EUREKA, UT / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / Applied Minerals, Inc., (the "Company") a leading supplier of halloysite clay products marketed under the DRAGONITE^® trade name, is pleased to Introduce its DRAGONITE-PM-850 Grade for cementitious applications.

DRAGONITE-PM-850 is a reactive grade of the Company's DRAGONITE halloysite clay product. DRAGONITE-PM-850 is a Class N pozzolan. Under ASTM C618-23e1, DRAGONITE-PM-850 exceeds the 7-day and 28-day compressive strength of the control by 26% and 25%, respectively.

The partial replacement of cement with tubular halloysite clay has been shown to materially increase flexural strength, reduce total porosity and decrease median pore diameter in a standard cement mortar formulation. DRAGONITE-PM-850 is ideal for white and off-white cementitious applications.

Sample requests for the Company's DRAGONITE-PM-850 for both architectural and structural applications should be submitted to info@appliedminerals.com.
