Atlas Mining to Present Paper to International Minerals Congress; Microtubule Attributes of Dragon Mine Halloysite Topic of Presentation.Business Editors/Technology Writers Industrial Minerals International Congress OSBURN, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2004 Atlas Mining Company (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :ALMI ALMI Application Level Multicast Infrastructure ALMI Automated Listing and Mapping Instrument (US Census Bureau) ), a natural resource and mining company, announced today its advisory board member, Dr. Ron Price, will address mineral experts from around the world at the 17th annual Industrial Minerals International Congress (IM17) in Barcelona, Spain. Atlas Mining President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. William Jacobson William Jacobson (1803-1884) was Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University (1848–1865) and Bishop of Chester (1865–1884). He married Eleanor Jane Turner, the youngest daughter of the banker Dawson Turner in 1836. Their son was the surgeon W.H.A. Jacobson. said, "Dr. Price, who is the inventor of the patent on microtubules Microtubules Slender, elongated anatomical channels in worms. Mentioned in: Antihelminthic Drugs technology, will address the convention this coming Wednesday." The US Navy owns the microtubule microtubule Tubular structure enclosed by a membrane found within animal and plant cells. Of varying length, they have several functions. They help give shape to many cells and are major components of cilia and flagella, participate in the formation of the spindle during patent and is currently researching various ways to use micro-tubular technology to better protect its ship's hulls from barnacles and other damaging buildup. Halloysite microtubules can act as time-release capsules, dissolving over time. They can be filled with such things as antifouling paint, anti-scalants, herbicides, pest repellents, and other agents that could benefit from a controlled release. The length of the micro-tube controls the time-release duration. Dr. Price will be presenting his paper, "New Horizons for Halloysite in Micro-tubular Technology", to an audience focused on both "new" and "growth" markets within the international minerals community. The Industrial Minerals International Congress brings together senior executives, operating in the producing, trading, and consuming sectors from all over the world to discuss the latest developments within the international marketplace of industrial minerals. Over the three-day conference, presentations from industry leaders and technological experts will provide a unique window on news and developments in the world of minerals. "This is our first opportunity to present, literally to the world, the microtubule and time-release potentials that exist with our halloysite," said Jacobson. "This will change the way many time-release applications are developed and deployed, and we expect a favorable reaction from the worldwide mineral community." The Dragon Mine is a rich cache of the mineral "halloysite". Historically, halloysite has been used in the manufacturing of bone china, fine china, and porcelain products. However, internal and other chemists and scientists have discovered new uses for the processed mineral. The Dragon Mine halloysite also has a unique tubular quality, not unlike a grain of rice, only considerably smaller and hollow.
