American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT)
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.
In many applications, Rare Earths metals are advantageous because of their relatively low toxicity. For example, the most common types of rechargeable batteries contain either cadmium (Cd) or lead. Rechargeable lanthanum-nickel-hydride (La-Ni-H) batteries are gradually replacing Ni-Cd batteries in computer and communications applications and could eventually replace lead-acid batteries in automobiles.
Although more expensive, La-Ni-H batteries offer greater energy density, better charge-discharge characteristics, and fewer environmental problems upon disposal or recycling. As another example, red and red-orange pigments made with La or Ce are superseding traditional commercial pigments containing Cd or other toxic heavy metals.
American Video Teleconferencing Corp. is normally known for its business and efforts of exploration in Rare Earth Elements. According to the Company, it aggressively continues to search world-wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects in its future strategies.
