Company Description
Verde Resources Inc. (VRDR) is described in its public communications as an emerging leader in sustainable infrastructure and environmentally sustainable road construction technologies. The company’s focus is on low-carbon materials for infrastructure that help the construction sector move toward what it brands as #TransitionToZero™, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining or improving pavement performance.
Verde Resources trades on the OTCQB market under the symbol VRDR. According to SEC filings, the company is incorporated in Nevada and has principal executive offices in St. Louis, Missouri. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Verde Renewables Inc., the company develops and licenses proprietary technologies used in asphalt and road materials.
Business focus and core technologies
Across multiple press releases, Verde describes itself as a road materials company and a leader in sustainable infrastructure. Its work centers on proprietary, environmentally sustainable road construction solutions that integrate biochar and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into asphalt mixes. A key area of emphasis is the development of carbon‑sequestering asphalt materials that can both reduce emissions and store carbon within road surfaces.
A central product platform highlighted in the company’s news is BioAsphalt™, a cold-mix asphalt technology designed to use 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement combined with biochar and a specialized emulsion system. BioAsphalt™ is described as burnerless and solvent‑free, produced and applied at ambient temperatures, and intended to lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional hot mix asphalt. The company states that this approach can extend paving seasons, reduce installation costs, and improve working conditions by eliminating heat and odors during application.
Verde also refers to a proprietary emulsifying agent used in cold-mix biochar asphalt, identified in SEC filings as Verde V24. This agent is engineered to enable low‑temperature emulsion production with reduced greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional binders and to facilitate the integration of biochar into asphalt mixes. The company’s technology platform is aimed at optimizing the use of native soils and recycled materials, accelerating installation, and improving efficiency while lowering life‑cycle costs.
Carbon removal and BioAsphalt™
Verde’s communications emphasize a dual objective: improving pavement performance and enabling engineered carbon removal. By incorporating biochar into asphalt, the company seeks to create road materials that sequester carbon dioxide. Press releases describe BioAsphalt™ as a carbon‑sequestering or climate‑positive material that can generate certified Carbon Removal Credits.
In collaboration with Oregon Biochar Solutions and the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), Verde reported a proof‑of‑concept project at the NCAT Test Track involving cold mix asphalt with biochar. This project led to what the company describes as the world’s first biochar‑based Carbon Removal Credits from asphalt applications, certified by Puro.earth. Verde states that these credits were pre‑purchased by a large financial institution focused on carbon dioxide removals, and that its model is intended to allow infrastructure projects to combine pavement construction with verified carbon removal.
The company also highlights an IP model that links its technologies to revenue from carbon removal credits, positioning its road materials as a way for infrastructure owners and contractors to reduce emissions while potentially accessing additional value streams from certified carbon removal.
Partnerships and licensing model
Verde’s strategy, as described in its news releases and SEC filings, relies heavily on commercial partnerships and licensing agreements. Through Verde Renewables Inc., the company entered into a Joint Development Agreement and subsequent addendum with C‑Twelve Pty Ltd (C‑Twelve), an Australian company that manufactures Verde 24 (Verde V24). This relationship grants Verde exclusive rights to distribute Verde 24 in specified territories, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and contemplates joint ownership of solutions developed and piloted in the United States.
Building on this technology base, Verde Renewables entered into a license agreement with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc., described as the largest asphalt marketer in North America. Under this agreement, Verde grants Ergon an exclusive, non‑transferable license in the United States, Canada, and Mexico to use, manufacture, commercialize, market, sell, and distribute products that incorporate Verde’s proprietary cold mix biochar asphalt emulsifying agent Verde V24. In return, Ergon agrees to purchase Verde V24 from Verde at a fixed price subject to specified adjustments.
The Ergon license has an initial ten‑year term with automatic ten‑year renewal periods, subject to termination conditions set out in the agreement. Verde also agrees to provide Ergon with a portion of its share of carbon removal credits generated from certain BioAsphalt™ surface materials that use biochar purchased from Verde. The license further grants Ergon rights to use Verde trademarks and to access technical services to support monitoring, reporting, and verification of sequestered carbon.
In addition to licensing, Verde and Ergon have entered into a securities purchase agreement under which Ergon made a strategic equity investment in Verde. According to an 8‑K filing, Ergon purchased common stock and a warrant for additional shares, with proceeds intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. The agreement also grants Ergon rights such as a board observer seat, certain registration rights, and participation rights in future financings, subject to conditions described in the filing.
Technology validation and testing
Verde’s technologies have been the subject of independent testing and validation described in its press releases. At the NCAT Test Track, Verde installed a proprietary cold‑mix biochar asphalt section designed to sequester carbon while providing adequate strength and flexibility for roadway use. Early observations from NCAT staff, as quoted by the company, indicate that the material has shown indicators of durability and resilience for low‑volume applications after exposure to heavy truck traffic.
Separate laboratory testing by NCAT evaluated a BioAsphalt™ cold recycling mix composed entirely of reclaimed asphalt pavement and biochar. The testing, conducted under ASTM and AASHTO standards for indirect tensile strength and moisture susceptibility, produced results that the company reports as exceeding typical thresholds for cold‑recycled materials. These findings are presented by Verde as evidence that its cold‑recycled, carbon‑sequestering mix can achieve strength, durability, and moisture resistance suitable for potential surface‑layer applications, not just base or intermediate layers.
Verde also notes that its specialized emulsion enables low‑temperature production with at least a stated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional binders, while allowing biochar integration and bonding with aggregates. These technical attributes underpin the company’s claims that its materials can function as scalable, low‑carbon alternatives to traditional paving materials.
Strategic collaborations and market positioning
Beyond Ergon and C‑Twelve, Verde’s public communications reference collaboration with organizations such as Oregon Biochar Solutions, Puro.earth, and GECA (which oversees certain carbon dioxide removal certifications). These relationships are framed around validating and certifying carbon removal performance, as well as advancing commercialization of biochar‑asphalt solutions.
In its press releases, Verde characterizes the road construction and asphalt sector as emission‑intensive and describes its mission as transforming this sector by embedding carbon sequestration into materials that are already widely used. The company highlights that a large share of U.S. roads are paved with asphalt and presents its technology as a way to convert this existing demand into a platform for carbon removal.
Verde’s communications also describe an intent to expand its licensing model to additional markets and regions and to pursue research and development aimed at new technologies and products that address environmental challenges. In connection with a filed registration statement on Form S‑1, the company has indicated plans for an underwritten public offering and has applied for a potential uplisting of its common stock to the Nasdaq Stock Market, with the listing conditioned on the closing of the offering.
Corporate governance and SEC reporting
Verde Resources files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Recent filings include a registration statement on Form S‑1, current reports on Form 8‑K describing material agreements and financing transactions, and a Form 12b‑25 notification of late filing for a quarterly report on Form 10‑Q. The Form 12b‑25 explains that additional time was needed to complete financial statements and related disclosures due to the review of certain subsequent transactions and notes anticipated changes in revenue and net loss compared with a prior period.
