Penny Stock Alert: Buy Rating on Applied Minerals (AMNL)

One of Wall Street’s top analysts firms reached down into the depths of the exchanges past the NYSE, past the NASDAQ, past the AMEX and into the OTCBB to find the world’s number one source of Halloysite Clay and its technology related solutions. Rarely do penny stocks get coverage by big investment firms, let alone those on the OTCBB, so when Roth Capital Partners, invited this penny stock, Applied Minerals, Inc. (OTC: AMNL), to present at the ROTH Capital Partners 24th Annual Growth Stock Conference, it commanded attention.

Applied Minerals, Inc. (OTC: AMNL), marketing their products under the Dragonite™ tradename, is now covered by analysts at Roth Capital. Roth Capital set a “buy” rating on AMNL.

The fully owned 230 acres by AMNL in Utah, the Dragon Mine, is the only known mine in the Western Hemisphere large enough for commercial production of Halloysite Clay. Halloysite is a 1:1 aluminosilicate clay mineral which is comprised of aluminium (20.90%), silicon (21.76%) and hydrogen (1.56%). AMNL products are marketed under the DRAGONITE brand name and far too large to list.
