the conditions set forth in the securities purchase agreement as well, which may also be waived.
 
We currently anticipate that the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be completed on or about February 3, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent's fees, will be approximately $160,000, which includes legal and printing costs and various other fees. At the closing, The Depository Trust Company will credit the shares of common stock to the respective accounts of the purchasers. We will mail warrants issued in the concurrent private placement directly to the investors at the respective addresses set forth in their securities purchase agreement with us.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). We have also agreed to contribute to payments the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on websites or through other online services maintained by the placement agent, or by its affiliates. Other than this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format, the information on the placement agent's website and any information contained in any other websites maintained by the placement agent is not part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the placement agent, and should not be relied upon by investors.
 
Regulation M Restrictions
 
The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the placement agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the securities offered hereby by the placement agent acting as principals. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent:
 
must not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
must not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until they have completed their participation in the distribution.
 
Passive Market Making
 
In connection with this offering, the placement agent and any selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on OTCQB in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
 
Other
 
 
From time to time, the placement agent and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, financial advisory and other services to us and our affiliates for which services they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. In the course of their businesses, the placement agent and its affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans for their own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the placement agent and its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or loans. Except for services provided in connection with this offering, the placement agent has not provided any investment banking or other financial services during the 180-day period preceding the date of this prospectus supplement and we do not expect to retain the placement agent to perform any investment banking or other financial services for at least 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
 
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our company. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
 
Overview
 
United States Antimony Corporation, or USAC, was incorporated in Montana in January 1970 to mine and produce antimony products. In December 1983, we suspended antimony mining operations but continued to produce antimony products from domestic and foreign sources. In April 1998, we formed United States Antimony SA de CV or USAMSA, to mine and smelt antimony in Mexico. Bear River Zeolite Company, or BRZ, was incorporated in 2000, and it is mining and producing zeolite in southeastern Idaho. On August 19, 2005, USAC formed Antimonio de Mexico, S. A. de C. V. to explore and develop antimony and silver deposits in Mexico. Our principal business is the production and sale of antimony, silver, gold and zeolite products. On May 16, 2012, we started trading on the NYSE MKT (now NYSE AMERICAN) under the symbol UAMY.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement, any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you and the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act.
 
These risks could materially affect our business, results of operation or financial condition and affect the value of our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment. You could lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”
 
Risks Related to Our Securities and the Offering
 
Future sales or other dilution of our equity could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
Sales of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights or convertible debt securities, or any combination of the foregoing, in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could negatively impact the price of our common stock.
 
In addition, the issuance of additional shares of our common stock, securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, other equity-linked securities, including preferred stock, warrants or rights or any combination of these securities pursuant to this prospectus will dilute the ownership interest of our common shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
 
We may need to seek additional capital. If this additional financing is obtained through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities convertible into equity securities or options, warrants or rights to acquire equity securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant dilution upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of such securities.
 
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive from the sale our securities pursuant to this prospectus and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.
 
Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from any offerings under this prospectus, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Except as described in any prospectus supplement or in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you, the net proceeds received by us from our sale of the securities described in this prospectus will be added to our general funds and will be used for general corporate purposes. Our management might not apply the net proceeds from offerings of our securities in ways that increase the value of your investment and might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of such net proceeds. You may not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use such proceeds.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Except as may be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you, we intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of debt, repurchases of common stock, capital expenditures, the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions, increasing our working capital and the financing of ongoing operating expenses and overhead.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the rights and preferences of the shares of any such series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may issue preferred stock in one or more series and has the authority to fix the designation and powers, rights and preferences and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions with respect to each class or series of such class without further vote or action by the stockholders, unless action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. Further, our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock.
 
As of December 31, 2020, we had 750,000 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding (non-convertible), 177,904 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding (non-convertible), and 1,751,005 shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding (convertible to common stock on a 1:1 basis).
 
Shares of our Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock have the following rights, preferences and privileges:
 
Voting
 
Our Series B preferred stock is non-voting, except if and when dividends payable on any of the Series B preferred stock is in default. Holders of our Series C preferred stock have the right to that number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series C shares, and holders of our Series D preferred stock may vote equally with the shares of our common stock and not as a separate class, and each holder of shares of Series D preferred stock is entitled to such number of votes as shall be equal to the whole number of shares of common stock into which such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Series D preferred stock are convertible immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent.
 
Dividends and Liquidation Rights
 
Holders of our Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive out of the net profits of our company, when and if declared by our Board of Directors, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of one cent ($0.01) per share, payable on the 31st day of December. In the event of the liquidation of our company, holders of our Series B preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, subject to the preference of the holders of our Series A preferred stock, $1.00 per share plus all accumulated dividends before any amounts shall be distributed among the holders of our common stock.
 
Holders of our C preferred stock have no dividend rights. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of our company, the holders of Series C shares shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of common stock an amount per share equal to $0.55, subject to the preferences of the holders of our outstanding Series B preferred stock.
 
Holders of our Series D preferred stock have no dividend rights. In the event of (i) any merger, sale, liquidation, or winding up of our company, or (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of our assets (including subsidiaries, joint ventures, or partnerships), or (iii) any other corporate change as defined in our articles of incorporation, the holders of Series D preferred stock are entitled to be paid out of the assets of our company in preferences to the holders of common stock but after payment and satisfaction of the liquidation preferences of the holders of our outstanding Series B and Series C preferred stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of $2.50 or the equivalent market value of the number of shares of common stock into which each share of Series D preferred is convertible. Additional rights for holders of Series D preferred stock are outlined in tour articles of incorporation.

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.
 
We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses, and the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture; or
 
in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.
 
Exercise of Warrants 
 
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
 
Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.
 
If any warrants represented by the warrant certificate are not exercised, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
 
Enforceability of Rights By Holders of Warrants
 
Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action the holder’s right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their terms.

In connection with a rights offering to our stockholders, we will distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our stockholders on the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering. The applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will describe the following terms of rights in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or other purchase arrangement that we may enter into in connection with the rights offering; and

Each right will entitle the holder thereof the right to purchase for cash such amount of shares of common stock or preferred stock, or any combination thereof, at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for such rights set forth in the prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void. Rights may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Upon receipt of payment and the proper completion and due execution of the rights certificate at the office of the rights agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the shares of common stock and/or preferred stock purchasable upon such exercise. We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us, from the purchasers of the securities or from both us and the purchasers. Any underwriters, dealers, agents or other investors participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters,” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and compensation and profits received by them on sale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting commissions, as that term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
Each time securities are offered by this prospectus, the prospectus supplement, if required, will set forth:
 
the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities;

The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, by means of one or more of the following transactions, which may include cross or block trades:
 
transactions on the NYSE American or any other organized market where the securities may be traded;
 
in the over-the-counter market;
 
in negotiated transactions;

a combination of such methods of sale.
 
 
13
 
 
If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions. Our securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. This prospectus and the prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the shares of our securities. 
 
If 5% or more of the net proceeds of any offering of our securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121.
 
To comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities offered by this prospectus will be offered and sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
 
Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their respective affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business. We will describe in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter the nature of any such relationship.
 
Certain persons participating in the offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading “Underwriting” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
