LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - December 05, 2016) - Vivakor Inc.
(OTC PINK: VIVK) announced GAAP based financial results for the quarter ended September 30,
2016.
Company financials are filed quarterly with OTC Markets and all filings are available on the OTC Markets web page. Some key
year-over-year figures are the 27% increase in total assets, 34% increase in precious metals concentrate, 130% increase in
revenues, and 61% increase in gross profit for the third quarter ending September 30th. Other important business
activities are as follows:
- Production operations of oil extraction in Utah steadily continues to increase. Royalty Program Investors already began to
receive royalty payments from oil production sales in Utah.
- As reported in Q2 2016, the Company officially engaged in a Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Remediation and Reclamation
Technology (RRT), a 35-year-old US based Thermal Technology company to further enhance Vivakor's extraction technology and
capabilities. The combined companies continue to enrich their end-to-end operational processes for oil extraction as well as
remediation and reclamation capabilities.
Chairman and CEO Matt Nicosia stated, "We are very pleased with the progress and success of our metals and energy technologies
and our business model this past quarter. We have now become the only Company to profitably produce and micro refine the bitumen
in the oil sands from the Uintah Basin in Utah. We strongly believe that our technology held and operated by our joint venture
VIVARRT, will be the long-term solution for extraction and distribution of hydrocarbon products from oil sands. Additionally, our
operational model to create modular mobile units provides a huge competitive advantage over the large production plants of
competitors as we can control costs and realize profitable production that can also be scaled. The current expansion into
overseas projects through our joint venture with VIVARRT has become a top priority and will be significant. Our vision to offer
investors a royalty program on our revenue streams from our technologies is a driving factor in our financial growth. We intend
to explore all options in maximizing shareholder value through such programs as we believe our lasting value will be derived by
diversifying into multiple revenue streams within our technologies that make great business sense."
Vivakor continues to focus on total asset accrual in their Precious Metals and Energy Business Units. The Company operates its
multiple precious metal extraction processing machines from Henderson, NV. Additionally, Vivakor entered the Energy Sector back
in 2014. At that time, the Company developed a proprietary, environmentally clean methodology for extraction of oil from the
designated Oil Sands area in Utah. This proprietary, patent pending technology has been combined with a thermal, hydrocarbon
cracking and extraction technology held by the VIVARRT joint venture. Eastern Utah has over 32 billion proven barrels of oil in
the rich oil sands within the State. As Vivakor acquired this technology and methodology for extraction of the high-value oil
sands; VIVARRT also announced an ability to support remediation and reclamation contracts of contaminated sands from oil spills
across the globe.
Vivakor's intellectual properties are proprietary and proving industry disruptive with a low-cost basis in their operations
model in the natural resources sector. The Company focus is specifically in Precious metals extraction and green, clean oil
extraction from rich oil sands and is expanding worldwide in support of significant remediation and reclamation projects. These
asset classes provide Vivakor with a significant capability and opportunity going forward while maximizing the expansion of its
technologies.
