UNITED STATES LIME & MINERALS, INC. PURCHASES
LIMESTONE PROCESSING PLANT IN COLORADO
Dallas, Texas, June 8, 1999 - United States Lime & Minerals, Inc.
(NASDAQ: USLM) today announced that it has purchased the plant and equipment
assets of Calco, Inc. in Salida, Colorado, together with all finished product
inventories. Calco, Inc. produces pulverized limestone products in bagged and
bulk form, and the plant facilities also include a dormant lime kiln.
The purchase was completed for cash through the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Colorado Lime Company. Details of the transaction were not
disclosed.
"This purchase was a logical extension of our existing markets,
particularly since Calco, Inc. processes limestone from mineral reserves
already in the Company's ownership," commented Herb Wilson, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "The business presently has annual revenues of approximately
$1.0 million, however, we have received a permit for the operation of the lime
kiln, and expect to complete the necessary engineering with a view to
restarting quicklime production next year."
United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. is a Nasdaq-listed public company
with headquarters in Dallas, Texas, supplying lime and limestone products
primarily to the steel, paper, agriculture, environmental protection and
construction industries from plants situated in Texas, Arkansas and Colorado.
