We have acted as special counsel to United States Antimony Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284057) (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offering by the Company of up to $100,000,000 of any combination of securities of the types specified therein. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on April 24, 2025. We are delivering this opinion letter in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus”) filed on September 17, 2025 by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which replaces, updates, amends and supplements the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement, dated April 24, 2025. The Prospectus relates to the offering by the Company of up to $65,000,000 in aggregate of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, covered by the Registration Statement. The Shares are being offered and sold by the sales agents named in, and pursuant to, that certain Sales Agreement, dated November 12, 2024, as amended and restated on September 17, 2025 (the “Agreement”), among the Company and the sales agents named therein. This opinion is being rendered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Prospectus, (iii) the Agreement, (iv) the Company’s Certificate of Formation and Bylaws, (v) certain resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors approving the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement and (vi) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.
