NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Minerals, Inc. (the "Company") AMNL is pleased to announce the launch of its updated corporate website located at www.appliedminerals.com.  Over the last three years, as the Company has made significant investment to become a leading global producer and application developer of halloysite clay products, it has also focused significant effort on the development of a corporate website that, in our opinion, will become the premier source of halloysite clay-based commercial application information for researchers and developers from around the world.  We believe the updated corporate website will not only help accelerate the development of applications utilizing the Company's Dragonite™ line of halloysite clay products but will also serve as a powerful educational tool for investors who want to obtain a more in-depth understanding of our products and the functionality they provide to a wide range of commercial applications.
