SUTIMCo International, Inc. Signs Option Agreement with Penn State
University
SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SUTIMCo
International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SUTI) is pleased to announce that
the Company has signed an Option Agreement with Penn State University. The Option Agreement between
The Penn State Research Foundation and SUTIMCo International gives
SUTIMCo an exclusive remuneration bearing license under the PATENT
RIGHTS to make, sell and perform processes covered by the Patent
entitled "Composition and Method to Control Acid Rock
Drainage."
The License being acquired by SUTIMCo is a solution to acid mine
drainage. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a national problem, but
one-third of waters impacted by that problem are located in
Pennsylvania, which after over a
century of coal extraction, has produced more coal tonnage than any
other state in the U.S. AMD is Pennsylvania's single largest non-point source
water pollutant, impacting 2,500 miles of streams (PA DEP, 1999b). There are over 1,200 coal mines
in the United States, and each
mine spends up to $1,000,000 annually
as part of the clean up due to Acid Mine Drainage.
As opposed to the traditional methods of cleaning up the
pollution after the fact, the AMD Solution will allow mines to
apply a coating prior to the extraction which will prevent Acid
Mine Drainage and ultimately the negative environmental impact of
coal mining. As part of the Agreement, SUTIMCo will be
providing The Penn State Research Foundation a business plan and
will need to raise $500,000.
SUTIMCo's Management believes there is tremendous value in this
Patent as this AMD Solution has applications in Fracking
operations. It is management intention that this technology
will be a key part of SUTIMCO's Resource Extraction business
unit.
"SUTIMCo strongly believes Penn
State's work in this area is truly significant and that this
Acid Mine Solution will have a real positive financial and
environmental impact on both the mining, oil and gas and
infrastructure sectors of the economy," stated Fred Rogers, President SUTIMCo International,
Inc.
SUTIMCo's early stage management services and infrastructure are
provided through Business Units (parent companies that manage and
support up to four portfolio companies). The mission of each
Business Unit is to finance, grow and sell successful companies as
they mature out of the start‐up stage and become attractive to
larger companies. SUTIMCo plans to operate Business Units in
the areas of Quality of Life, Alternative Energy, Food
Safety, Environmental Technologies, and Consumer Products.
SUTIMCo's robust portfolio of relationships with prestigious
American universities is unique and strategic. North American
universities invest over $42 billion
in science and technology research, with about 15,000 new
technologies disclosed annually. SUTIMCo's portfolio of technology
and innovation start-ups, in partnership with more than two-dozen
of the nation's premier research universities, includes
technologies and products in the pre-funding stage and
projects in the development process. Each of these business
entities is being advanced by the SUTIMCo management team and
methodology.
Currently, SUTIMCo is working to fund and operate three Business
Units, Quality of Life, Environmental Technologies, which will
include its AquaStar Corporation, and Alternative Energy Unit.
Although the new business model is tremendously profitable,
SUTIMCo's clients do not have the capital necessary to pay SUTIMCo
on a timely basis. SUTIMCo must wait for its clients to
either raise money or generate revenues in order to receive money
from its Venture Accelerator Agreements (VAA). SUTIMCo's
management believes that the short term risk will pay off as the
technologies behind the VAA are based upon both University Research
and Government support.
SUTIMCo previously announced that it retained the services of
L.L. Bradford to complete its
financial audits so the Company can achieve its goal to up list to
the OTC Markets OTCQB marketplace. L.L.
Bradford is in its final stages of the 2 Year Audit and
believes it can have it completed in the next 30 days.
