Currently the terms of the license are such that 65% of the revenues derived from the production of the precious metals is retained by the licensors, Harnell Trading Limited and their related parties. The tender comprises an offer to exchange 20 million new issued shares of Common Stock of the Company together with the retirement of existing contractual obligations in the amount of $4.8 million for the transfer of 100% of the intellectual property rights to the technology. Paul de Rome, President of the Company stated, "The acquisition of the intellectual property rights to the technology will result in the Company being able to consolidate all the revenues which would have been paid away and therefore the opportunity to acquire the technology prior to the implementation of the proposed production plant in Texas is considered to be at a considerably reduced cost than would accrue once production is underway."
