Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GTSO) and its partners have received confirmation from a European smelter that the multi-ton shipment containing precious metals is ready for final processing. On a positive note, the shipment was found to contain almost 65 percent metal minerals.

Just as significant as the potential profits from the mineral resources, beginning a business relationship with this multinational smelter could dramatically elevate GTSO’s standing in the global e-waste recycling marketplace.

“The big thing in this is proof of concept,” GTSO CEO Paul Watson said. “We are going through the entire process with this world-leading smelter for the first time. Upon receiving and grading our shipment, we have proven our real intentions and business plan for Latin America as an excellent e-waste case study.

“This is the initial step in what we believe will be a long and profitable relationship between GTSO, Chilerecicla and established and emerging smelters.”

GTSO, through its partnership with Chilerecicla, is positioning itself to make major gains in the e-waste marketplace. The deal with Chilerecicla and established smelters is just the beginning of the Company’s strategic plan to capitalize on the projected $11.4 billion e-waste market. The next steps will take one to two weeks wherein the smelter will quantify and categorize the exact type of metal minerals.

Urban mining is pivotal to GTSO’s vision to compete alongside major international corporations striving for sustainable waste solutions, such as Covanta Holding Corporation (NYSE: CVA), Industrial Services of America (NASDAQ: IDSA) and Sims Metal Management Ltd. (NYSE: SMS). Late last year, GTSO acquired the company Global Cell Buyers and soon after rebranded the company as Green Urban Mining to handle its domestic recycling and resale operations.
