THOMPSON FALLS, MT / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2023 / United States Antimony Corporation ("USAC"), (NYSE: UAMY) is pleased to announce the addition of Michael A. McManus, age 80, as an Independent Director to its board.

Mr. McManus has previously served as president, chief executive officer, and director at Misonix, Inc., a medical, scientific, and industrial provider of ultrasonic and air pollution systems, since 1998. Prior to that tenure, he was president and chief executive officer at New York Bancorp Inc. from 1991 to 1998. From 1990 through November 1991, Mr. McManus was president and chief executive officer at Jamcor Pharmaceuticals Inc. Previously, Mr. McManus served as an assistant to the President of the United States from 1982 to 1985 and held positions with Pfizer Inc. and Revlon Group. Mr. McManus received a BA in economics from the University of Notre Dame and a JD from the Georgetown University Law Center. He served in the US Army Infantry from 1968 through 1970.

Chairman of the Board of USAC, Gary C. Evans, commented on Michael McManus’s addition to the board of directors, “With Michael McManus’s acceptance today as a new director on USAC’s board, the Company gains an outstanding talent and a seasoned veteran, with expertise and insight cultivated from the highest levels within top tier enterprises and institutions. His connections within our government should also prove to be valuable.  USAC is now on a rigorous path to maximize the value of its existing assets, grow through acquisition, and with the additional guidance from Mr. McManus, we have secured additional proper oversight.”
