White Cliffs Mining Inc.
ZEOX’s wholly owned subsidiary, White Cliffs Mining Inc., owns and operates a Diatomite mineral property consisting of 20 unpatented placer mining claims covering 3,120 acres situated in the Mammoth Mining District, Pinal County, Arizona, a reclamation bond, plant facilities and equipment. White Cliffs was acquired in October 2006 and provides ZEOX with commercial non-metallic mineral ores, including high purity zeolites, and production facilities from which to commence distribution of product offerings engineered from its zeolite products and technologies.
GSA Resources Inc.
In June 2007 ZEOX completed the acquisition of GSA Resources Inc. and Cheto Partners LLC of certain valuable business assets and associated high-value zeolite (chabazite) including both lower bed high purity chabazite and lower upper bed chabazite in mineral properties consisting of unpatented placer mining claims and Arizona State lease renewals covering 1,500 acres in Arizona. Chabazites from these locations are proven catalysts for many of the markets that ZEOX is targeting for exploitation.
Ash Meadows, LLC
Ash Meadows, LLC, a Wisconsin, USA limited liability company, now an indirect subsidiary of ZEOX, controls a state-of-the-art processing plant situated on a 9-acre site and valuable industrial mineral reserves on the Nevada and California border strategically located to the port of Los Angeles.
| Acquisition - Sodium Sulphate |
On September 11, 2007, ZEOX's wholly owned subsidiary Nanostructured Minerals Corporation has completed its acquisition of the assets of Palo Sodium Sulphate Mine located near Whiteshore Lake, Saskatchewan.
Assets acquired include 682 acres of land, mineral leases, buildings, plant and equipment, mobile equipment and rail lines. Consideration paid for the acquisition was $1,000,000 and the assumption of the financial obligations of approximately $279,000 for mining permits and bonds granted by the Province of Saskatchewan.
This acquisition is key to the business strategy of the Company. It provides the following strategic advantages:
- Strategic location with rail lines to service large volumes of material to marketplaces in the oil and gas and construction industries to and from the Company's zeolite production facilities in Arizona and Nevada.
- Sodium Sulphate mineral leases covering Whiteshore Lake.
- Proven reserves of sodium sulphate - an accelerator in the Company's patented and proprietary product lines in zeolite-based concretes for oil and gas and construction applications.
- The Palo facility with plant and equipment with a design capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum.
- Land to expand facilities and capacity.
- Full service electric power and natural gas.
| Acquisition - Nano Clay Technology Patents |
On August 9, 2007 ZEOX has completed its acquisition of 51% of Nano Clays LLC ("NCL").NCL is a limited liability corporation in the State of Arizona and will operate as a 51% subsidiary of ZEOX. NCL now holds the exclusive, worldwide rights to various high-tech IP consisting of proprietary and patent pending technology covering Clay/Polymer/Nano-composites, Carbon Nano-Tube/Polymer Nano-Composites, Surfactants and solid-state process technology.
Some applications of these materials include:
- Barrier coatings for OLED systems
- Additives for improved gas barrier and water-resistance in polyolefins and polyolefin composites
- Cosmetic applications, e.g. greaseless hand creams, sunscreens, topical ointments and astrigents
- Rheology modifiers for water- and oil-based system
- Time released therapeutic agents
- Time released insect repellants for application to clothing in military and civilian use
- Sensor materials
- Heat transfer fluids
- Single-ion conductors for use in Li+ batteries and proton conducting membranes
- Homeland security applications as super adsorbents - engineered clay systems contain 500 m2/g external surface area, promising rapid mass transfer that is many times higher than conventional organoclays
- Low-cost liquid crystal systems for electronic displays (the clay platelets are highly anisotropic with aspect ratios as high as 500)
- "dry" lubricants especially suitable for vacuum applications
- Non-migratory surfactants to aid dispersion of polar materials into hydrophobic polymers, and are especially useful in formulating water-based, emulsion polymerization systems
