DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS History
Antimony Division
Antimony smelting and precious metals are located in our plant
mining operations were suspended
For 2021 and since 1983, we have used foreign sources for raw materials and there are risks of interruptions in purchases from these sources and/or volatile changes in world market prices of these materials that are not controlled by us. We have driving resources
We currently own 100% of the common stock, equipment and real estate leases
In our current operations
Page 18 of 32 Table of Contents
We estimate (but have not independently confirmed) that our current share of the domestic market and the international market for antimony oxide products is less than approximately 4% and 1%, respectively. We are the only ones that matter
· We have a reputation for quality products delivered on a timely basis. · We have the only two operating, permitted, antimony smelters in North andCentral America . · We are the only domestic producer of antimony products. · We can ship on short notice to domestic customers. · We are vertically integrated, with raw materials from our own mines, mills, and smelter inMexico , along with the raw materials from exclusive supply agreements we have with numerous ore and raw material suppliers. · Our smelter inCoahuila is the largest operating antimony smelter inMexico orthe United States with a current maximum capacity of about 32,600 pounds of feed per day and permitting for 50% to 70% expansion. Zeolite Division
We own 100%
We do not have any zeolite stock or inventory.
“Zeolite” refers to a group of industrial minerals consisting of hydrated aluminosilicates that hold cations such as calcium, sodium, ammonium, various heavy metals and potassium in their crystal cages. Water is stored freely in the gaps in the network. Due to its high CEC of about 180-220 meg/100 g, hardness and high clinoptilolite content, absence of clay minerals and low sodium content, BRZ zeolite is considered one of the best zeolites in the world. BRZ’s zeolite beds have properties that make the mineral useful for a variety of purposes, including:
? Soil Amendment and Fertilizer. Zeolite has been successfully used to fertilize golf courses, sports fields, parks and common areas, and high value agricultural crops ? Water Filtration. Zeolite is used for particulate, heavy metal and ammonium removal in swimming pools, municipal water systems, fisheries, fish farms, and aquariums. ? Sewage Treatment. Zeolite is used in sewage treatment plants to remove nitrogen and as a carrier for microorganisms. ? Nuclear Waste and Other Environmental Cleanup. Zeolite has shown a strong ability to selectively remove strontium, cesium, radium, uranium, and various other radioactive isotopes from solution. Zeolite can also be used for the cleanup of soluble metals such as mercury, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, antimony, calcium, silver and uranium. ? Odor Control. A major cause of odor around cattle, hog, and poultry feed lots is the generation of the ammonium in urea and manure. The ability of zeolite to absorb ammonium prevents the formation of ammonia gas, which disperses the odor. Page 19 of 32 Table of Contents ? Gas Separation. Zeolite has been used for some time to separate gases, to re-oxygenate downstream water from sewage plants, smelters, pulp and paper plants, and fish ponds and tanks, and to remove carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from methane generators as organic waste, sanitary landfills, municipal sewage systems, animal waste treatment facilities, and is excellent in pressure swing apparatuses. ? Animal Nutrition. According to other research, feeding up to 2% zeolite increases growth rates, decreases conversion rates, and prevents scours. BRZ does not make these claims. ? Miscellaneous Uses. Other uses include catalysts, petroleum refining, concrete, solar energy and heat exchange, desiccants, pellet binding, horse and kitty litter, floor cleaner and carriers for insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.
