SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Technology Solutions (OTCBB: GTSO) mining subsidiary GTSO Resources eagerly awaits a comprehensive briefing on new opportunities in Africa from Kirk W. Bastian, the company’s mining operations consultant and CEO of its joint venture partner, Diamond V Associates (DVA).
For the past month, Bastian has been in the West African nation of Ghana, evaluating prospects for potential acquisition and collecting core samples for testing. Bastian maintains extensive business contacts in Ghana, where DVA is currently exploring mining operations.
Tungsten mining in Ghana and other mineral-rich developing nations is one of several promising mineral development opportunities that GTSO is pursuing around the globe.
“We’re pleased that Kirk has returned to the U.S., and we’re very keen to see any samples or reports that have identified our target mineral for traditional mining in Ghana: tungsten,” said GTSO CEO Paul Watson. “We expect that he will also report on the potential excavation of lithium, gold, rare earths and other highly sought minerals of interest to our joint venture.”
The exploration of traditional mining operations in Africa is only one of GTSO’s ongoing mining projects. The company is also working to increase its footprint in the booming urban mining industry and has already engaged in initial talks with potential acquisition and joint venture targets in North and South America.
GTSO plans to service a fast-growing global appetite for rare and precious metals to compete in an exciting sector that includes FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC), North American Tungsten Corp. Ltd. (TSXV: NTC.V), Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM), and Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO).
