A MONOPOLY WHOSE TIME HAS COME! Found this one from a month or two ago. Circulated this, imho briljant written "report" about AMY, among several european investors around 14:00. Combined with todays news with a section
"Ïn my opinion, one of the most important milestones in the development of Artillery Peak is a Pilot Plant program currently in its final phase of completion right now. Kemetco Research Inc. out of Richmond B.C. has worked very closely with the management of AMY to perfect and patent a process to produce EMM. Reported results from the Pilot Plant program are nothing short of fantastic.
Following the completion of the Pilot Plant program will be the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study which is expected no later than the end of November. Upon completion of this work AMY will have a definitive cost to produce a lb of EMM along with a roadmap for the development of Artillery Peak."
Value1008 posted it before, all credit! Mike says bargain at 0,50 , at 0,40 we're at 0,36, no suprice I bought another few today, we're trading via broker 007 td securities (like many others)
A new poster at I-Hub, Sonny, today mentioned something about himself and then forwarded to the board an investment e-letter update note on AMY from Mike Hoy. Here are both posts from Sonny combined into one. I've added some highlighting, as is my custom (so certain things stand out a bit more)...:

HiFolks, I am new to posting here. I found out aboutAMY in 07 but didn't invest very much till the Feb. 16, 2009 Private placementwhen I pretty much went all in by buying over 1 million shares. So I amvery biased and think this has the greatest risk/reward ratio of any stock Ihave seen in over 50 years of looking.
I found out about AMY thru emails posted by [Mike Hoy] mhoy@neb.rr.com who has a free email list tobring ideas to the public's attention on stocks he feels have great potential.
Ithink anywhere around 50 cents is a screaming bargain and have loaded up mykids, my grandkids, and our accounts paying up to 75 cents over the past 2years and will continue to purchase as funds become available up to $1 as Ican't find anything with more potential and less risk.
Here’s the latest article [on AMY] that was sent last month from Mike Hoybut here it is if you want to take a look. Mike says it is OK to sign up forhis free email at mhoy@neb.rr.com
Likemyself he is very biased [in favor of AMY] and he and Wanda own over 2% of the company.

A MONOPOLY WHOSE TIME HAS COME!
AMERICAN MANGANESE $.40/sh!
Mike Hoy - 10-16-11
For severalyears I have followed, owned and updated the progress of Roche Deboule; now AmericanManganese (AMY.v Canada, AMYZF.pk USA).
In that period of time I have watchedthis company develop a very unique and desperately needed critical metalsmanganese project called Artillery Peak in Arizona.
Artillery Peakis a freak body of ore! Work on this project, along with a unique process,currently patent pending, to turn raw manganese ore into Electrolytic ManganeseMetal EMM and Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide EMD is progressing very well.
In my opinion, one of the most important milestones in the development ofArtillery Peak is a Pilot Plant programcurrently in its final phase of completion right now. Kemetco Research Inc.out of Richmond B.C. has worked very closely with the management of AMY toperfect and patent a process to produce EMM. Reported results from thePilot Plant program are nothing short of fantastic.
Following the completion of the Pilot Plant program will be the completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study which is expectedno later than the end of November. Upon completion of this work AMY willhave a definitive cost to produce a lb of EMM along with a roadmap for thedevelopment of Artillery Peak.
China currently produces roughly 97.5% of the world’s supply of EMM with SouthAfrica supplying the remaining 2.5% used mainly to make EMD. There is no supply of EMM and EMD in NorthAmerica. Both China and South Africa have estimated costs to produce EMM andEMD of $1.30/lb and rising.
At this point in time no one knows exactly what the final cost will be per lbat Artillery Peak. Two years ago costs were originally estimated to be lessthan $.50/lb. It is anticipated that updated costs will beless than $.65/lb.
Management has no doubt that AMY willbe the world’s low cost producer of EMM and EMD. The bonus to this isthe possibility that AMY’s cost could be half of China’s and South Africa’srising cost.
“CHARGE-er-UP”
The demand forEMM has risen from 2.6 billion/lbs/yr to 3.0 billion lbs/yr. The demand for EMDcould explode as dramatic breakthroughs are being made every day in thedeveloping battery sector. It is too early to tell but it isbelieved that cutting edge technology will be successful in the creation of abattery that will make everything on the market today obsolete.
Imagine being able to develop a battery that will enable an electric car totravel twice the distance of current technology with a 90% recharge in a timeof less than five minutes. I believe “Charge-er-UP!” instead of “Fill-er-UP!”is destined to become the new catch phrase when it comes to refueling theautomobile of the future.
Take a guess as to where the EMD to makethese hi-tech batteries is most likely going to originate? The burgeoningbattery sector is an absolute bonus to shareholders as this is a market thathas really begun to develop over the last year. If this sector continues tounfold as it looks like it will, shareholders in AMY could reap huge rewards assales per lb are much more lucrative in this sector versus the very handsomeprofit expected from the EMM market. Combining profits from both sectors willgive shareholders a 1-2 punch that will be very hard to beat.
I believe this breakthrough technologyis exactly what the USA needs to jump start the electric vehicle industry intohigh gear. This will have the combined effect of dramatically lessening theUSA’s dependence on foreign oil while keeping billions of dollars at home.Dollars which can be used to create new jobs in the energy sector which in turnwill lessen the dependence on foreign oil even more.
This technology will create an untold number of new jobs while taking a majorstep to solve one of the world’s most pressing problems man has created withthe pollution of the world’s environment.
ARTILLERY PEAK PROCESS VERSUS THE CHINESE NIGHTMARE!
I stated in thebeginning of this update that Artillery Peak is a freak body of ore. Not onlywill AMY be the world’s low cost producer of EMM and EMD but the process to doso is as environmentally friendly as anyone could hope for. This is the exactopposite of the environmental challenges that China faces to process their rawmanganese ore into EMM.
There is a link to a video below showing and explaining how this process works.The irony to this process is the fact that water used in the process isfiltered throwing off a by-product, which can be sold for $100/ton generatingincome, leaving the purified water to be used all over again in the next batch.
Originally itwas anticipated that 3kg-5kg/hr of processed metal would be recovered duringthe Pilot Program. Much to managements delight the study has found that therecovery method is many times more efficient returning an average of 20.8kg/hrwith a recovery ratio better than 92%.
Over the next five years China isexpected to close down roughly 1/3-1/2 of its current EMM production. Anycompany producing 5,000 ton/yr is expected to be closed with the remainingcompanies being merged into ten companies. Most of these closures will be dueto the environmental nightmares being created as a result of the chemicals andprocedures the Chinese companies must use to convert raw manganese ore intoEMM. Polluted air and water from the making of EMM has created an absoluteenvironmental nightmare in China; unlike AMY’s process which purifies the waterto be used again.
END USER DILEMMA
There has been along line of end users of EMM and EMD who have sat down with the management ofAMY familiarizing themselves with the Artillery Peak project and its uniqueprocess of making EMM and EMD.
Theseend users all have horror stories associated with their purchases of EMM fromChina.I’m sure they all share many sleepless nights worrying aboutthe quality of EMM, delivery dates, and potential future shortages due to theshutting down of current Chinese production coupled with a growing worldwidedemand. Let’s not forget the additional 20% export tax from China and the 14%USA import taxes they are forced to pay on top of all other costs.
What would a good night’s sleep without the worry of their future EMM supply beworth to them?
It isanticipated at this point in time AMY will initially produce 100,000,000+lbs/yr EMM starting in 2014. This is a very small percentage of total supply ina 3 billion lbs/yr market.
Ibelieve the day is not far away when these end users are going to be forced into acorner where they must guarantee themselves a piece of the supply of EMM andEMD from AMY.
I believe their light will come on bright when the time comes for management tobegin “taking orders” on their future sales. This will bring a crystalclear wake-up call to end users who will find themselves experiencing many moresleepless nights if they suddenly find themselves without a piece of the“Artillery Peak Pie.”
Actually,the real question these end users should be asking themselves is “would we liketo remain totally dependent upon a foreign and questionable supply of EMM orwould we like to become North America’s supplier of EMM and EMD receiving ourown supply for free from the profits we will make selling to our competition; assumingof course we owned Artillery Peak?”
Management has worked very hard forseveral years to develop Artillery Peak in combination with educating theinvesting public on the boring, but very profitable, subjects of EMM and EMD.Their hard work is about to pay off as the completion of the Pilot Plant Studyand the Pre-Feasibility Report is a monumental step that will transition AMYfrom being an “Exploratory Junior Mining Company” to a “Developmental JuniorMining Company!”
Shareholders, investors and most importantly North Americanend users of EMM and EMD are about to recognize that AMY with its ArtilleryPeak project is a North American Monopoly Whose Time Has Come.
CONCLUSION!
Ontop of AMY being an excellent investment on its own merit I also believe theworld’s economic and financial structure will be challenged to its very coreover the next few years, if not sooner. I believe that as long as theFed exists currency creation will continue to flow like water over NiagaraFalls. Traditional investments, such as Treasuries, will inevitably become “TheNew Junk Bonds” and the owners of those bonds most likely will be wiped outthinking that their investments were safe from the world’s turmoil.
This thinking has led me to believe that my money is best positioned incompanies where I have resources and precious metals worth many times myinvestment. Companies exactly like AMY where 19+ billion lbs of ElectrolyticManganese Metal is buried safely in the ground just waiting for the day to comewhere my investment will be returned to me many times over!
The once sacred investment commandment of “Backed By the Full Faith and Credit”no longer gives me “Peace of Mind” in owning an IOU whose safety was onceunquestioned. Mathematically I find it practically impossible to see the futureredemption of these bonds paid in anything other than additional debt whichdoes nothing but compound the original problem. Our elected officials havechosen fiscal inflation over common sense all for the sake of garnering votes.
History has shown that governments and currencies come and go as a result ofdecades of financial and economic abuse. I also know that, on a worst casebasis, when the dust settles shareholders of AMY will be paid for their salesof EMM and EMD in “The Currency of the Day!”
Being the world’s low cost producer of EMM and EMD guarantees that when thedust settles AMY will be “The Last Man Standing” in this sector.
Onewould think the fantastic results already publicly released from the Pilot Programwould have the share price of AMY punching out new highs. World-wide economicand financial uncertainty coupled with overall market weakness has brought theshare price back to what I feel are bargain basement prices.
With the stock trading at $.40/sh with afully diluted market cap of $56,000,000 and $7,000,000 cash on hand I feelanyone looking to make an initial purchase or build positions would have atough time beating these prices.
As always Folks, these are my own opinions and it is up to each of you to doyour own homework as in the end your opinion may vary from mine. For yourconvenience, I have attached links to a video on the Pilot Program and a coupleof research reports which I view to be very informative. They go into muchgreater detail on corporate events than I have written here.
Am I biased? Youbet as Wanda and I own 2% of the company and I am very pleased with theresults. AMY is our core investment position. I am also hired as an outsideconsultant.
