Standard Metals Processing, Inc. Creates Solar Power Subsidiary Company

TONOPAH, Nev., Dec. 13, 2013

According to Sharon Ullman, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Standard Metals Processing, Inc., "there are many factors that have led us to conclude that the opportunity to develop a renewable energy business including a solar power business can be developed on the acreage we own that is otherwise unnecessary for our primary milling services activities.  Through the creation of Standard Renewable Energy, Inc. we now have a structure that can house the development of any such initiatives including possibly facilitating the financing of renewable energy projects that potentially can benefit all of our shareholders."
