GTSO - GTSO Continues Mongolian Export Preparations as Rare Earth Prices Double 06/20 08:00 AM
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$1.0800,$0.1600,17.39%) continues preparations to send core samples from three Mongolian rare earth mining sites to South Korea for analysis as prices on heavy rare metals more than double due to China’s tightening control of rare earth mining, production and exports.
U.K.-based trade publication Industrial Metals reported last week that rare earth minerals dysprosium oxide and europium oxide, used in high-tech applications from nuclear reactors to smartphones, rose by more than 100 percent since the beginning of the month. The incredible surge in rare earth prices is credited by many analysts to China’s efforts to tighten exports. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that China is building a strategic reserve of the rare elements, a plan that may give the Asian superpower increased influence over global rare earth prices and supplies in a sector it already dominates.
The move to build reserves comes even as China’s rare earth exports are shrinking in the face of rising demand. Currently, China controls more than 95 percent of the world’s supplies of rare earth, which include some of the most sought-after materials in modern manufacturing. The heavy elements are critical to the production of green technology solutions such as wind turbines, hybrid-car batteries and solar panels as well as military applications such as night-vision goggles and laser-guided weapons.
GTSO and other mining developers around the world have responded to reductions in Chinese export quotas by working to begin rare earth production elsewhere. Earlier this month, GTSO announced that it signed a Profit Participation Agreement (PPA) with Mongolian mining and trading company Ar Erkhes, LLC, to facilitate the mining of rare earths at three sites in the developing Asian nation. The company is currently making preparations to send core samples from each mining site to South Korea’s state-run resources development company KORES for analysis to assure potential buyers of the quality and density of the rare elements found within.
Once the analysis is complete, GTSO will move forward with plans to capitalize on the international explosion in rare earth prices by shipping Mongolian rare earths via rail to the international seaport of Vladivostok, Russia, for shipment to South Korea. For more information on GTSO’s export plans, please visit http://www.rareearthexporters.com.
GTSO is also in negotiations to develop rare earth resources in the Republic of Congo, Kenya, Botswana and other nations in southern Africa. Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$1.0800,$0.1600,17.39%) commercializes clean and renewable mining technology and products.

GTSO - I sent e-mails to the company yesterday requesting status update on the "live" feeds they PR'd about recently. Will keep you guy as up to date as possible when/if I get a response!
FBCD - First - I missed the CC due to circumstances beyond my control - second with the most recent NT 10-Q (Notification of Late Filing) for period ending 2011-04-30 - it states in:
Part IV - Other Information - section 3 - Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earning statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? The [NO] Box is marked.
I am not stupid, I just don't understand why that box would be marked NO if we are expecting updated financials reflecting material changes to the company. (IE - Merger/new licensing info/etc.)
Can you guys help me out??? Ya'll are better at this kind of stuff than I am.
FBCD - Now, boys, play nice!!! Although impatient myself, I have done quite a bit of DD on the PEOPLE involved in this company. They do actually have documented backgrounds and histories. Although, patient is NOT MY VIRTUE...I have no choice but to (trust) and wait and see!!!! HI, again, MT, my doll!
FBCD - MT - Honey, as for DD I HAVE done mine...just tryin' get a reaction....wow...what a reaction THAT was. I own shares...a few I'll say, maybe even many!!!...I hope like most that this b*tch takes off....patience is a virtue....apparently I have no virtue's....:)
FBCD - Do you guys think this is real or is this a pump????
Hey my GTSO peep's...anyone have ANY idea why it's up today????
I'll admit...I had to sell my REE...needed the $$$ and it was takin' too long....BUT, If GTSO can follow through with what they say...I think we'll go gold....(PUN INTENDED)
FBCD - Good volume...hopefully good news, SOON!!!!
I have mine through Fidelity as well. Not NEAR the amount that you do, however, a loss is a loss is a loss. I really feel that this could have real potential...however...in pennyland...I guess we'll have to wait and see...I wish all of us and GTSO the best of luck!
I ran the symbol past through the "pump" newsletters that I subscribe to and nothing showed up; therefore, I am excited, yet confused by the whopping >23% up change!
THAT IS MY DD AND I AM REPORTING MY RESULTS. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR OWN DD...AS WHAT I POST HERE IS JUST MY OPINION.
How's THAT for a disclaimer?!?!!?!?
Very happy, as well. Something makes me think that good things are happening...HOWEVER, I will attempt to check the normal "pump & dump" websites and newsletters to try to make sure this is not a "pump"....
Can't promise anything, however I will keep you guys posted if I find anything!!!
GTSO, still trying to find out why volume is up and $$$ is, too. +20%....I can only hope that insiders are buying on forthcoming good news..... My own opinion that something smells good....you are responsible for your own dd....
Jim...the stock has been dead for months....STUCK!!!! Except, now, it has pummeled even further into the depths of sub-penny land...are your (if it's even possible) shorting this stock or just in the hole. I'll be honest, I'm in the hole. Why don't you tell me what will make this stock go up...even if just $.0001 - preferably $.0003?????
GTSO - OK, guys, I'm no stock analyst, however, it seems we have FANTASTIC volume within the first, what, 15 minutes of trading. Additionally, it's up >14%. MAYBE that means GOOD NEWS IS COMING!!!!!
And then again, I could always be wrong. Cross your fingers!!!
GTSO - I agree and I'm trying to see if I can find out why the stock is not "jumping" with all the news and everything. I am trying to find out when they will be getting the "live action" website up and running...and I'll keep you guys posted.
GTSO - GTSO Selects Korea Resources Corp. to Analyze Mongolian Rare Earths Ore
Company Expects Positive Analysis to Drive Demand from South Korean Rare Earth Buyers 06/15 08:00 AM
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$0.7800,$0.0200,2.63%) announced today that it has engaged Korea Resources Corp. (KORES) to perform mineral analysis on core samples from three mining sites in Mongolia to confirm the presence of potentially lucrative rare earths.
KORES is a South Korean state-run resources development company that works with domestic manufacturers to secure foreign resources assets. GTSO is working to mine and export Mongolian rare earths to South Korea and plans to have KORES analyze ore samples to assure potential buyers of the quality and density of the rare elements found within.
“KORES has earned tremendous credibility with mineral buyers in South Korea,” said GTSO President and CEO John Shearer. “We anticipate that their seal of approval will have buyers lining up to purchase the rare earth ore we’ll be exporting from Mongolia.”
GTSO announced last week that it signed a new Profit Participation Agreement with the mining and trading company Ar Erkhes, LLC, to facilitate the mining of rare earths at three properties in Mongolia. The company’s business agent in Mongolia will engage a geologist to collect more than 20 core samples from each of the mining sites for transport to KORES’ mineral analysis laboratory.
In addition to green technology applications such as wind turbine generators, electric car motors and photovoltaic solar panels, rare earths are critical to the construction of smartphones, automobiles and other consumer electronics manufactured in South Korea. According to a report earlier this year by the South Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy, South Korean companies earmarked $7 billion for overseas resources development projects in 2011, a 222-percent increase over last year. According to the report, the massive increase in development funding is intended to help better insulate South Korea from international price hikes.
GTSO is working to develop new sources of rare earth elements in Mongolia, the Republic of Congo and elsewhere to help reduce the risk of supply shortages to the U.S. and allies such as South Korea and Japan. In recent months, China, the world’s dominant rare earths producer, has announced a series of new measures aimed at scaling back production to ease environmental concerns and tighten its grip over the global rare minerals market
GTSO...Good pickup in volume today....didn't beat 10 day...but was almost double the 90 day.
Hopefully, there is good news commin' down the pipeline....
I've called and left a message for John Shearer in hopes that he can give a heads up as to WTH is going on with stock, especially with all the fantastic PR???? I will post if I hear back....until then, we shall see....
FBCD - I am SO ADHD....can someone please repost the time of the cc today???? It is today, right?

GTSO NEWS: 06/13/2011 GTSO Vets S. Korean Mineral Labs for Mongolian Rare Earth Ore Analysis Company Expects Positive Assay to Help Entice S. Korean Rare Earth Buyers
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$0.6700,$0.0000,0.00%) disclosed today that the company is in the process of selecting a South Korean mineral laboratory to conduct an assay of ore samples from the first of three Mongolian rare earth mines that GTSO is working to develop.
Last week, GTSO announced a new Profit Participation Agreement with Mongolian mining and trading company ArErkhes, LLC, to facilitate the mining of rare earths at three sites in the developing Asian nation. GTSO plans to select a South Korean lab this week to confirm the presence of rare earths in ore collected from the first of these three mining properties, ArErkhes’ Avdrant Mine in Mongolia’s Tuv province.
“Although our initial mineral reports on all three Mongolian mining sites have confirmed the presence of rare earths, we’d like an established and respected South Korean laboratory to reconfirm the variety and density of critical metals in the ore,” said GTSO President and CEO John Shearer. “We plan to begin exporting rare earths from Mongolia to South Korea as soon as possible, and our company believes that South Korean analysis of the ore will help reassure potential buyers there that they will be getting exactly what they wanted.”
GTSO’s South Korean business consultant will handle the search for a suitable lab, Shearer said. The company engaged the consultant in April to assist in coordinating shipments of Mongolian rare earth ores to South Korea from the international seaport of Vladivostok, Russia.

Signs PPA to Excavate Rare Earths from 3 New Mongolian Mines Company to Realize a Percentage of Net Profits Generated by Rare Earths Production
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$0.6700,$0.0000,0.00%) announced today that it signed a Profit Participation Agreement (PPA) with Mongolian mining and trading company Ar Erkhes, LLC, to facilitate the mining of rare earths at three sites in the developing Asian nation.
According to the terms of the PPA, GTSO will make monthly payments to Ar Erkhes for the next six months in exchange for a percentage of the net profits generated by rare earths production at the mines. GTSO will facilitate the excavation of core samples and arrange for the identification of any and all rare earths present at each site.
The three mining properties covered in the PPA are located in three different Mongolian provinces. The first site, referred to in the PPA as the Avdrant Mine, is located in the Bayandelger Soum of Mongolia’s Tuv province, 80 km south of the country’s capital city of Ulan Bator. The second site, the Agiut Mine, can be found in the Dashinchilen Soum of the Bulgan Province, 260 km south of the capital. The third and final property, known as the Modot Uul Mine, is located in the Airag Soum of Mongolia’s Dornogobi province, 382 km from Ulan Bator.
“Next week, we plan to begin the process of selecting a reputable mineral lab to analyze core samples from each of the three mining properties,” said GTSO President and CEO John Shearer. “We’re very eager to begin full-scale rare earths production in Mongolia as soon as possible, but the mines’ mineral contents must be confirmed and specified by an outside laboratory before we’re able to negotiate with potential export buyers.”
For more information on GTSO’s export plans, please visit http://www.rareearthexporters.com.
The profit agreement with Ar Erkhes is the latest achievement in GTSO’s mission to develop new sources of rare earth elements outside of China, the world’s dominant producer. Recently, the Communist superpower has tightened its grip over the critical elements by placing new restrictions on their mining and export, sparking worldwide fears of supply shortages. In addition to green technology such as wind turbines and hybrid cars, rare earths are essential to the manufacture of automobiles, smartphones and military hardware.

U.S. Geological Survey Warns Congress That Rare Earth Demand Increasing 8% Annually Rising Demand and Dwindling Chinese Exports Threaten U.S.’s Rare Earth Supplies
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTSO:$0.6700,$0.0000,0.00%) works to secure new sources of rare earth elements in Mongolia, Kenya, Botswana and elsewhere, demand for the critical elements continues to rise worldwide.
Bloomberg reported Friday that the U.S. Geological Survey told Congress’ House Natural Resources Committee that global demand for rare earths will increase at a rate of eight percent annually as production of green energy projects, tablet computers, smartphones and hybrid vehicles expands around the world. Domestic manufacturers concerned by potential supply shortages urged Congress last week to help reduce the U.S.’s dependence on China for its rare earth supplies. The Communist superpower, which produces more than 95 percent of the world’s rare earth supplies, alarmed many manufacturers around the globe by announcing last July that it would cut its export quotas by more than 70 percent despite growing global demand. In the months since, mineral prices have skyrocketed.
Fears of potential supply shortages spurred by China’s new policies and ever-increasing demand for the rare elements have made rare earth resources a legislative issue. Congress is currently considering two bills requiring the Interior Department to report regularly on U.S. critical mineral resources. In a report last year, the Energy Department declared U.S. supplies “at risk.”
Access to rare earths is crucial to keeping the U.S. and its allies globally competitive and militarily secure. That is why Green Technology Solutions (GTSO:$0.6700,$0.0000,0.00%) is working to help eliminate the risk of supply shortages. The company has signed agreements to develop new rare earth mines in Mongolia, the Republic of Congo, Botswana, Kenya and other friendly emerging nations.

@Preacher2 - don't know why, but the telephone # for IR on the Fresh Start website has been incorrect for ages!!!! I think I brought that to Barry's attention the last time I spoke with him.
I called (on several occations) and spoke with the poor soul who actually "owns" that number. He is a head hunter for a placement firm for high level executives. Really nice fellow, however, if the number has been disconnected then I'm thinkin' he probablby got tired of all of us calling.....
SNOFF - Analyst Actions: Sino-Forest Gets To Keep Outperform Rating, $27 Target at RBC 06/10 09:19 AM
10:19 AM Eastern Daylight Time, 06/10/2011 (MidnightTrader) -- RBC Capital Markets maintained its Outperform rating and $27 price target on Sino-Forest Corp (SNOFF:$4.8800,$-0.4300,-8.10%) .
It cited several reasons in favour of Sino's business case, according to the Financial Post.
"First, they were able to confirm business registration records for the company's Hong Kong-listed subsidiary (64% owned) Greenheart in Suriname. However, during Muddy Waters' conference call on Monday, the research firm alleged that it was unable to find any such records in the South American company.
"Muddy Waters report also alleged that Sino could not have harvested $231-million worth of fibre in China'sYunnan province since 2.3 million cubic metres exceeded Lingcang city's annual quota. Yet Mr. Quinn noted that Sino sold the trees as standing timber as opposed to harvesting them thereby not being limited by the quota.
"Muddy Waters also suggested that Sino only has 20,000 hectares of timber in Lingcang. However, Sino's data room shows purchases outside the city in Yunnan province and reported ownership on 186,700 hectares there at the end of 2010."
RBC also highlighted Muddy Waters' dependence on 10,000 pages of documents from China'sState Administration for Industry & Commerce, the Financial Post said. RBC reportedly said simply adding up the financials of each subsidiary does not equate to consolidated financials under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) due to differences in accounting. "In addition, it appears easy to miss subsidiaries in reconciling total timber holdings."
Finally, the Financial Post said, RBC pointed to the estimated US$3.1-billion value of Sino's timber assets at the end of 2010 from consulting firm Poyry. However, RBC reportedly believes it penalizes the company's valuation by using an unrealistically long 10-year period to harvest 93.2 million cubic metres of timber. He reportedly thinks a liquidation scenario would more likely see the timber harvested in a five-year period and puts a value of US$4.1-billion on the assets.
SNOFF - Sino-Forest mentioned positively at RBC Capital
RBC believes evidence in mounting in Sino-Forest's favor after the company's Hong-Kong listed subsidiary Greenheart issued a press release disputing the allegations in Muddy Waters' report. RBC said it spoke to the Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Suriname and confirmed the registration information provided by Greenheart. The firm maintains an Outperform rating on Sino-Forest shares. www. theflyonthewall.com

Synthesis Energy Systems Announces $5.0 Million Strategic Equity Investment from Zuari Industries Limited of India
Collaboration Investigating Opportunities for SES U-GAS® Coal Gasification Projects in India 06/10 08:30 AM
HOUSTON, June 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (SYMX:$2.23,00$0.00,000.00%) ("SES"), a global energy and gasification technology company that provides products and solutions to the energy and chemicals industries, announced today a $5.0 million strategic investment from Zuari Industries Limited ("Zuari") of India in exchange for approximately 2.2 million shares of SES common stock. Zuari is one of India's leading industrial companies in the fertilizer sector.
SES and Zuari have been investigating business development opportunities where SES' U-GAS® technology for coal gasification can be integrated into industrial projects in India, including the potential for application of the U-GAS® technology in Zuari's own industrial plants and potential plant expansions. SES and Zuari have also been working together to use Zuari's wholly-owned engineering company, Simon India Limited ("Simon"), for technical services related to SES projects in India.
"Establishing this relationship with Zuari to help drive our opportunities in India is another important validation of our technology and a further execution of our business strategy," stated Robert Rigdon, President and CEO of SES. "We and Zuari believe the U-GAS® gasification technology of SES could have widespread applications across the Indian economy. India is among the world's fastest-growing economies and the country's need for fertilizers for its agricultural industry, other basic chemicals, clean energy products such as synthetic natural gas for residential and industrial uses, transportation fuels, and clean electric power, is rapidly increasing. We appreciate this recognition of our technology's potential for application in India."
"Coal is an abundant natural resource that is becoming even more critical in helping India achieve its ambitious growth objectives over the coming years. With potential shortfalls and price increases for natural gas, higher oil prices due to unrest in the Middle East and fresh concerns over the safety of nuclear energy, clean-coal technology is becoming even more attractive," commented H.S. Bawa, Vice Chairman of Zuari. "We have worked with SES to assess the potential for SES' technology in India and are now convinced of the unique opportunity this technology presents. We look forward to continuing to work with our colleagues at SES to drive project development and accelerate adoption of SES' leading gasification technology for the benefit of the people of India."
About Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (SYMX:$2.23,00$0.00,000.00%)
SES provides technology, equipment and engineering services for the conversion of low rank, low cost coal and biomass feedstocks into energy and chemical products. Its strategy is to create value through providing technology and equipment in regions where low rank coals and biomass feedstocks can be profitably converted into high value products through its proprietary U-GAS® fluidized bed gasification technology, which SES licenses from the Gas Technology Institute. U-GAS® gasifies coal cost effectively, without many of the harmful emissions normally associated with coal combustion plants. The primary advantages of U-GAS® relative to other gasification technologies are (a) greater fuel flexibility provided by the ability of SES to use all ranks of coal (including low rank, high ash and high moisture coals, which are significantly cheaper than higher grade coals), many coal waste products and biomass feed stocks; and (b) the ability of SES to operate efficiently on a smaller scale, which enables the construction of plants more quickly, at a lower capital cost, and, in many cases, in closer proximity to coal sources. SES currently has offices in Houston, Texas, and Shanghai, China. For more information on SES, visit www.synthesisenergy.com or call (713) 579-0600.
