“We are pleased to report that sales for this first quarter of 2018 have already surpassed those for the year ended December 31, 2017.  Sales and operations are steadily improving and we are slowly building a customer base with 67% of the orders having come from existing customers that have tried and tested our products.  Although, the slow rates of adoption for innovative products in the agricultural industry have been and continue to be an important challenge, moving forward, we are gaining an in-depth understanding of the process and we expect to build on these early adopters by adding industry leaders to our client base. Furthermore, we are excited by the renewed interest in the EA1 Dust Supressant following Earth Alive’s participation at the live event of #DisruptMining, during the PDAC, where Earth Alive had the unique opportunity to connect with a large audience of mining industry executives,  many of whom where surprised by EA1’s simple, environmentally friendly solution to several challenges faced by today’s mining operations. We are and will continue to develop this market as well.” stated Michael Warren, the President & Chief Executive Officer.
