Advanced Technology Would Enhance GTSO's Minerals Recovery Rate

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GTSO Resources, the mining subsidiary of Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GTSO), announced today that it has tested a new technology at MINExpo 2012 that would dramatically improve the rate of mineral recovery in the company's mining projects.

Thermo Scientific's Portable XRF analyzers, such as the Niton XL3 Series, could soon help GTSO and its partners identify concentrations of crucial elements in seconds at prospective mining sites around the world. The electronic devices are designed to drastically improve accuracy in mapping mineral hot spots, improving overall operational efficiency.

"We were introduced to these amazing tools at MINExpo International, and we're extremely excited about its potential to streamline our discovery processes," said GTSO CEO Paul Watson. "The XRF analyzer is able to locate potentially lucrative mineral samples and map their locations using built-in GPS. We see potential in its use in a range of activities from on-field assessment in traditional mining to analyzing minerals reclaimed in urban mining operations."

MINExpo International 2012 drew 1,890 exhibitors to Las Vegas this week, resulting in the largest collection of mining equipment ever gathered.

GTSO is currently pursuing opportunities in the mining of tungsten, lithium, gold and other valuable metals in mineral-rich regions including Ghana, Chile and Alaska. Alongside the company's joint venture partners, Diamond V Associates, GTSO has initially analyzed surface samples now in preparation to begin excavation at the most promising of its target sites.

In addition, the company is in talks to partner with or acquire urban mining operations in North and South America in order to capitalize on the rise of e-waste recycling services worldwide.
