GTSO Ships Mongolian Rare Earth Core Samples to South Korea

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sep 12, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Green Technology Solutions Inc. (otcqb:GTSO) announced today that 46 Mongolian rare earth core samples sent to South Korea for mineral analysis have been received by Korea Resources Corp. (KORES).

The core samples were recovered last month from the Avdrant mining site in Mongolia's Tuv province by a team led by Senior Ph.D. Geologist T.S. Bilgee of the Mongolian University Geological Sciences Department. The KORES laboratory will analyze the samples' mineral content to confirm the presence of economically recoverable rare earths.

"We're tremendously excited to send our first batch of rare earth core samples to South Korea," said GTSO CEO John Shearer. "Now that KORES has received the samples, we're confident that a positive analysis confirming the value of this project will be forthcoming. With the quality of our ore confirmed, we'll move forward with mining operations on the property."

Rare earth minerals are critical to the manufacture of technologies including computers, smartphones, magnets, batteries, wind turbines and solar panels. GTSO has agreements in place for the evaluation and development of mineral assets on more than 17,000 acres in Mongolia that the company believes hold the potential for significant commercial production of rare earth minerals.

"The increasing number of applications for rare earths combined with tightening Chinese export policies continues to drive up the value of the minerals," Shearer said. "We have received many inquiries into the availability of Mongolian rare earth ore, and preparations are underway to begin production at the first of our mining sites there."
