American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (PINK:AVOT) is pleased to announce 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 17 elements that are classified as “rare earth” are becoming an increasingly important part of our daily lives. Rare earth metals are the life blood of modern computers, batteries and alternative energies. For example, there are nearly ten pounds of the rare earth element, lanthanum, in every Toyota Prius engine. In addition, rare earth elements are vital to military technology. Contrary to the name, rare earth metals aren’t particularly rare and can be found in most any continent. In recent weeks the US government has made important steps to increase production of these metals, as they will play an important part in President Obama’s overhaul of U.S. energy.

Experts warn that the U.S. depends upon China for almost its entire supply of rare earths, and has let its own rare earth production languish despite having about 15 percent of the world’s reserves. A draft of a Chinese rare earths plan for 2009-2015 states that China’s own industrial demand could soon lead to restrictions or bans on the export of rare earths.

American Video will aggressively continue to search world-wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects.
