Aspire Announces Startup of Mygos Ecommerce Platform in Taiwan
August 18 2011 - 8:00AM
Aspire International Inc. (Pink Sheets:APIT) today announced the
startup of its Hong Kong-based Mygos ecommerce platform in Taiwan,
the first step of a planned Mygos rollout into a number of dynamic
Southeast Asia markets.
With an estimated 2011 GDP near US$450 billion, Taiwan ranks
among the world's top twenty-five economies. It has an
entrepreneurial, export-driven economy with gradually decreasing
state involvement in investment and foreign trade. The trade
surplus is substantial, and its foreign reserves are the world's
fifth largest.
In 1962, Taiwan had a per capita gross national product (GNP) of
US$170. But by 2005 its per capita GNP, adjusted for purchasing
power parity (PPP), had soared to US$27,600. Taiwan is now the
world's largest supplier of contract computer chip manufacturing
(foundry services) and is a leading manufacturer of LCD panels,
DRAM computer memory, networking equipment and consumer
electronics.
Aspire CEO Bok Wong commented, "The initial response to our
Taiwan initiative has exceeded our expectations. We are already
experiencing a rapid rate of growth in business, which would
indicate a strong market for the services we provide. The Taiwanese
are noted for their entrepreneurial skills. We believe that our
Mygos ecommerce platform provides significant leverage for
optimizing the application of such skills."
The company expects Mygos to enter other major Southeast Asia
markets before the end of September as it continues to build and
expand its presence in the Far East.
In addition, Aspire expects to complete a transaction with
respect to its principal manganese mining target within 30
days.
About Aspire International Inc.
Aspire International Inc., www.aspireinternationalinc.com, is a
U.S. corporation whose executive offices are in Toronto, Ont.,
Canada. Aspire is an emerging holding company focused on resource,
ecommerce and high-tech projects.
Earlier this year the company acquired and now operates a Hong
Kong-based international B2C shopping mall, www.mygos.net, "My
Global Online Shop" (Mygos) – an ecommerce platform that enables
anyone to start his or her own business online.
Aspire also intends to acquire, explore and develop world-class
mineral properties in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of
southwestern China, prospective in particular for manganese and
gold.
The company's principal manganese mining target is a property
that covers an area of 21.3 square kilometers containing 7.4
million metric tons of ore according to an NI 43-101 compliant
report certified by a qualified geologist with more than thirty
years experience. The on-site operations are led by a highly
capable Chinese management team.
Recently a LOI was executed to acquire a majority interest in a
3.95 square kilometer concession (also located in the Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region) known to contain a minimum of five zones
of gold mineralization, of which two are in production and
considered economically viable. According to government geologists
and recent geological survey work, the property may contain over
one million metric tons of commercially mineable gold-bearing ore,
with considerable additional potential to further expand the
resource.
