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.

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