I really don't want anyone to jump off the deep end over Veridium, it is a speculative stock. 2 months ago I would not have touched it with a ten foot pole. Recent developments, however have convinced me to place a sizable portion of my portfolio in Veridium. I love their business model, normally one would expect to just sell a turn key system to a customer, offer maintenance assistance, and basically just move on. Veridium instead gives them the turn key system with no upfront cost, but receives in return a contract for the life of the system to be able to buy at a significant reduction from market all of the production of this turn key system. For a system that costs Veridium about $1,000,000 Veridium receives an income stream for the next XX years of about $1.5-$1.8 million per year. This is for the average sized ethanol producer. Larger installations will produce higher income streams. This system is adaptable, so far 4 ethanol refineries have adopted it, and with additions to this technology Veridium can extract the usable fats from the effluent stream of meat packing plants. One meat packing plant has presently opted for this technology. Creating an income stream of better than $2.1 million. A nice thing is to wake up Monday mornings lately. Veridium has for the past 6 weeks announced new contracts in this area 4 ethanol plants, 1 meat packing plant and an agreement with sister company Mean Green Biofuels to sell Mean Green the oils the extraction system produces at a fixed discount to the finished fuel price, this will correspond to a premium over corn oil prices. Dreaming a little, I expect continuing announcements on Monday mornings of new sales of these contracts. Veridium has stated it expects to saturate the ethanol industry with it's Corn Oil Extraction System(TM). Should that happen there are presently 66 ethanol plants in the US, and some corn - ethanol plants in Europe either existing now or under construction. Taking just the present US plants should Veridium sell 6 more the income stream would jump by $10 million. 12 more and the income stream would jump by 20 million, sell them all and the income stream would jump by $100 million. Some where in the middle is a probable certainty. If you walked into my factory producing $75 million per year and proved to me you could increase my bottom line (profit) by $1.5 million I would not let you out the door until we had signed the deal. Add to the ethanol plants meat packing plants, and I have no idea where it will go. I do know the meat packing plants have a big problem separating the blood, fat, protein, etc. from their effluent waste water stream, and then disposing of the muck. Might I add expensive problem. Veridium offers a new free $2,000,000 dollar addition to the bottom line while reducing this muck that is output by 80%. It is a no brainer once again. Were I the president of the meat packing plant, I would lock you in until you signed the deal. I like to dream, can you imagine 50 ethanol refineries and 50 meat packing plants in a year? It is a dream that just might could come true. If not in a year then maybe two? Veridium has one other technology that excites me. Ethanol refineries emit megatons of carbon dioxide from the fermentation process. Veridium has a reasonably small footprint size reactor system that feeds the carbon dioxide and sunlight to algae which then die fall to the bottom and are removed several times a day. These algae are 94% starch and 6% oil and can be feed right back into the refinery as feed stock, producing more ethanol for the refinery and more Oil for Veridium. This technology is scalable, it can be applied to any carbon dioxide stream, like coal/natural gas/petroleum/biomass power stations. Can you envision 4 corners. It not only removes the carbon dioxide it also removes most other pollutants. With the increasing moves towards licensing carbon dioxide emissions this technology may be on the edge of explosion. Please do your own Due Diligence. Veridium is facing a huge growth boom, it is questionable whether they can handle it alone. They are just a couple of months past having their auditor declare they were in imminent danger of bankruptcy. They also just greatly expanded the stock outstanding. Their income now justifies the present price and more even with the increased stock outstanding. May I repeat do your own due diligence. r

Here is an explanation of Veridium's packing plant waste processing technology. It provides a negative cost biodiesel feed stock as Veridium is paid for reducing the volume of Dissolved Air Flotation ("DAF") sludge. Veridium extracts the fats from this sludge, reducing the volume of DAF that must be disposed of by land application. waterandwastewater.com New : Veridium's "Chicken Fat" to Fuel Process By Ed Lewis NEW YORK, NY -- Veridium Corporation and Mean Green BioFuels Corporation today announced their plans to joint venture on the conversion of fats from livestock and poultry facility wastes into biodiesel fuel. Dissolved Air Flotation Sludge About 100 million pigs, 35 million cattle, 1.6 billion turkeys, and 8 billion chickens are slaughtered and processed each year in the United States. This contributes to the nation's meat and poultry supply and involves the activities of farms, slaughterhouses, and by-product disposal companies. Virtually every portion of the processed animals are used in edible food products, pet food or commercial feed. The USDA requires facilities that process these meats to use large volumes of clean water to continuously rinse the meats as they are cut and packaged. The derivative large volumes of water contain extremely high levels of protein and fat. These nutrients are removed from the wastewater using conventional but highly efficient wastewater processing methods. This results in a cleaned wastewater and a concentrated sludge, which is called Dissolved Air Flotation ("DAF") sludge. The poultry industry alone generates in excess of 2.5 billion pounds or more than 63,000 tanker loads per year of DAF sludge. The conventional practice among the more than 500 livestock and poultry processing facilities in the industry is to transport and dispose DAF sludge through land application. This Truck Runs on DAF Sludge Veridium's proprietary DAF sludge processing technology effectively reduces the volume of DAF sludge by 80% while recovering the majority of the animal fats contained in the sludge. Veridium's technology enables livestock and poultry processing facilities to dramatically reduce the volume of sludge they are shipping and disposing. This translates to reduced costs and increased profitability for livestock and poultry processing facilities. Poultry processing facilities alone will generate in excess of 50 million gallons or 10,000 tanker loads per year of this fat when utilizing Veridium's process, and this fat can be cost-effectively converted into biodiesel fuel. David Winsness, president and chief operational officer of Veridium's new technology division, said that "this is where our alliance with Mean Green is important - Veridium is providing its technology to these facilities for no up-front cost in return for fixed long-term annuities tied to a percentage of how much we reduce their waste handling costs. Mean Green will then purchase the oil recovered from the fat in the DAF sludge and convert in into biodiesel fuel." Winsness added "each installation of this technology helps the agricultural industry to increase their profits by dramatically reducing waste disposal costs and by producing biodiesel. This then helps to increase job creation, to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, and to reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gases because biodiesel does not contain petroleum hydrocarbons." Veridium is showcasing its new DAF sludge recycling and other technologies at the 2006 International Poultry Expo this week in Atlanta, Georgia. Veridium and Mean Green are both portfolio companies of GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GSHF). About Veridium Corporation Veridium Corporation is a publicly traded industrial waste recycling company and holds the rights to more than a dozen proprietary universal processing, water purification, emissions control and waste recycling technologies.

I think the O/S is gone, at about two hours before the close today VRDM started climbing kind of unprecedented (for this time of day) over the last couple of weeks, Over the past few weeks there have been just a multitude of sales of between 40000 and 50000 shares at a time. There were few if any sales like that in the last couple of hours today. Having owned a stock that went through a similar O/S this past few weeks pattern seems almost identical. With Veridium's pattern before the close today I expect a gap up on Monday, if Veridium follows its pattern over the past couple of months and announces new news Monday morning the action should be pretty fast and furious. As always these are just my thoughts, do your own DD. r
