The Corporation is actively pursuing new acquisitions which will compliment and diversify its existing services. Certain companies have been targeted based on their services offered and geographic coverage area.
Subsequent to the year end, the Corporation has been successful in obtaining a contract for a trial of a new technology to recover oil, water and solids from contaminated drill cuttings. The technology uses thermal desorption to separate oil, water and solids with all phases being recovered for re-use or disposal.
The Corporation is in the process of creating an exclusive business with the owner of the technology to treat drilling waste in Canada. The trial phase will be carried out through BearStone and will involve operational support from both subsidiaries, BearStone and Porterco.
