MineralRite Corporation (OTCQB: RITE) Returns From Successful Trip To Africa - MineralRite, a North American mineral processor focused on serving the growing and demanding needs of the vast mining industry, today is pleased to update on recent trip to Ghana, Africa. Kent Harmon, President of Goldfield International, a wholly owned entity of MineralRite and Don Ross, MineralRite's Mining expert, returned this month from a successful trip to Ghana, West Africa.  Ghana is the third largest producer of Gold in Africa, English being the official language and has a very mining friendly bureaucracy.

The sheer scale of small mining activity in Ghana and surround countries was staggering. There is an enormous need for technical upgrading of equipment and techniques. We want to support the indigenous mining effort as much as possible.  We are assessing the possibilities of creating a service and light manufacturing facility in Ghana, to support the volume of our equipment placements into Africa. "Kent Harmon said."  This trip was consistent with MineralRite's business model of capitalizing on the recent economic trend of rising mineral prices by processing services, equipment and sales for a fee or percentage.
