Per 2015 filings : QEDN owns Gold Mine and Seed business

* In June of 2015, QED acquired Oro Verde Inc. (formally known as Green M&A Solutions), a private US company that has 100% ownership of Green Mine Solutions, a Colombian company. The Company harvests and de-shells the Sacha Inchi seeds from farmers in the area surrounding mining communities and other farming areas in Colombia and Peru, The Sacha Inchi Plant (Plukenetia Volubilis) is a rain forest vine which produces a star-shaped pod that contains a seed known as “Sacha Inchi”. Relatively unknown outside of South America, Sacha Inchi seeds are considered one of the new “superfoods” primarily for their health benefits. The seeds possess a high concentration of Omega 3 (48%) with low saturated fatty acids (6%) contain anti- inflammatory properties with Vitamin A and Vitamin E, and are a great source of protein (30%). The seeds are Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Kosher and have no “fishy” aftertaste as with other Essential Fatty Sources (EFS) sources. Sacha Inchi was included on Dr. Oz’s 2010 checklist as the best snack food for losing weight.

* The Company operates a processing plant and warehouse in Florida, Colombia to de-shell, hydrate, and prepare the Sacha Inchi seeds for export. The seeds are then transported to the USA to a roasting company for final preparation, seasoning, roasting, and packaging in “retail ready” bags. The products is marketed through retailers and other outlets under their private label as well as the company’s brand “Inca Snacks” in the USA, Canada, Japan, Europe and China.
* In November 2015, QED entered into an agreement with Daymon Worldwide, a global leader in consumables retailing. Through its renowned industry expertise in private brand building, experiential consumer marketing, and innovative retail-driven services, Daymon collaborates with more than 100 major retailers and nearly 6,000 manufacturers in 50 countries.
The Company is actively engaged in development programs to introduce other products made from Sacha Inchi such as Inca butter, Inca milk, protein powder and energy/protein beverages/bars that can increase the nutritional value of foods and drinks.
