GTSO JV Advances Strategic Plan For Rare Earth Exports From Mongolia

Green Technology Solutions (OTCBB:GTSO) President and CEO John Shearer disclosed today that he sent a letter to the Mongolian Ambassador to the U.S. seeking assistance in implementing export logistics for rare earth ore inside Mongolia. GTSO and Rare Earth Exporters of Mongolia (REE) formed a joint venture in February to expand rare earth production and exports from the developing Asian nation.

The letter, addressed to Ambassador Bekhbat Khasbazar, requests the Embassy’s assistance in guiding the joint venture through the proper channels and authorities in transporting its mining ore within the country. GTSO is in communication with Russian Railways for the purpose of coordinating rail transport of their mining ore from Ulan Bator, Mongolia to the Russian seaport of Vladivostok. The company’s strategic exporting plan purposefully avoids moving any mining ore through China.

Last week, Shearer traveled to the Embassy of Mongolia in Washington, D.C., to meet with Ariunaa Adiya, the Embassy’s First Secretary, Trade and Economic Affairs. Shearer said that Adiya was “very pleased” that GTSO’s joint venture, a private enterprise, was enthusiastic about investing and doing business in Mongolia.

Rare earth elements are critical to the manufacture of products such as batteries, solar cells and advanced electric motors in addition to strategic defense and weapons systems. Today, more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements is produced in China. The vast majority of China’s rare earths are mined in the country’s Inner Mongolia region, which lies along the southern border of the nation of Mongolia. Many experts believe that Mongolia, a former Soviet state, contains rare earth deposits that rival those of China.

By developing a new source of rare earths outside of China, GTSO aims to counter the rising security threat posed by China’s near-monopoly over materials critical to the U.S.’s energy and defense industries.
