Vivakor’s corporate mission is to create, acquire and accumulate distinct assets, intellectual properties, and exceptional technologies. The Company’s goal is to deliver the deepest industry model possible with solid returns to its valued shareholders and partners. To carry forward lessons learned and further refine our technologies as we build our capabilities to extract rich, high-demand natural resources and leverage our assets from our projects across the globe.
The company currently focuses on precious metals extraction in the United States and oil extraction from shallow, oil-laden areas in Eastern Utah. Both of the technologies utilized are low-cost, proprietary and proving themselves industry disruptive when measured by a number of important factors.
The general business model has been to be an acquisition hub, focused on building and acquiring cash-flowing assets in discrete areas that have an acknowledged technological advantage and enable a substantial market opportunity within significant target markets across the globe.
Our research, and the technology we acquire are anchored by our relationships with synergistic partners and product-specific commercialization strategies. From the point of product or technology conception, or through acquisition, development and commercialization, we expect to have strategic partners, joint ventures or licensing arrangements in place for many of our products in order to sustain revenue attainment.
This model provides distinct advantages to our stockholders, including:
(i) more efficient and effective research and
development process;
(ii) quicker time to market with a distinguished go-
to-market model;
(iii) value-added growth for the Company and a
safe harbor for shareholder investments.
This is achieved through long-term projects and agreements that deliver diversified, enduring revenue streams for the company and support solid, sustainable investment yields. Our overall objective is to redefine “Blue Chip” in investing vocabulary.
