With the official announcement by OTC Markets on January 17, Empire Diversified Energy Corporation (OTCQB: MPIR) was officially uplisted from a “Pink Sheet” listing to a fully-audited company on the OTCQB.

- Empire agreed to a schedule of financing terms, and made a cash deposit for its first asset acquisition—the DTE Dickerson site in Cadiz, Ohio.The site is a formerly operating coal mine, with approximately 3 million tons of refuse coal on-site.Once thought to be refuse, the coal “fines” will now be “screened” and sold in the currently surging coal market;
- Empire has received a binding purchase order from Red Hill Resources LLC (Kentucky) for up to 20,000 tons of this material per month;
- Empire has purchased and has taken delivery of all the necessary heavy equipment, and has built out the regulatory infrastructure, and the human services necessary for employees at the site;
Frank Rosso, the company Chief Executive Officer, has indicated that the operations at the Cadiz, Ohio is now underway.
