Overview
Based in the Pacific Northwest, a hot-bed of Green Tech innovation, Management has already been successful in acquiring the rights to two revolutionary sustainable technologies: the Electro reduction of Carbon Dioxide (ERC) technology, and the Biometals Recovery System (BRS) (Soon to be announced).
In collaboration with Kemetco Research Inc., Mantra established a research facility in Vancouver, British Columbia for development of its technologies in May 2008. Staffed by dedicated research team, this plant has capabilities in chemical analysis, chemical, metallurgical and mining engineering, as well as a fully equipped scientific laboratory and pilot plant.
Business Model
Mantra’s aggressive eight-step growth strategy, as outlined below, will see the company create a significant return on investment for investors by becoming a key contributor to the global effort for environmental sustainability.
1.Environmental Assessment: Observe current and future trends in global environment, including: climate change, energy use, pollution and natural resources
2.Identify Future Need: Recognize environmental trends of greatest concern that lack technical solutions
3.Understand Regulatory Framework Surrounding Need: Investigate political and regulatory environment and barriers affecting entry into identified market
4.Locate, Evaluate and Acquire Technology Surrounding Need: Draw upon management and technical expertise to select technologies best suited to meet identified need
5.Investment*: Inject capital into project
6.Infrastructure, Incubation and Innovation*: Use capital injection and management expertise to establish formal corporate infrastructure and optimize technology to best suit intended application(s).
7.Market Acceptance and Adoption: Entrance of technology into local, national and international marketplace.
8.Licensing and or Spin-off Business Unit: Revenue generation through licensing agreements with industry-leading organizations, with sale of entire business unit as an alternate exit strategy.

Mantra Media
Mantra also established Mantra Media Corp in July, 2007. Mantra Media Corp. is a Green Tech marketing and graphic design organization with the purpose of helping Mantra, its subsidiaries, and its clients to optimize their presence through the eyes of government, Industry and the general public. This subsidiary group offers Mantra a consistent revenue stream while other technologies progress through the business model above.
Current Projects
1. Electroreduction of Carbon Dioxide -- Carbon (CO2) Reduction Machine!
2. Biometals Recovery System (BRS)
Mantra signed an exclusive Option Agreement to acquire the license of the Biometals Recovery System (BRS)- a revolutionary mine wastewater technology, on February 27th, 2009. Biometals Recovery System is a biological-based water treatment system that selectively recovers and upgrades valuable metals with maximum energy recovery.
Acid mine drainage (AMD), the outflow of acidic water from abandoned metal mines or coal mines, is responsible for the contamination of 40% of western waterways. While the U.S. Bureau of Mines estimates current AMD remediation expenditures to be $1 Million per day, these efforts have been largely inadequate due to the ineffectiveness of current AMD mitigation technologies. In 2004, the EPA listed 63 hardrock mining Superfund sites with a combined estimated cleanup costs of $7.8 Billion- representing only a fraction of global market demand.
In addition to the treatment of acid mine drainage, a secondary market for Mantra’s BRS technology is Heap Leaching Metal Recovery. Heap leaching is currently responsible for 20% of worldwide copper production, representing an approximate market value of $12 Billion USD.
Bioteq Environmental, one of the pioneers in the AMD remediation sector, represents a fairly accurate representation of Mantra’s intended entry into this industry. Bioteq’s technology, as developed by the same inventor of Mantra’s BRS technology, has led to annual revenues of $4.6 Million USD since going public in 2000. In 2007, Bioteq processed a total of 4.46 billion liters of water, recovered 1.4 million pounds of copper and increased its operations and engineering staff by 40%.
Mantra’s BRS technology relies on a much more efficient biological reaction, which is combined with product upgrading and energy recovery to provide a major economic advantage over competing technologies in the AMD mitigation market. Therefore, upon completion of the BRS technology, Mantra anticipates rapidly overcoming market penetration rates achieved by its competitors.
The implementation of BRS technology will focus on the development of selected large-scale projects in collaboration with key industry partners, resulting in on-going profitability for all parties involved. In addition, Mantra anticipates licensing the BRS technology to resource companies for their own applications for projects that do not fit within Mantra’s discretionary project criteria.
