IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 12, 2012) - Vivakor, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ VIVK ]) announced today its corporate strategy regarding its assets under development and its asset acquisition strategy. 

CEO and Chairman Matt Nicosia added, "Vivakor has constantly been about developing technologies that can increase the length and quality of life. Over the past years the Company has made great strides in such development and now turns its focus to commercialization. The Company will continue to focus on up and coming technologies, but only where such technologies can be brought to market within a six month window from time of acquisition. The Company has made great strides in alternative energy and looks forward to acquiring further assets in this area that will increase the length and quality of life through reduction of harmful gasses and waste that continue to ruin our environment. Additionally the Company will focus on asset acquisitions that are backed and leveraged at least to a ten to one ratio for the Company. Through this process the Company expects to build a large asset base of technologies, distribution channels and leverageable assets that will have revenue streams in the form of royalties and or other distributions. Operational overhead will be very low as all efforts and cash will be used to acquire such assets and drive direct royalties and distributions for the Company. Our goal is not to spend dollars on research and development, but to increase our balance sheet and the value of the assets. The Company plans to expand its distribution of current technology, and immediately expand into alternative energy which is based on precious metal resources."
