American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT)

Rare earth elements or rare earth metals are a set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanoids plus scandium and yttrium. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare earth elements since they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanoids and exhibit similar chemical properties.

Despite their name, rare earth elements (with the exception of the radioactive promethium) are relatively plentiful in the Earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element at 68 parts per million (similar to copper). However, because of their geochemical properties rare earth elements are typically dispersed and not often found in concentrated and economically exploitable forms known as rare earth minerals. It was the very scarcity of these minerals (previously called "earths") that led to the term "rare earth". The first such mineral discovered was gadolinite, a compound of cerium, yttrium, iron, silicon and other elements. This mineral was extracted from a mine in the village of Ytterby in Sweden; many of the rare earth elements bear names derived from this location.

American Video Teleconferencing Corp. believes the rare earths industry is where it wants to maintain a very strong focus and is looking to expand its holdings. American Video Teleconferencing Corp. is normally known for its business and efforts of exploration in Rare Earth Elements. According to the Company, it will aggressively continue to search world-wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects in its future strategies.

American Video Teleconferencing Corp. recently announced that Wayne Lockhart, BSc. Geology, has joined the company as special geological advisor to American Video Teleconferencing Corp. for advancing the company's exploration programs on its newly acquired rare earth property in Quebec.

Mr. Lockhart has over 35 years experience in the mining business having worked for Falconbridge and Phelps Dodge in eastern Canada, Anglo American Corp.
