Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets to determine whether current events or circumstances warrant
adjustment to such carrying amounts. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying amount. If this comparison indicates
that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is typically calculated using discounted expected future cash flows
where observable fair values are not readily determinable. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair
value of assets. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value,
less cost to sell. The Company has determined that there was no impairment of its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2019. The
Company determined there was an impairment of its long-lived assets at December 31, 2018.</P>

Compensation) and 505-50 (Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees), which provide guidance in accounting for share-based awards
exchanged for services rendered and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service
period. The Company instituted a formal long-term and short-term incentive plan on November 20, 2012, which was approved by its
shareholders. Prior to that date, we did not have a formal equity plan, but all equity grants, including stock options and warrants,
were approved by our Board of Directors. We determine the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted to non-employees
as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement
assumptions as of the earlier of either of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity
instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty&rsquo;s performance is complete. Beginning in the quarter ended
June 30, 2013 the Company began using the simplified method to determine the expected term for any options granted because the
Company did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The
Company previously utilized the contractual term as the expected term.</P>

Accounting Standards Board (the &ldquo;FASB&rdquo;) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term
lease). The liability is equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain
adjustments, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be
classified as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases
under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under
the prior accounting standard). Lessor accounting is similar to the prior model, but updated to align with certain changes to the
lessee model (e.g., certain definitions, such as initial direct costs, have been updated) and the new revenue recognition standard
that was adopted in 2018.</P>

underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company&rsquo;s obligation to make lease payments arising
from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of
the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company&rsquo;s leases is not readily determinable,
the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The
operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives.</P>

for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">In July 2017, the FASB issued
ASU 2017-11 to simplify the accounting for equity contracts (e.g., freestanding warrants) or equity-linked embedded features (e.g.,
conversion options in convertible instruments) with down round features. Under the new guidance, entities are no longer required
to consider down round features when determining whether these financial instruments containing a down round feature are indexed
to the issuer&rsquo;s own stock pursuant to ASC 815-40. Being indexed to an entity&rsquo;s own stock is required for a freestanding
financial instrument to be classified in shareholders&rsquo; equity and may exempt an embedded feature from bifurcation and derivative
accounting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on January
1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all financial instruments with down round features through
a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated
and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded
a transition adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $4,950,396. The new standard had a material impact on the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet, but did not materially impact the Company&rsquo;s consolidated operating results and had no impact on the Company&rsquo;s
cash flows.</P>

management was granted performance-based options to purchase 27.5 million shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock at $0.06 per

vested as management was able to (i) close the sale of an aggregate of $600,000 of units (consisting&nbsp;of a share of common
stock of the Company and a warrant to buy 0.25 of a share of common stock of the Company) at $0.04 per unit and (ii) establish
toll processing arrangements with two toll processors of halloysite that, in management&rsquo;s good faith belief, can process
halloysite to the Company&rsquo;s specifications. An additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the performance-based options vested
on January 18, 2018 when management generated $900,000 of additional cash proceeds through (i) the sale of common stock and (ii)
the licensing of a right to explore the Dragon Mine property for certain precious metals. The vesting of the remaining 8.3%, 8.3%
and 8.4% of the performance-based options occurs when (i) EBITDA is positive over a twelve-month period, (ii) EBITDA is at or greater
than $2 million over a twelve-month period and (iii) EBITDA is at or greater than $4 million over a twelve-month period, respectively.
At March 31, 2019, management, based on its financial expectations for 2019, did not consider the vesting of the remaining 25%
of the option grant to be probable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Applied Minerals, Inc. is focused primarily
on (i) the development, marketing and sale&nbsp;of our halloysite clay-based DRAGONITE&trade; line of products for use in advanced
applications such as, but not limited to, reinforcement additives for polymer composites, flame retardant additives for polymers,
catalysts, controlled release carriers for paints and coatings, strength reinforcement additives for cement, concrete, mortars
and grouts, advanced ceramics, rheology additives for drilling fluids, environmental remediation media, and carriers of agricultural
agents and (ii) the development, marketing and sale&nbsp;of our AMIRON&trade; line of iron oxide products for pigmentary and technical
applications. Halloysite is an aluminosilicate with a tubular structure that provides functionality for a number of applications.
Iron oxides are inorganic compounds that are widely used as pigments in paints, coatings and colored concrete.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company owns the Dragon Mine, which
has significant deposits of high-quality halloysite clay and iron oxide. The 267-acre property is located in southwestern Utah
and its resource was mined for halloysite on a large-scale, commercial basis between 1949 and 1976 for use as a petroleum cracking
catalyst. The mine was idle until 2001 when the Company leased it to initially develop its halloysite resource for advanced, high-value
applications. We purchased 100% of the property in 2005. After further geological characterization of the mine, the Company identified
a high-purity, natural iron oxide resource that it has commercialized to supply certain pigmentary and technical markets.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company has a mineral processing plant
with a capacity of up to 45,000 tons per annum for certain applications that is currently dedicated to the processing of its AMIRON
product. The Company has a smaller processing facility with a capacity of 5,000 &ndash; 10,000 tons per annum that is currently
dedicated to its halloysite resource. The Company believes it can increase its halloysite production capacity to meet an increase
in demand through (i) an expansion of our on-site production capacity through a relatively modest capital investment and (ii) the
use of a manufacturing tolling agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company currently sells its DRAGONITE
product as functional additive for advanced molecular sieves, as a nucleating agent for injection molding applications and as a
binder for ceramic applications. For a number of markets mentioned above, the Company is currently working with a number of customers,
which are in the latter stages of commercializing new and existing products that will utilize DRAGONITE as a functional additive.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Effective January 1, 2019, the
Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability is equal
to the present value of lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for
initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as either
operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior
accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior
accounting standard). Lessor accounting is similar to the prior model, but updated to align with certain changes to the
lessee model (e.g., certain definitions, such as initial direct costs, have been updated) and the new revenue recognition
standard that was adopted in 2018. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Standards section of Note 3 &lsquo;&lsquo;Significant
Accounting Policies&rsquo;&rsquo; to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of the
adoption of this new lease standard.</P>

31, 2019 totaled $120,527, an increase of $74,880 or 164%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was driven primarily
by the sale of DRAGONITE totaling $96,000 to a manufacturer of high performance molecular sieves, partially offset by the absence
of a sale of DRAGONITE totaling $11,022 to a manufacturer of refining catalysts, the absence of the sale of DRAGONITE totaling
$6,021 to a distributor of products used for R&amp;D work, and a $3,600, or 47%, decline in the sale of DRAGONITE to a manufacturer
of ceramic clay bodies. No sales of AMIRON occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.</P>

months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $1,072,042, a decrease of $677,695, or 39%, compared to the same period in 2018. The decline
was driven primarily by a $386,476, or 32%, decline in general and administrative costs and a $323,144, or 100%, decline in depreciation
expense. The decline in depreciation expense resulted from an impairment of long-lived assets in the fourth calendar quarter of

costs associated with the operation of the Company&rsquo;s two mills, the cost of mining and milling supplies and the cost of the

costs, and am $18,656 increase in freight costs, partially offset by a $37,772 reduction in clay tolling costs and $22,861 reduction
in health insurance costs related to a decline in headcount. The increase in wage, material and energy costs was related primarily
to the fulfillment of an order for DRAGONITE for a manufacturer of high performance molecular sieves. During the period the Company

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Management believes that in order for the
Company to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations through May 15, 2020 that the Company may be required (i)
to raise additional capital either in the form of a private placement of common stock or debt and/or (ii) generate additional sales
of its products that will generate sufficient operating profit and cash flows to fund operations. &nbsp;Without additional capital
or additional sales of its products, the Company&rsquo;s ability to continue to operate may be limited.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Based on the Company&rsquo;s current cash
usage expectations, management believes it may not have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through May 15, 2020. Further,
management cannot provide any assurance that it is probable that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans
to raise debt or equity financing or generate additional product sales. Collectively these factors raise substantial doubt regarding
the Company&rsquo;s ability to continue as going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability
and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not
be able to continue as a going concern.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Total assets at March 31, 2019 were $3,317,988
compared to $4,136,978 at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $818,990 due primarily to decrease in cash balance resulted from operations.
Total liabilities were $43,655,379 compared to $38,255,664 at December 31, 2018. The increase of $5,399,715 in total liabilities
was due primarily to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increase the operating lease liabilities and adoption
of ASU 2017-11, which removed the derivative liabilities and related debt discount.</P>

APPLIED MINERALS, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Mining
Company)
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements
NOTE 1– ORGANIZATION
AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Applied Minerals, Inc. (the "Company"
or "Applied Minerals" or "we" or "us") (OTCQB: AMNL) owns the Dragon Mine in central Utah.
From the mine we extract, process, or have processed by a third party, halloysite clay and iron oxide for sale to a range of end
markets. We market the minerals directly and through distributors and also under a profit-sharing arrangement with the Kaolin business
unit of BASF Corp. ("BASF").
We also engage in research and
development and frequently work collaboratively with potential customers, consultants, distributors, and BASF to process and enhance
our halloysite clay products to improve the performance of existing and new products.
Our halloysite clay, which we
market under the DRAGONITE™ trade name, is an aluminosilicate mineral with a hollow tubular shape. DRAGONITE can utilize
halloysite's morphology, high surface area, and reactivity to add significant functionality to a number of applications such
as, but not limited to, reinforcement additives for polymer composites, flame retardant additives for polymers, catalysts, controlled
release carriers for paints and coatings, strength reinforcement additives for cement, concrete, mortars and grouts, advanced ceramics,
rheology additives for drilling fluids, environmental remediation media, and carriers of agricultural agents.  The Company
sells its halloysite products at negotiated prices.
Our iron oxide, which we market
under the AMIRON™ trade name, is a high purity product. We have sold it on an exclusive basis to one customer at a negotiated
price for use in an oilfield application and we are continuing to offer AMIRON to that customer on an exclusive basis.  Currently,
we are not selling AMIRON™ to customers on a continuing basis for use in any other application.
The Company is classified as
an "exploration stage" company for purposes of Industry Guide 7 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
Under Industry Guide 7, companies engaged in significant mining operations are classified into three categories, referred to as
"stages" - exploration, development, and production. Exploration stage includes all companies that do not have established
reserves in accordance with Industry Guide 7. Such companies are deemed to be "in the search for mineral deposits."
Notwithstanding the nature and extent of development-type or production-type activities that have been undertaken or completed,
a company cannot be classified as a development or production stage company unless it has established reserves in accordance with
Industry Guide 7.
In 2017, we entered into a tolling
agreement with BASF under which BASF will process the Company's halloysite product, utilizing a water-based system. The BASF
system is capable of eliminating impurities, such as iron oxide, and chemically treating the surface of halloysite to achieve desired
functionality
.
We have a mineral processing
plant with a capacity of up to 45,000 tons of mineralization per annum for certain applications.  The plant is currently dedicated
to processing its halloysite products.
Additionally, the Company has
a second processing facility with a capacity of up to 10,000 tons per annum. This smaller plant is currently dedicated to processing
the Company's halloysite.  This smaller plant processes halloysite using a dry-based, micronizing system. This dry-based
system does not eliminate impurities, such as iron oxide, as effectively as a water-based system but is useful in situations where
the removal of impurities is not necessary.
For the three months ended March
31, 2019, the largest customer during the period accounted for 80% of total revenue and amounts owed by the largest customer represented
85
% of accounts receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the largest customer during the period accounted
for 47% of total revenue and amounts owed by the largest customer represented 0% of accounts receivable.
Applied Minerals is a publicly
traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. The common stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbol AMNL.
Exploration Agreement
On December 22, 2017, the Company
and Continental Mineral Claims, Inc. ("CMC") entered into an Exploration Agreement with Option to Purchase ("Agreement").
The Company granted to CMC the exclusive right and option to enter upon and conduct mineral exploration activities (the "Exploration
License") for Metallic Minerals on the Company's Dragon Mine minesite in Utah (the "Mining Claims"). 
Metallic Minerals are defined to include minerals with a high specific gravity and metallic luster, such as gold, silver, lead,
copper, zinc, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, uranium, tin, iron, etc., but shall exclude any such Metallic Minerals that are intermingled
within any economically-recoverable, non-metallic mineral deposits located at or above an elevation of 5,590 feet above sea level.
Non-metallic minerals include clay and iron oxide, the minerals mined by the Company.  The Company believes that all economic
recoverable non-metallic mineral deposits are well above 5,590 feet above sea level. The Exploration License is for a period of
ten years.
In consideration of the Exploration License, CMC has paid the Company $350,000 and paid it $150,000 on the
first anniversary of the Effective Date of the Exploration License. CMC will pay the Company $250,000 on each subsequent anniversary
of the Effective Date of the Exploration License during the remaining term of the Exploration License unless the Exploration License
is terminated earlier by CMC by exercising the option or failing to make the required payment for the Exploration License.
CMC may exercise the option at
any time during the Exploration License term. Upon exercise of the Option and the completion of the closing, CMC shall acquire
100% of the Metallic Rights within the Mining Claims from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
7
The consideration to be paid
by CMC to the Company after exercising the option for the acquisition of the Metallic Rights shall be payable as follows: $3,000,000;
and, CMC shall grant to the Company a five percent (5%) Net Profits Interest ("NPI") royalty over the Metallic Minerals
produced from the Mining Claims.  The NPI royalty shall be initially capped at $20,000,000 (the "NPI Cap"). The
NPI Cap shall be subject to reduction in the event the Company elects to take the Share Contribution, as set forth below.
Upon exercise of the option,
the Company shall retain the all rights and title to (1) the surface interest (with exception of those rights associated with the
Metallic Rights), and (2) all non-metallic minerals (expressly including all industrial minerals including clays and iron oxides).
It is anticipated that CMC will
acquire rights similar to the Metallic Rights with respect to contiguous and nearly properties and such rights will be contributed
to a new company formed or designated by CMC to own and operate CMC's Tintic District project, which would involve the Metallic
rights and similar rights regarding adjacent or nearby properties ("PubCo") that intends to go public.
The Company shall have the right,
at its sole election, to convert a portion of its NPI royalty interest into $2,000,000 worth of shares in PubCo up to a maximum
of Two Percent (2%) net value of PubCo (the "Share Contribution"), through a reduction of the NPI Cap. The Company
shall make the determination whether to take the Share Contribution or not, and so notify CMC, within ninety (90) days, of the
completion (and delivery to the Company) of a feasibility study by CMC for the Tintic District project.  If the Company elects
not
to take the Share Contribution, the Company's NPI royalty shall remain unchanged, including the NPI Cap, which
will remain at $20,000,000.
The Agreement contains protections
in favor of the Company against unreasonable interference of its current and future mining operations by CMC. CMC may not do anything
that may, at the Company's determination, adversely impact the Company's Mining Operations.  "Mining Operations"
shall mean the activities incident to mineral extraction, permitting, and any operations by CMC or the Company relating to the
removal of minerals, respectively, that are or may reasonably be conducted on the Mining Claims, including the exploration for,
and development, active mining, removing, producing and selling of any minerals, including the Metallic Minerals.  The Agreement
states that the parties understand that the Company is willing to enter into the Agreement only if it is assured that CMC will
not have any right to unreasonably interfere with the Company's current mining operations and possible future Mining Operations
on the Mining Claims.
There are no assurances that
CMC will exercise its option to purchase 100% of the Metallic Rights.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company has a history of recurring
losses from operations and the use of cash in operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company's
net loss was $1,342,581 and cash used in operating activities was $1,013,802. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had current assets
of $2,159,525 and current liabilities of $1,313,616 of which $376,292 was accrued PIK Note interest expected to be paid in additional
PIK Notes. The Company's current liabilities also include (i) $200,000 of accrued directors fee as determined by the Company's
Board, (ii) $155,487 of a note payable related to the financing of the Company's D&O and G/L policies, (iii) $119,269
of payables to a compounder for which it has agreed to satisfy in halloysite product and (iv) $133,000 of disputed or erroneously
accrued expenses for which the Company believes it will eventually reverse.
Management believes that in order
for the Company to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations through May 15, 2020 that the Company may be required
(i) to raise additional capital either in the form of a private placement of common stock or debt and/or (ii) generate additional
sales of its products that will generate sufficient operating profit and cash flows to fund operations.  Without additional
capital or additional sales of its products, the Company's ability to continue to operate may be limited.
Based on the Company's
current cash usage expectations, management believes it may not have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through May 15,
2020. Further, management cannot provide any assurance that it is probable that the Company will be successful in accomplishing
any of its plans to raise debt or equity financing or generate additional product sales. Collectively these factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, these
interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which
are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Annual Report of Applied Minerals, Inc. on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below
and elsewhere in these notes. As of May 15, 2019, the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates remain unchanged
from those detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Receivables
Trade receivables are reported
at outstanding principal amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Management evaluates the collectability
of receivable account balances to determine the allowance, if any. Management considers the other party's credit risk and
financial condition, as well as current and projected economic and market conditions, in determining the amount of the allowance.
Receivable balances are written off when management determines that the balance is uncollectable. No allowance was required at
March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried
at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter, as follows:
Estimated
Useful Life (years)
Building and Building Improvements
5 – 40
Mining equipment
2 – 7
Office and shop furniture and equipment
3 – 7
Vehicles
5
Depreciation expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $0 and $323,144, respectively.
Impairment of Long-lived
Assets
The
Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets to determine whether current events or circumstances warrant
adjustment to such carrying amounts. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying amount. If this comparison indicates
that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is typically calculated using discounted expected future cash flows
where observable fair values are not readily determinable. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair
value of assets. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value,
less cost to sell. The Company has determined that there was no impairment of its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2019. The
Company determined there was an impairment of its long-lived assets at December 31, 2018.
9
Stock Options and Warrants
The Company follows ASC 718 (Stock
Compensation) and 505-50 (Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees), which provide guidance in accounting for share-based awards
exchanged for services rendered and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service
period. The Company instituted a formal long-term and short-term incentive plan on November 20, 2012, which was approved by its
shareholders. Prior to that date, we did not have a formal equity plan, but all equity grants, including stock options and warrants,
were approved by our Board of Directors. We determine the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted to non-employees
as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement
assumptions as of the earlier of either of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity
instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Beginning in the quarter ended
June 30, 2013 the Company began using the simplified method to determine the expected term for any options granted because the
Company did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The
Company previously utilized the contractual term as the expected term.
Effective January 1, 2019 the Company
adopted ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 to include
share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity's own operations
and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 had no material impact on the Company's financial results.
Environmental Matters
Expenditures for ongoing compliance
with environmental regulations that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures resulting
from the remediation of existing conditions caused by past operations that do not contribute to future revenue generations are
expensed. Liabilities are recognized when environmental assessments indicate that remediation efforts are probable and the costs
can be reasonably estimated.
Estimates of such liabilities
are based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations taking into consideration
the likely effects of inflation and other societal and economic factors, and include estimates of associated legal costs. These
amounts also reflect prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, other companies' clean-up experience and data released
by The Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. Such estimates are by their nature imprecise and can be expected
to be revised over time because of changes in government regulations, operations, technology and inflation. Recoveries are evaluated
separately from the liability and, when recovery is assured, the Company records and reports an asset separately from the associated
liability.
Based upon management's
current assessment of its environmental responsibilities, it does not believe that any reclamation or remediation liability exists
at March 31, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting
Standards
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term
lease). The liability is equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain
adjustments, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be
classified as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases
under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under
the prior accounting standard). Lessor accounting is similar to the prior model, but updated to align with certain changes to the
lessee model (e.g., certain definitions, such as initial direct costs, have been updated) and the new revenue recognition standard
that was adopted in 2018.
10
The Company adopted this new accounting
standard on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to
be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients
permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which includes, among other things, the ability to carry forward
the existing lease classification. The new standard had a material impact on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet,
but did not materially impact the Company's consolidated operating results and had no impact on the Company's cash
flows.
The following is a discussion
of the Company's lease policy under the new lease accounting standard:
The Company determines if an
arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an
underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising
from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of
the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable,
the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The
operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives.

As a result of applying the new
lease standard using a modified retrospective method, the following adjustments were made to accounts on the consolidated

ASU 2017-11, Part I accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features
In July 2017, the FASB issued
ASU 2017-11 to simplify the accounting for equity contracts (e.g., freestanding warrants) or equity-linked embedded features (e.g.,
conversion options in convertible instruments) with down round features. Under the new guidance, entities are no longer required
to consider down round features when determining whether these financial instruments containing a down round feature are indexed
to the issuer's own stock pursuant to ASC 815-40. Being indexed to an entity's own stock is required for a freestanding
financial instrument to be classified in shareholders' equity and may exempt an embedded feature from bifurcation and derivative
accounting.
The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on January
1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all financial instruments with down round features through
a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated
and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded
a transition adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $4,950,396. The new standard had a material impact on the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet, but did not materially impact the Company's consolidated operating results and had no impact on the Company's
cash flows.

Outstanding Stock Options
On November 20, 2012, the shareholders
of the Company approved the adoption of the Applied Minerals, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and the Short-Term
Incentive Plan ("STIP") and the performance criteria used in setting performance goals for awards intended to be performance-based.
Under the LTIP, 8,900,000 shares are authorized for issuance. The STIP does not refer to a particular number of shares under the
LTIP, but would use the shares authorized in the LTIP for issuance under the STIP. The CEO, the CFO, and named executive officers,
and directors, among others are eligible to participate in the LTIP and STIP. Prior to the adoption of the LTIP and STIP, stock
options were granted under individual arrangements between the Company and the grantees, and approved by the Board of Directors.
In May, 2016, the Company adopted
the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2016 LTIP"). The number of shares of common stock for issuance or for reference
purposes subject to the 2016 LTIP was 2,000,000.
15
On December 7, 2016, the stockholders
of the Company approved the 2016 Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2016 Incentive Plan is to enhance the profitability and value
of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders by enabling the Company to offer eligible employees, consultants, and non-employee
directors incentive awards in order to attract, retain and reward such individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interests between
such individuals and the Company's stockholders. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or
used for reference purposes under the 2016 Incentive Plan or with respect to which awards may be granted may not exceed 15,000,000
shares, which may be either (i) authorized and unissued Common Stock or (ii) Common Stock held in or acquired for the treasury
of the Company.
The Compensation Committee of
the Company Board of Directors has full authority to administer and interpret the 2016 Incentive Plan, to grant awards under the
2016 Incentive Plan, to determine the persons to whom awards will be granted, to determine the types of awards to be granted, to
determine the terms and conditions of each award, to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each award
and to make all other determinations in connection with the 2016 Incentive Plan and the awards thereunder as the Committee, in
its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.
On December 14, 2017, the Board
of Directors approved the 2017 Incentive Plan ("2017 IP"). Forty million (40,000,000) shares of Common Stock are subject
to the 2017 IP.
The fair value of each of the
Company's stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions
noted in the table below. Expected volatility is based on an average of historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The
risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option award is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon
U.S. Treasury Bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award.
The significant assumptions relating
to the valuation of the Company's options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows on a weighted average
basis:
Dividend Yield
0.0%
Expected Life (in years)
2.52 - 7.50
Expected Volatility
69.13% - 167.28%
Risk Free Interest Rate
1.42% - 3.07%

Compensation expense of $65,323
was recognized for vested options for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding options
at March 31, 2019 was $0. At March 31, 2019, (i) $35,195 of unamortized compensation expense for time-based unvested options will
be recognized over the next 2.44 years on a weighted average basis; (ii) $223,105 of unamortized compensation expense for performance-based
unvested options will be recognized as the performance targets are achieved.
On August 18, 2017, the Company's
management was granted performance-based options to purchase 27.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at $0.06 per
share. The options expire on August 18, 2027. On November 1, 2017, the first fifty percent (50%) of the performance-based options
vested as management was able to (i) close the sale of an aggregate of $600,000 of units (consisting of a share of common
stock of the Company and a warrant to buy 0.25 of a share of common stock of the Company) at $0.04 per unit and (ii) establish
toll processing arrangements with two toll processors of halloysite that, in management's good faith belief, can process
halloysite to the Company's specifications. An additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the performance-based options vested
on January 18, 2018 when management generated $900,000 of additional cash proceeds through (i) the sale of common stock and (ii)
the licensing of a right to explore the Dragon Mine property for certain precious metals. The vesting of the remaining 8.3%, 8.3%
and 8.4% of the performance-based options occurs when (i) EBITDA is positive over a twelve-month period, (ii) EBITDA is at or greater
than $2 million over a twelve-month period and (iii) EBITDA is at or greater than $4 million over a twelve-month period, respectively.
At March 31, 2019, management, based on its financial expectations for 2019, did not consider the vesting of the remaining 25%
of the option grant to be probable.

NOTE 9 - PER SHARE DATA
The computation of basic earnings (loss)
per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted
earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock
equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding under the treasury method and the average
market price per share during the year as well as the conversion of notes. At March 31, 2019, the weighted average shares outstanding
excluded options to purchase 55,526,568 shares of common stock of the Company, warrants to purchase 26,688,373 shares of common
stock of the Company and 98,265,956, shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion of notes because their
effect would be anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2018, the weighted average shares outstanding excluded options to purchase 59,825,123
shares of common stock of the Company, warrants to purchase 18,313,373 shares of common stock of the Company and 95,382,396 shares
of common stock of the Company issuable upon the conversion of notes payable because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On April 25, 2019 the Company granted to its directors options to purchase a total of 4,000,000 shares of
common stock at $0.04 per share. The options vested upon grant expire ten years (10) after the date of grant.

ITEM 2     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections
about our business and our industry. Words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend,"
"plan," "will," "may," and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition,
any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Applied Minerals, Inc. is focused primarily
on (i) the development, marketing and sale of our halloysite clay-based DRAGONITE™ line of products for use in advanced
applications such as, but not limited to, reinforcement additives for polymer composites, flame retardant additives for polymers,
catalysts, controlled release carriers for paints and coatings, strength reinforcement additives for cement, concrete, mortars
and grouts, advanced ceramics, rheology additives for drilling fluids, environmental remediation media, and carriers of agricultural
agents and (ii) the development, marketing and sale of our AMIRON™ line of iron oxide products for pigmentary and technical
applications. Halloysite is an aluminosilicate with a tubular structure that provides functionality for a number of applications.
Iron oxides are inorganic compounds that are widely used as pigments in paints, coatings and colored concrete.
The Company owns the Dragon Mine, which
has significant deposits of high-quality halloysite clay and iron oxide. The 267-acre property is located in southwestern Utah
and its resource was mined for halloysite on a large-scale, commercial basis between 1949 and 1976 for use as a petroleum cracking
catalyst. The mine was idle until 2001 when the Company leased it to initially develop its halloysite resource for advanced, high-value
applications. We purchased 100% of the property in 2005. After further geological characterization of the mine, the Company identified
a high-purity, natural iron oxide resource that it has commercialized to supply certain pigmentary and technical markets.
The Company has a mineral processing plant
with a capacity of up to 45,000 tons per annum for certain applications that is currently dedicated to the processing of its AMIRON
product. The Company has a smaller processing facility with a capacity of 5,000 – 10,000 tons per annum that is currently
dedicated to its halloysite resource. The Company believes it can increase its halloysite production capacity to meet an increase
in demand through (i) an expansion of our on-site production capacity through a relatively modest capital investment and (ii) the
use of a manufacturing tolling agreement.
The Company currently sells its DRAGONITE
product as functional additive for advanced molecular sieves, as a nucleating agent for injection molding applications and as a
binder for ceramic applications. For a number of markets mentioned above, the Company is currently working with a number of customers,
which are in the latter stages of commercializing new and existing products that will utilize DRAGONITE as a functional additive.
Applied Minerals is a publicly traded company incorporated in
the state of Delaware. The common stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbol AMNL.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting
policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes in
our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 compared to the disclosures on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the
Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability is equal
to the present value of lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for
initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as either
operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior
accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior
accounting standard). Lessor accounting is similar to the prior model, but updated to align with certain changes to the
lessee model (e.g., certain definitions, such as initial direct costs, have been updated) and the new revenue recognition
standard that was adopted in 2018. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Standards section of Note 3 ''Significant
Accounting Policies'' to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of the
adoption of this new lease standard.

Revenue for the three months ended March
31, 2019 totaled $120,527, an increase of $74,880 or 164%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was driven primarily
by the sale of DRAGONITE totaling $96,000 to a manufacturer of high performance molecular sieves, partially offset by the absence
of a sale of DRAGONITE totaling $11,022 to a manufacturer of refining catalysts, the absence of the sale of DRAGONITE totaling
$6,021 to a distributor of products used for R&D work, and a $3,600, or 47%, decline in the sale of DRAGONITE to a manufacturer
of ceramic clay bodies. No sales of AMIRON occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Total operating expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $1,072,042, a decrease of $677,695, or 39%, compared to the same period in 2018. The decline
was driven primarily by a $386,476, or 32%, decline in general and administrative costs and a $323,144, or 100%, decline in depreciation
expense. The decline in depreciation expense resulted from an impairment of long-lived assets in the fourth calendar quarter of
2018.
Production costs include those operating
expenses which management believes are directly related to the mining and processing of the Company's iron oxide and halloysite
minerals, which result in the production of its AMIRON and DRAGONITE products for commercial sale. Production costs include, but
are not limited to, wages and benefits of employees who mine material and who work in the Company's milling operations, energy
costs associated with the operation of the Company's two mills, the cost of mining and milling supplies and the cost of the
maintenance and repair of the Company's mining and milling equipment. Wages and energy are the two largest components of
the Company's production costs.
Production costs incurred during the three
months ended March 31, 2019 were $225,705, an increase of $54,109, or 32%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in
production costs was driven primarily by a $72,671 increase in wages, a $25,963 increase in materials, energy and equipment related
costs, and am $18,656 increase in freight costs, partially offset by a $37,772 reduction in clay tolling costs and $22,861 reduction
in health insurance costs related to a decline in headcount. The increase in wage, material and energy costs was related primarily
to the fulfillment of an order for DRAGONITE for a manufacturer of high performance molecular sieves. During the period the Company
recognized one-third of the revenue associated with the order but also incurred a significant portion of the total costs associated
with the order during the period
Exploration costs include operating expenses
incurred at the Dragon Mine that are not directly related to production activities. Exploration costs incurred during the three
months ended March 31, 2019 were $33,767, a $22,184, or 40%, decline compared to the same period in 2018. The decline was due to
a general reduction in non-production-related expenses at the Dragon Mine.
General and administrative expenses incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $812,570, a decline of $386,476, or 32%, when compared to the same period
in 2018. The decrease was driven primarily by a $372,828 decline in equity-based compensation to employees and consultants, a $44,848
decline in director expense due to reduction in equity-based compensation, and a $38,174 decline in professional services expense,
partially offset by a $45,395 increase in insurance expense and a $26,007 increase in wages.
20
Operating loss incurred during the
three months ended March 31, 2019 was $951,515, a $752,575, or 44%, decrease when compared to the same period in 2018. The
decline was driven by a $386,476 decline in  general and administrative expense, a $323,144 decrease in depreciation expense
and a $74,880 increase in revenue when compared to the same period in 2018.
Net Loss for the three-month period ending
March 31, 2019 was $1,342,581, a decline of $10,733,401, or 89%, when compared to the same period in 2018. The decline was driven
by an $8,179,927 decline in the loss on the revaluation of the PIK Note derivative liability and a $2,149,571 decline in interest
expense. The decline in the loss on the revaluation of the PIK note derivative liability was due to the elimination of the Company's
requirement to value the liability. The decline in interest expense was due primarily to a reduction in the interest rate resulting
from a revision of the terms of the PIK Notes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has a history of recurring
losses from operations and the use of cash in operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company's
net loss was $1,342,581 and cash used in operating activities was $1,013,802. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had current assets
of $2,159,525 and current liabilities of $1,313,616 of which $376,292 was accrued PIK Note interest expected to be paid in additional
PIK Notes. The Company's current liabilities also include (i) $200,000 of accrued directors fee as determined by the Company's
Board, (ii) $155,487 of a note payable related to the financing of the Company's D&O and G/L policies, (iii) $119,269
of payables to a compounder for which the Company has agreed to satisfy in halloysite product and (iv) $133,000 of disputed or
erroneously accrued expenses for which the Company believes it will eventually reverse.
Management believes that in order for the
Company to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations through May 15, 2020 that the Company may be required (i)
to raise additional capital either in the form of a private placement of common stock or debt and/or (ii) generate additional sales
of its products that will generate sufficient operating profit and cash flows to fund operations.  Without additional capital
or additional sales of its products, the Company's ability to continue to operate may be limited.
Based on the Company's current cash
usage expectations, management believes it may not have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through May 15, 2020. Further,
management cannot provide any assurance that it is probable that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans
to raise debt or equity financing or generate additional product sales. Collectively these factors raise substantial doubt regarding
the Company's ability to continue as going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability
and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not
be able to continue as a going concern.
Cash used in operating activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1,013,802 compared to $296,603 during the same period in 2018, an increase of $717,199
or 241.8%. Cash used in operating activities during 2019 before adjusting for changes in operating assets and liabilities was $885,906,
$231,416 more than the comparable period in 2018.
Cash provided by investing activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0 compared to $0 during the same period in 2018.
Cash used in financing activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $91,009 compared to $321,118 provided during the same period in 2018. The $412,127 decrease
in cash provided during the period was due primarily to no proceeds from sale of common stock and exercise of options or warrants.
Total assets at March 31, 2019 were $3,317,988
compared to $4,136,978 at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $818,990 due primarily to decrease in cash balance resulted from operations.
Total liabilities were $43,655,379 compared to $38,255,664 at December 31, 2018. The increase of $5,399,715 in total liabilities
was due primarily to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increase the operating lease liabilities and adoption
of ASU 2017-11, which removed the derivative liabilities and related debt discount.
ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT
For information with respect to issuance
of convertible debt, see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements
between the Company and any other entity that have, or are reasonable likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital
resources that is material to investors.
ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have no exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates, foreign currencies, or other factors.
21
ITEM 4.     CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered
by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were, as of the end of the fiscal
quarter covered by this quarterly report, ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the existence of these
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the management believes that the consolidated financial statements
included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented.
