Green Technology Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: GTSO) announced today that the company’s rare earth mining talks with the nation of Kenya are moving forward after a productive meeting last week between GTSO’s African mining consultant and the CEO of Kenya’s Chamber of Mines.

Emmanuel Nino Wenegieme, CEO of Nigerian engineering and consulting company Straight Street International (SSIL), met with Kenya’s top mining official on Friday to detail GTSO’s interest in developing new sources of rare earth elements in the region. Earlier this month, SSIL signed an option agreement to serve as GTSO's African mining consultant and liaison in Kenya, Botswana and other nations as the company searches for profitable new mining projects.

“We had a very productive meeting that allowed me to introduce Green Technology Solutions to the Chamber and detail the company’s interest in developing new rare earth mining operations in Kenya,” Wenegieme said. “The Kenyan government is very eager to develop new resources, including rare earths, and we were encouraged to pursue these interests with the full support of the Chamber of Mines.”

As rare earth prices continue to soar worldwide, GTSO has placed a high priority on developing new sources of the sought-after metals in southern Africa. The company recently signed an option agreement with Hampden Pait Holdings Ltd. (HPH) to explore gold, diamond and rare earth deposits in the Republic of Congo, and with the help of SSIL, GTSO now seeks to forge similar business relationships in other African nations in the region.

“The Kenyan government plans to undertake new geophysical studies of the country’s mineral deposits to replace outdated data from the 1960s,” Wenegieme said. “We plan to assist the Chamber of Mines in securing outside funding for these studies to help get the ball rolling and fast-track the process.”

Green Technology Solutions commercializes clean and renewable mining technology and products in a sector that includes Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM), MV Rare Earth/Strategic Metals (NYSEArca: REMX), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) and 3M Co. (NYSE: MMM).
