Additionally, while the concerted focus and pursuit of Empire’s core and primary commitment to oil exploration will be foremost, it is also the development potential in the recovering financial markets that present an opportunity for Empire to maximize its public trading vehicle by engaging in other business opportunities with capacity for success. One such enterprise is in the recovering financial services arena facilitating credit card opportunities to specialized markets. As another accessory to expanding and diversifying Empire’s base of operations is the expanding global market for medical waste treatment currently under development within the Grand Monarch Holdings, Inc. structure.
