E-Waste Systems’ CEO, Martin Nielson, Provides Industry Commentary in Clean Energy Pipeline in Advance of Earth Day

Apr 11, 2012 4:00:00 AM

LONDON, and COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — E-Waste Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: EWSI), a corporation created to acquire and integrate elements of the electronic waste industry through acquisitions, implementation of business development initiatives and promotion of Fair Trade E-waste solutions, announced today that Martin Nielson’s (CEO) commentary was featured in Clean Energy Pipeline during the last quarter. EWSI’s platform is designed around strategic acquisitions and partnerships with like-minded organizations committed to best practice protocols. The company is dedicated to providing compliant, cost-effective and environmentally-responsible services geared toward e-waste reverse logistics and recycling.

Martin Nielson, CEO of E-Waste Systems, states, “There was once a time where consumer-focused technologies maintained relevancy measured in decades. Today, our phones, computers, TV’s often become outdated in a span of months; not even years. We live in an ‘of the moment’ age where the masses simply replace instead of repair, and as a result, overlook the importance of proper recycling.”

Nielson adds, “The problem with this non-stop drive to bring better, faster, sleeker technology to market is that the average person cannot comprehend what hundreds of millions of tons of phones, computers and other forms of e-waste are doing to the environment or its true value. A used cell phone, for instance, on eBay may be nearly worthless, but the sum of its parts possesses great value. For example, one ton of old cell phones can contain as much precious metals as 17 tons of gold ore. E-Waste Systems was created in part to mine these resources; the metals, plastics and glass components of today’s technology, so that they can be effectively reused.”

The main reasons why the e-waste industry is so fragmented is due to its relatively young age and the fact that operations are typically localized instead of being integrated in a single end of life services company. Therefore, investment and professional business communities often fail to take notice. It is EWSI’s intention to unify key elements of this emerging industry, to expand globally, and to help encourage the public at large to comprehend its size, scope and scale.

About E-Waste Systems, Inc.:

Headquartered in London, where e-waste regulations are the most stringent in the world, EWSI aims to be a leading provider of e-waste related services in key jurisdictions globally. Blumberg Associates estimates the e-waste sector at a $55B industry annually, as legislation increasingly mandates that e-waste can no longer be landfilled. OEM’s, retailers and users are increasingly responsible for end-of-life management of e-waste, while Corporate Social Responsibility demands highly compliant, professional solution providers. The collection and recovery industry is also highly fragmented and EWSI considers these elements as an attractive environment for its buy, build and upgrade strategy.

GREENVILLE, S.C., Jan. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SCIO Diamond Technology Corporation (OTCBB:SCIO.OB) today recapped the company’s presentation at the 14th Annual ICR XChange investor conference in Miami this week. The recap is for the benefit of shareholders and interested parties unable to attend the event, and is intended to conform to Regulation FD disclosure requirements. The ICR XChange is one of the leading consumer-oriented investment conferences, with over 150 companies presenting to over 1,500 institutional investors and analysts. SCIO Diamond Chief Executive Officer Joseph Lancia presented on the afternoon of Thursday, January 12. A webcast replay of the presentation is available in the Investor Relations section of SCIO’s website: http://www.sciodiamond.com

A key new element of Lancia’s presentation was the recent refinement of the company’s distribution strategy, which is resulting in a significant level of interest among potential distributors and customers. Within the gemstone market, SCIO’s positioning as a supplier of both affordable and sustainable real diamonds is resonating with wholesalers and retailers. In emerging markets where consumers are interested in real diamonds but have less disposable income, the company is actively negotiating with large distributors that can bring SCIO diamonds to retailers in China and India. In more developed markets, interest is growing in sustainable diamonds that avoid the “conflict diamond” issue as well as the environmental degradation associated with natural diamond mining. The company is actively negotiating supply agreements with retailers interested in creating lines of “green” jewelry to fulfill this growing demand in the U.S.

The company is also seeing growing interest for multiple industrial applications for diamonds leading to a number of distribution negotiations with potential industrial partners. For instance, SCIO is pursuing partnerships with companies that produce diamond laser scalpels and diamond semiconductor substrates. While gemstones are an immediate opportunity for SCIO, the company expects multiple industrial applications to drive longer-term growth.

Mr. Lancia’s presentation also covered a brief corporate history, noting that the predecessor company, Apollo Diamond, invested over $40 million over two decades to develop SCIO’s diamond growing technology. He noted that SCIO produces real diamonds—they are not “artificial” or “simulants”—using an advanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process that is superior to the most prevalent alternative method, High Temperature High Pressure (HTHP). CVD enables much finer control over key properties of the diamonds, including color. SCIO’s technology is protected by 14 patents, including its first Canadian patent that was announced recently. The company plans to raise $10 million this winter to fund the purchase of an additional ten reactors and infrastructure to fill out the production facility in Greenville, SC. The reactors will be larger six-inch models, substantially enhancing the company’s revenue potential at full production.

“We appreciate the opportunity offered by ICR to tell our story to a large audience of institutional investors,” said Lancia. “As demand grows for our products and we move into volume production later this year, we intend to keep investors fully informed through conference appearances, press releases, and investor conference calls.”

About SCIO Diamond

SCIO Diamond employs a patent-protected chemical deposition process to produce high-quality, single-crystal diamonds in a controlled laboratory setting, with such diamonds referred to as “lab-grown” or cultivated diamonds. The diamonds have identical chemical, physical and optical properties of any diamond found in the earth, and the company’s highly controlled manufacturing process enables it to produce very high-quality, high-purity, high volume, single-crystal colorless, near colorless and fancy colored diamonds.

SCIO’s technology permits it to produce lab-grown diamonds in size, color, and quality combinations that are rare, if at all present in nature. Diamonds are now being offered in limited quantities as jewelry and in the technology arena as the material operating system of the future.

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Jan. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hondo Minerals Corporation (OTCBB:HMNC.OB) today announced assay results from recently poured doré bars. Accordingly, these early test results indicate gold content was at or above the company’s previously projected range for commercial production of 1 ounce of gold per ton of tailings processed.

Bill Miertschin, Chairman and CEO said, “We are pleased and encouraged by the early results indicating our estimated gold content. We are encouraged that there are commercial quantities of precious metals in the tailings pile, and that the company has the ability to efficiently extract them.”

In recent weeks, the company has completed the commercial processing facility, proven the efficiency of the proprietary eLeach process, and found gold in the range of previous estimates. The company will continue to test these first doré bars for additional precious metals, in order to both better characterize the tailings pile, and to fine-tune its extraction process.

Bill went on to say, “I want to say thank you to all of the employees of Hondo Minerals for their hard work and dedication to make this possible for our company and its shareholders.”

This first sample testing was aimed specifically for gold content, and is the culmination of several milestones already reached in the first quarter of 2012.

Initial testing for the sample materials was completed with industry leading instrumentation including the Thermo Scientific iCAP 6300 ICP mass spectrometer and the Oxford Instruments X-8000 XRF Laboratory analyzer.

The ICP or Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer is well established, multi-element analyzer that is currently trained to read 71 elements as low as parts per billion.

The XRF or X-ray Fluorescence works by exposing samples to a beam of X-rays. The atoms of the sample absorb the energy and become temporarily excited. In turn the excited sample emits secondary X-rays with each element emitting unique energy. The tool measures the intensity of the emitted X-rays and provides reliable qualitative and quantitative results.

GROVELAND, Fla. , Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI.OB – News) announced today that it has entered into a Mineral Exploitation Agreement with DRR Partners, LLC to process 1,100 tons of highly concentrated ore. This complex black ore being delivered by DRR is currently being tested and evaluated for its precious metal content. Per the agreement, EVGI will pay DRR a percentage of gross sales on a sliding scale ranging from 10% if the precious metal content is less than $75,000 per ton, up to 40% if the precious metal content is greater than $250,000 per ton. EVGI has no obligation to continue in the agreement if the precious metal content is less than $50,000 per ton.

EVGI will initially be using a smaller system located in Groveland Florida , which has been designed to extract rare earth elements from complex ores. Traditional leaching methods have been unsuccessful in yielding significant amounts of precious metals from complex ore bodies. EVGI will be maximizing this opportunity as pilot program to crack these complex ores. EVGI is working with its joint venture partner, Raptor Technology Group, to determine the optimal design and method to process the ore supply. EVGI believes this may represent a tremendous opportunity for the company in developing an affordable, cost effective system that can process complex ores in a commercial setting. The company hopes to develop a system that can process as much as 2 to 3 tons daily of these complex ores representing significant value.

“We are very excited to be working with DRR and exploiting their complex ore bodies with our proprietary technology and advanced extraction methods,” said Randall Lanham , CEO of EVGI.

GROVELAND, Fla., Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) today provided a progress report on its precious metals recovery operations and biofuel plant. Since beginning commercial operations of its 5,000 tons of concentrated ore per year proprietary precious metals recovery plant, the Company has processed unconcentrated ore from its mining partner and has stored the saleable pregnant solution, or the solution containing the dissolved precious metals in its holding tanks.

There have been several engineering modifications made to the plant to increase its extraction efficiency and reduce chemical costs and processing times. The Company has made significant investments in equipment to accommodate the processing of various types of ore bodies. Training and development of employees is also an ongoing process.

Over the past few days, EVGI has processed 10,000 gallons of pregnant solution through its ion exchange system and is preparing it for shipment and sale.

EVGI has given its funding partner a non-exclusive extension to complete their previously agreed upon stock purchase agreement. Additionally, EVGI is working on several other funding opportunities to execute on its business plan.

Since EVGI’s last biodiesel update, the Company has been successfully working to meet capital requirements to complete the 3.6 million gallon per year plant and has made significant progress on expanding its available database of feedstock suppliers.

Randall Lanham, CEO of Eco Ventures Group commented, “We are very pleased at the progress our team has made at EVGI as we move toward full production. Our precious metals extraction process has exceeded our expectations and we will continue to make improvements to increase its output. We also look forward to producing our first batch of biodiesel in the near future to meet increased advanced biofuel demands in the market.”

NavStar Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NVSR), a multinational firm focused on developing and commercializing asset tracking and monitoring devices for vehicles and high value cargo, today released the following shareholder letter.

Dear Shareholders,
As you know we recently announced that NavStar has secured $2.4M in funding from an investment group in Southern California.

The funds from this investment will be primarily used to complete the final development and manufacturing of our GPS tracking and monitoring products and services. The experience we have gained over the past 12 months from field trials and customer input will allow us to build “state of the art” products and services. We expect to be selling GPS tracking and monitoring products and services by the second quarter of 2012.

Since the funding was announced we had added three additional engineers at our location in Anaheim and have formed a strategic relationship with engineering design firms in Korea and China to accelerate our product development timeline.

Marketing data, customer input and technology improvements have driven us to focus our product and sales efforts on the following market segments:

PowerSports Products (Motorcycles/Scooters/ATV)
Vehicles/Trucks
People
Machine to machine (M2M)

We will continue to monitor the Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) mandate by the Department of Transportation that requires United States Truckers to electronically record their hours of service (HOS). Our current product portfolio will support this market segment as it unfolds in 2012 and 2013.

NavStar has 15-20 customers around the world that have purchased over 20,000 units in the past and we expect to see significant revenue contributions from them in the future as we launch our new products.

We also have several significant international opportunities available in South America, Mexico and Canada. We will leverage the US product development efforts (now through 2Q12) and be positioned to sell internationally by 3rd Quarter 2012.

In any business, the ability to distribute products and make customers aware of the “value proposition” is the major factor for any company to succeed. Look for NavStar to announce some major distribution agreements in the next several months that are non-existent in the GPS tracking/monitoring industry today.

We appreciate your support over the past several years and we are looking forward to a great 2012.

Sincerely,

N. Douglas Pritt
Chairman & CEO
NavStar Technologies, Inc.

Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) announced today that it has signed a Mineral Exploitation Agreement with Broken Hills, LLC to recover the precious metals from certain mine claims in Nevada. The ore containing the precious metals will be concentrated on location using EVGI’s proprietary technology and then shipped to EVGI’s precious metal extraction facility in Groveland, Florida. Based on land surveys, exploratory drilling and independent assays, the ore from the claims contain significant quantities of Gold, Platinum and Palladium.

The mine claims span approximately 800 acres in the northwestern region of Nevada with access to approximately 25,000,000 tons of ore.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Broken Hills will operate the mine site and provide EVGI with concentrated ore for processing in its 5,000 ton per year extraction facility in Florida. The parties will split the profits of precious metals extracted from the ore 60/40 (EVGI/Broken Hills). In the second phase of the Agreement, Eco Ventures Group will operate the mine site and process the ore for a 90% share up to 20,000 tons, and 95% share of the precious metals recovered after 20,000 tons is processed.

“Our Agreement with Broken Hills guarantees us an ore supply that will keep our 5,000 ton per year plant operating at full capacity for years to come. This ore gives us the ability and incentive to greatly expand our processing capabilities without being reliant on future ore contracts. We could increase our current processing capabilities by 10 and still have enough ore to keep the facility busy for many, many years. The preliminary results from the field are very encouraging with high levels of target precious metals,” said Randall Lanham, CEO of Eco Ventures Group.
