Vivakor Eagerly Expands Natural Resources Operational Focus

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - June 26, 2014) - Vivakor Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VIVK) announced it is expanding its activities in the world of natural resources. Today the Company declared that in its preparation for full time operation of its newest version of their next-generation, disruptive precious metal extraction technology, they uncovered another significant advantage to their growing capability to monetize rich, high demand natural resources. 

Vivakor has eighteen (18) precious metal claims between Arizona and Colorado with strong in-ground valuation. The area in Colorado is significantly rich in precious metals and during extensive geological research performed by the Vivakor's scientific team, the Company discovered additional resources of major value in the soil that they will enthusiastically pursue and look to include in its operations. 

Chairman and CEO Matt Nicosia stated, "We are as excited about our new capability as we are about the precious metal extraction division which has exceeded everyone's expectations. A continued ability to increase value for shareholders is very high on our priority list since the beginning of 2014. We are pleased that we can continue to expand our operational capacity and productivity through this discovery.

"The addition of metals extraction units and the expansion that we'll be announcing fully in the very near future is crystallizing Vivakor's vision of strong, long-range entrenchment in the Natural Resources markets as we move toward an up-list to a major exchange. The intellectual capital we continue to amass positions Vivakor to successfully achieve its overall goals and objectives."

Vivakor realizes a very strong gold equivalent yield per ton of ore through highly efficient and optimized precious metals extraction methodology. This technology is proprietary and industry disruptive with a low cost basis per ton of ore processed from sizable mining claims in Arizona and Colorado.
