Our Mission is to Mine Water, removing
reclaimable heavy and precious metals,
plus cholera, E. coli and disease causing
bacteria… the by-product of which is pure,
clean, safe drinking water.

Stats
We all know how many people lack clean drinking water and the death and disease rate as the result thereof.
But, did you know….• There’s $2.2 billion, in 880 million lbs. of copper inside
Lake Burragorang, Australia.
• When extracted with other contaminants, the residual
water in the lake will be clean and safe for drinking and
agricultural use… or in other words – PRICELESS!
Even higher levels are seen around mines in Africa and South America.
*See Applications Inventorship and Costs attached.
Is this Realistic?
Contaminated Water SourcesRivers, streams, lakes and ponds unfortunately provide unusable sources for drinking water…
The same water that keeps some alive, also causes diseases, killing and hospitalizing millions every year…
5
Wells provide clean drinking water…
• It is difficult to transport heavy equipment to reach remote locations.• Limitations are posed by terrain, soil composition and the depth of aquifers.• Climate and weather often contribute to high maintenance or failure.
Deep Water Wells
But the demand exceeds the supply.
6
But with limited effectiveness or high cost.
• Some filters remove most bacteria and viruses, but harmful metals remain.• Most devices use disposable filters that cannot be renewed or recycled.• Highly effective units are simply unaffordable for millions worldwide.
Filtration Devices
Filters provide a range of alternatives…
7
100 gl. of seawater produces 15 to 50 gl. of fresh water.
• Extremely high energy use and the treatment of by-products are very expensive.• Brine, a highly concentrated by-product, is a major environmental problem. • Developing cost-effective ways of providing fresh water is a critical challenge.
97% of the water on the earth is salt water...

Desalinization… Viability in Numbers
11
Our technology could prove to provide significant cost savings when applied to the desalinization processes.
• Reduce the number of steps required.• Decrease energy requirements.• Improve efficiency.
• Improve post treatment effectiveness.• Extract and sell metals to offset costs.• Help negate harm to the environment.
