Management also believes the new venture into the Inca Nut market offers an exciting opportunity as this healthy, tasty snack could become one of the newest hot trends with the growing health conscious consumer.”

Ms. Kate Bahnsen, QED Connect President & CFO, stated, “I am very pleased to join QED and help launch Oro Verde’s new Inca Nut Snack division to the next level. We have built a successful operation to date in the gold mining business and believe that with the added resources of financing and management we can now achieve our business plan. The Colombian mining business has introduced us to several prospects in the local community. We have, for example, an exceptional opportunity with the Inca Nut as the worldwide nut and snack foods industry generates about $375 billion in revenue and the Omega 3 market is estimated to grow to $4.3 billion by 2019. With our current base of over 1,750 farmers and our relationships in the community, we are well positioned to support this expanding demand for the Inca Nut worldwide.”
