American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT.PK) - Rare earth elements have become irreplaceable in clean tech, for instance in hybrid and electric vehicle motors, high-efficiency lamps, solar panels and wind turbines. They even play a key role in defense technologies which include cruise missiles, radar and sonar and precision-guided weapons.
Experts warn that the U.S. depends upon China for almost all of its supply of rare earths, and has let its own rare earth production languish despite possessing about 15 % of the world's reserves. A draft of a Chinese rare earths plan for 2009-2015 expresses that China's own industrial requirement could soon cause restrictions or bans on the export of rare earths.
AVOT previously reported that it has hired a French speaking geologist to search the archives of the Quebec Department of Mines for Rare Earths showings not on a current computer file. The company believes the rare earths industry is where it wants to maintain a very strong focus and is looking to expand its holdings. The Province of Quebec is rated the number one jurisdiction in the world to carry out mineral exploration. The Quebec Government gives a rebate up to 45% for property expenditures.
The company will aggressively continue to search world-wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects.'
