Vivakor Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VIVK) announces that VivaVentures Precious Metals
closed its 2014 first quarter and previous 12-month metals production with very
solid marks. This achievement is credited to the highly productive efficiency of
its proprietary, industry disruptive technology and methodology for extraction
of Precious Metals from ore bodies.


VivaVentures Precious Metals established increasing efficiencies to its
operating model in order to sharpen its focus on value over volume. This was in
anticipation of the new scaled-up extraction machine expected to be on-line in
May 2014. This highly optimized second machine will greatly enhance the tonnage
process per day. The positive momentum in production output will continue in the
form of lower costs, improved yield and enhanced free cash flow for the company.
VivaVentures Precious Metals, an asset of Vivakor, realizes a very healthy gold
equivalent yield through a highly efficient and optimized extraction process
with a low cost basis per ton of ore processed.


Vivakor Chairman and CEO Matt Nicosia stated, "We are very pleased about our
continued effort to maximize value for shareholders, and to position the
business to capture the benefits of global economic recovery and continued
demand growth in the longer term.


Higher production output increases asset growth, and our highly efficient
extraction methodology enables continued cash accrual going forward. Vivakor is
well poised to expand its operational capacity. Last year we improved by 35%
quarter-over-quarter our total ounces accumulated. We exceeded 2013 expectations
and our projections for 1Q2014 have been exceeded by 11.9% from 4Q2013 results. 



The addition of metals extraction units this year is beginning to set the stage
for Vivakor's long-range positioning in the Precious Metals markets and we're
excited about our future! Thank you for trusting and investing in Vivakor, and
for your continued interest and support in our operations."
