Exploration Targets Rare Earth Minerals Beneath Greene Concepts' Property
Greene Concepts (INKW) has received a proposal for geological review and rare earth mineral exploration on its 150-acre property surrounding its bottling plant in McDowell County, NC. The company has engaged Capps Geoscience, a firm with over 40 years of experience, to conduct a Phase 1 minerals exploration survey focusing on Rare Earth Elements (REEs), gold, and base metals like copper and zinc.
The survey will include surface grab samples, soil samples, and geophysics, designed to not disturb the company's aquifer and artesian wells. Early findings have already confirmed the presence of manganese, copper, and zinc near the plant. The property lies within the Blue Ridge geological province, known for pegmatites containing REEs such as uraninite, allanite, zircon, and monazite. McDowell County currently hosts 22 mines, with 16 actively producing.
Greene Concepts (INKW) ha ricevuto una proposta per una revisione geologica e l'esplorazione di minerali delle terre rare su una proprietà di 150 acri che circonda il suo stabilimento di imbottigliamento nella contea di McDowell, NC. L'azienda ha incaricato Capps Geoscience, una società con oltre 40 anni di esperienza, di condurre una indagine di esplorazione mineraria di Fase 1 concentrata sugli Elementi delle Terre Rare (REEs), oro e metalli di base come rame e zinco.
L'indagine includerà campionamenti superficiali, prelievi di suolo e geofisica, progettati per non disturbare l'acquifero e i pozzi artesiani dell'azienda. I primi risultati hanno già confermato la presenza di manganese, rame e zinco vicino allo stabilimento. La proprietà si trova nella provincia geologica Blue Ridge, nota per pegmatiti contenenti REEs come uraninite, allanite, zircone e monazite. Attualmente nella contea di McDowell sono presenti 22 miniere, di cui 16 in attività produttiva.

La empresa ha contratado a Capps Geoscience, una firma con más de 40 años de experiencia, para realizar una encuesta de exploración mineral en Fase 1 enfocada en Elementos de Tierras Raras (REEs), oro y metales básicos como cobre y zinc.
La encuesta incluirá muestras superficiales, muestras de suelo y geofísica, diseñadas para no perturbar el acuífero y los pozos artesianos de la empresa. Los primeros hallazgos ya han confirmado la presencia de manganeso, cobre y zinc cerca de la planta. La propiedad se encuentra dentro de la provincia geológica Blue Ridge, conocida por pegmatitas que contienen REEs como uraninita, allanita, circón y monacita. Actualmente, el condado de McDowell alberga 22 minas, con 16 en producción activa.
Greene Concepts (INKW)는 노스캐롤라이나 맥도웰 카운티에 있는 병입 공장을 둘러싼 150에이커 부지에 대한 지질 검토 및 희토류 광물 탐사 제안을 받았습니다. 이 회사는 40년 이상의 경험을 가진 Capps Geoscience를 고용하여 희토류 원소(REEs), 금, 구리 및 아연과 같은 기본 금속에 중점을 둔 1단계 광물 탐사 조사를 수행할 예정입니다.
조사는 회사의 대수층과 자연 샘물을 방해하지 않도록 설계된 표면 채취 샘플, 토양 샘플 및 지구물리학을 포함합니다. 초기 결과는 이미 공장 근처에서 망간, 구리 및 아연의 존재를 확인했습니다. 이 부지는 우라닌, 알라나이트, 지르콘, 모나자이트와 같은 REEs를 포함하는 페그마타이트로 유명한 블루 릿지 지질 지역 내에 위치해 있습니다. 맥도웰 카운티에는 현재 22개의 광산이 있으며 그중 16개가 활발히 생산 중입니다.
Greene Concepts (INKW) a reçu une proposition pour une étude géologique et une exploration des minéraux de terres rares sur sa propriété de 150 acres entourant son usine d'embouteillage dans le comté de McDowell, en Caroline du Nord. L'entreprise a fait appel à Capps Geoscience, une société forte de plus de 40 ans d'expérience, pour réaliser une enquête d'exploration minérale de phase 1 axée sur les éléments de terres rares (REEs), l'or et les métaux de base tels que le cuivre et le zinc.
L'enquête comprendra des échantillons de surface, des échantillons de sol et des études géophysiques, conçues pour ne pas perturber l'aquifère et les puits artésiens de l'entreprise. Les premières constatations ont déjà confirmé la présence de manganèse, de cuivre et de zinc à proximité de l'usine. La propriété se situe dans la province géologique de Blue Ridge, connue pour ses pegmatites contenant des REEs tels que l'uraninite, l'allanite, le zircon et la monazite. Le comté de McDowell compte actuellement 22 mines, dont 16 en production active.
Greene Concepts (INKW) hat einen Vorschlag für eine geologische Überprüfung und die Erkundung seltener Erden auf seinem 150 Hektar großen Grundstück rund um seine Abfüllanlage im McDowell County, NC, erhalten. Das Unternehmen hat Capps Geoscience beauftragt, ein Unternehmen mit über 40 Jahren Erfahrung, um eine Phase-1-Mineralexplorationsuntersuchung durchzuführen, die sich auf Seltene Erden (REEs), Gold sowie Basismetalle wie Kupfer und Zink konzentriert.
Die Untersuchung umfasst Oberflächenproben, Bodenproben und Geophysik, die so konzipiert sind, dass sie den Aquifer und die artesischen Brunnen des Unternehmens nicht stören. Erste Ergebnisse haben bereits das Vorhandensein von Mangan, Kupfer und Zink in der Nähe der Anlage bestätigt. Das Grundstück liegt in der geologischen Provinz Blue Ridge, die für Pegmatite bekannt ist, die REEs wie Uraninit, Allanith, Zirkon und Monazit enthalten. Im McDowell County gibt es derzeit 22 Minen, von denen 16 aktiv sind.
- Early findings confirm presence of valuable minerals (manganese, copper, zinc) near the plant
- Property location in mineral-rich Blue Ridge geological province with 16 active mines in the area
- Potential new revenue stream from mineral resources if discovered
- Survey designed to protect existing water source integrity
- Mineral exploration is still in early proposal stage with no guaranteed findings
- Any mining activity could potentially impact the company's bottling operations
- Additional capital investment likely needed for full exploration and development
MARION, NC / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2025 / Greene Concepts Inc. (OTC PINK:INKW) is pleased to announce it has received a proposal for an initial geological review and rare earth mineral exploration survey of the company's 150-acre property surrounding its bottling plant. This follows the March 25, 2025 announcement regarding the hiring of a geologist to perform a comprehensive feasibility study on the presence of rare earth minerals and other valuable resources on the land.
The proposal outlines professional geological consulting services to support a desktop review and a Phase 1 minerals exploration survey of Greene Concepts' McDowell County, NC property. This includes surface grab samples, soil samples and geophysics which would not endanger the aquifer and artesian wells that the bottling plant relies upon. This will ensure the continued integrity of the company's water source. The focus will include Rare Earth Elements (REEs), gold, base metals such as copper and zinc, and other Critical Minerals (elements), including zirconium and rutile. The Phase 1 work aims to identify key resource areas to direct future soil sampling and other exploration techniques.
McDowell County, home to the land surrounding Greene Concepts' bottling plant, lies within the Blue Ridge geological province-an area known for its complex metamorphic and igneous rock formations. This region is favorable for the development of pegmatites, which often contain rare earth elements (REEs) such as uraninite, allanite, zircon, and monazite. In addition to REEs, the county is also known for deposits of gold, feldspar, iron, granite, manganese, zinc, and sulfur. Currently, 22 mines have been identified in McDowell County, with 16 actively in production.
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, commented, "We have engaged Capps Geoscience, a highly experienced firm with over 40 years in minerals exploration, disclosure reporting, and technical assessments for both public and private mining companies. Early findings have already confirmed the presence of manganese, copper, and zinc near our plant. With 16 active mines in McDowell County presently, there are plenty of valuable resource minerals yet to be discovered. I am excited about the potential of uncovering additional mineral resources across our full 150 acres."
Mr. Greene continued, "Capps Geoscience comes highly recommended for its expertise across management, fieldwork, operations, and reporting. Importantly, they have also guided us on how to conduct the survey without disturbing the ground around our aquifer and artesian wells, ensuring the continued integrity of our water source. Confirmed discoveries of rare earth and critical minerals on our property could be transformative for Greene Concepts, creating a powerful new revenue stream. We look forward to sharing more updates soon."
