Applied Minerals Receives Follow-on Order for Its DRAGONITE Halloysite Clay for the Specialty Molecular Sieve Market

17.05.2016  |  Marketwired

NEW YORK, NY  --(Marketwired - May 17, 2016) - Applied Minerals Inc. (OTCQB:  AMNL)  (the "Company" or "Applied Minerals"), a leading global producer of halloysite clay and advanced natural iron oxides, today announced it has received a follow-on order for a grade of its DRAGONITE „¢ halloysite clay-based product from a leading global specialty chemicals company (the "Customer") for use in a specialty zeolite molecular sieve application.

A purchase order of $172,000 from the Customer calls for delivery in the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2016 and brings the total value of orders to date received from the Customer to $400,000 since the fourth calendar quarter of 2015. The Company anticipates the receipt of additional purchase orders from the Customer as it continues to see the benefits provided by the DRAGONITE solution and, potentially, as the production rate of the customer accelerates.

Additionally, Applied Minerals continues its development work with several other catalyst/zeolite producers, three of which have validated the performance of DRAGONITE and have advanced to larger scale trials. The Company believes each of these customers represents a significant revenue opportunity and continues to work closely with each by providing technical guidance as necessary.

As previously mentioned, halloysite from Applied Minerals' Dragon Mine has a long history of providing value-added solutions to the catalyst and adsorbent industries. Between 1949 and 1976, Filtrol Corporation, the largest producer of petroleum refining catalysts at the time, mined and supplied over 1.1 million tons of halloysite from the Dragon Mine for use in its FCC hydrocracking and hydrotreating catalysts in addition to catalyst supports. The product was regarded as one of the most effective catalysts on the market, especially for the refining of higher sulfur crude oils until an underground fire at the mine in 1976 ceased production and discontinued its availability. The Company has committed a significant amount of effort to reintroducing its halloysite solution in the context of modern day refining processes.
