Applied Minerals Inc (AMNL)

[HelloKitty8]

I know we're on rough waters right now but I'd like to summarize a few things and reflect. I also need the LT's inputs to correct me if I'm wrong.
- So the company started communication with the markets, reveling a major breakthrough in the battery technology. They can create silicon out of halloysite, thanks to the high purity of the mineral they mine out of their own land. This can replace graphite, which we know is extremely expensive due to the high demand in the EV sector. This alone should reevaluate the resource the company owns and have readily available.

- Multiple patent applications popping up, almost daily so we know that other companies are engaged with this specific purity mineral. That should add value to the company as well.

- Multiple purchase orders were disclosed by the company in different industries like healthcare, oil and gas industry, polymer technology and flame retardant industry. The mineral is versatile and certain purchase volume can be easily predicted no matter the economy's state...

- Applied Minerals started to present itself in meetings with government officials due to the strategic value of halloysite, which is started to be recognized... also applied for a U.S. DOE STTR Phase II Award. Phase I was already awarded and they don't just give out those things to anyone.

In my opinion this company is ripe for a big move by either a joint venture, a merger/acquisition but frankly if they find a way to finance future steps needed, they're ready to stand alone as well.
This is a long hold for me but because all of the above I do not mind holding this company. =)
