ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
FinancialCondition, continued

The pounds of antimony produced and sold was up for the quarter, but the sales price per pound was down from the prior year. A temporary decrease in the delivery of raw materials from a major supplier in June resulted in decreased results for the quarter, but the deliveries have resumed and are on schedule. The pounds of product (raw material) from Mexico increased for the quarter and the six months, and we should see additional increases in the upcoming quarters. Costs incurred in getting the Mexico plants in operation were substantial in 2012, and will continue during the remainder of the year as production is being ramped up. Conversely, we will have more antimony products from Mexico to sell, and the cost of raw material per pound of antimony produced will decrease as we are able to work more raw materials from Mexico into our production. In addition, we expect to have increased revenue from precious metals as we process more of the raw materials supplied by our Mexico division. We contracted in July 2012 to install a natural gas pipeline for our Mexico smelter operation. Our fuel costs are our second largest expense after raw material in Mexico, and we are expecting the switch from propane to natural gas to decrease our Mexico fuel costs by 75%. The pipeline should be completed in approximately nine to twelve months.

The tons of zeolite sold increased from the comparable periods for 2011, and the sales price per ton was also better than the prior year. We expect this to continue through the remainder of the year.

Our general and administrative costs are significantly higher than the prior year, and management is aggressively seeking ways to bring this cost down.

Financial Condition and Liquidity     June 30, 2012       December 31, 2011

Current Assets                       $     5,749,111     $         2,816,981
Current liabilities                       (1,260,856 )            (1,595,433 )
  Net Working Capital                $     4,488,255     $         1,221,548

Cash provided (used) by operations   $       582,617     $           564,041
Cash (used) by investing                  (1,613,677 )            (2,239,441 )
Cash provided (used) by financing:
  Principal paid on long-term debt          (128,298 )              (124,722 )
  Sale of Stock                            4,711,842               1,242,780
  Other                                     (113,908 )               113,908
   Net change in cash                $     3,438,576     $          (443,434 )

Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2012 and 2011 was $4,469,636 and $1,136,197, respectively, and was primarily generated from the sale of common stock.

Our liquidity (cash) and working capital has improved by approximately $3.5 million from December 31, 2011. This was primarily due to an increase in cash, which is approximately the net cash received from issuing $4.7 million of common stock, and expending $1.4 million for capital improvements and operations. Decreases in our accounts receivable increased our cash position at June 30, 2012, and the primary decreases to cash were for payments of accounts payable, checks issued but not cleared at end of year, and payments on long term debt. We have lines of credit of $202,000 which have not been drawn on at June 30, 2012.
