American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (PINK:AVOT) 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 American Video has under consideration in the province of Quebec.

Rare-earth minerals consist of terbium, which is used in flat-panel TVs and high-efficiency fluorescent lamps; and neodymium, key to the permanent magnets in high-efficiency electric motors. Rare-earth materials are not all that unusual. The series of nonferrous metals frequently occurs in the environment. According to Design Chain Associates, the majority of rare-earth materials are as common as copper, and even the rarest, is more common than gold.

Part of the market pressure on rare-earth minerals arises from new demand that green technologies has prompted. Industry, including electric- and hybrid-vehicle motors and wind turbines, requires magnets. Rare earth elements have become irreplaceable in clean tech such as hybrid and electric car motors, high-efficiency light bulbs, solar panels and wind turbines. They also play a key role in defense technologies such as cruise missiles, radar and sonar and precision-guided weapons.

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. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has noted that 91 percent of U.S. consumption of rare earths came from China between 2005 and 2008.

In addition, Power3 is a party to several litigation matters, most of which relate to various toxic debt instruments that were entered into by Power3 several years ago when it operated under the tenure of Chairman and CEO, Steven B.

As for those lawsuits that cannot be speedily resolved, Power3 will continue to rigorously defend its position.
