American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (Pink Sheets:AVOT), “the company”, is pleased to announce that it is presently in final discussions to enter into a formal agreement to acquire an exclusive option on a molybdenum property in the Otter lake area in the province of Quebec, Canada. The property has been dormant since the 1960's when Hupon Mining and Exploration carried out surface work, stripping, trenching and a minor drill program of 445 feet contained in 11 drill holes. Some of the sample results from the trenching in 1962 showed 0.94% to 25% molybdenum averaging 5-10%. These values were obtained from assessment files in the Department of Mines in Quebec City.

This property is only one of several advanced stage properties the company has under consideration in the province of Quebec.

China has been one of the main supplier to the US of the Earth's rare mineral supplies, with these rare minerals American manufacturers are able to make high-tech products such as cell phones, wind turbines, and guided missiles but all that might come to a screeching halt now that China has stopped supplying the material, the New York Times has reported.

In the wake of China's decision America now must look for other sources, that will be more reliable for our future needs, and American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (AVOT.PK) may just be the new source, here's why.

American Video believes the rare earths industry is where it wants to maintain a very strong focus and is looking to expand its holdings. It is currently looking for these Rare Earths Minerals in Canada, the US's Northern neighbor.

Video Teleconferencing is seeking a contractor to do an air borne Mag-EM radiometric survey for its present holdings and the immediate surrounding area looking for future acquisitions. Video Teleconferencing is pleased to be working in the Province of Quebec as it 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.
