RENO, Nev., April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Minerals Ltd. (OTC Pink: DSCR) (PINKSHEETS: DSCR) is pleased to provide shareholders with additional information regarding the Joint Venture (JV) with Syngar Technologies. As announced yesterday, the newly formed JV is being extended an exclusive North American license with Cellunol Inc. Cellunol Inc. is a joint venture formed between ANW Inc. of South Africa and Syngar Technologies.
Cellunol's proprietary technology will be deployed through a pilot project set up with one of Discovery's Industrial Hemp growing partners. An inventory of existing industrial hemp is being secured for the purposes of the pilot project. The objectives are to determine the overall cost reductions and increases in ethanol production, resulting from the technology. A typical 600 acre hemp parcel can potentially expect to generate $1,686,000 in revenue and $1,129,000 in profit, not including the possibility of applying for available carbon tax credits.
The following findings are based on a 2011 Manitoba dual-purpose crop report incorporated with a Western Manitoba farmer's report. The conclusions and yield calculations are as follows:
Hemp producing farmland yields approximately 189,000 plants per acre which produces 700 lbs of grain (seed) and 1.5 tons of stalk. Approximately 70% of the 1.5 tons of stalk is the inner hurd core with the remainder being the coveted rope-like fiber or bast. Half the stalk is reclaimed as the dried dead male plants along with any premature stalk material pass through the processing unit. A typical field size of 600 acres should yield about 315 tons of cellulose hurd and 135 tons of the more valuable four foot long green ribbon bast fiber. This estimated yield should generate approximately $1.686 million dollars offset by input costs of $557,000.
Once conclusive data is collected from the pilot project additional research data will be reported.
