Jan
Krasoń
The man who initiated the shale gas revolution in Poland
An outstanding Pole and world- famous geologist
A Pole who lived in the United States for over 40 years. World-renowned geologist. A man instrumental in discovering and developing many ore deposits - including copper, gold, silver, platinum, natural gas, oil, and various industrial minerals. Expert in evaluating mine wastes and flotation tailings. He has been associated with many mining, energy and fuel companies. In recent years, he was an initiator of shale gas exploration in Poland and joint management of KGHM's flotation tailings.
His visit to his homeland in 2005 turned out to be the beginning of a breakthrough for the Polish gas market. He came to Poland with a billionaire from Texas looking for methane deposits and found something much more valuable.
Dr. Jan Krasoń has worked and lectured in over 60 countries, authored and co-authored over 140 scientific publications, books, geological maps, bulletins and critical reviews. He has written about 300 unpublished and proprietary reports for companies and government agencies. He has received numerous awards, including the Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland from President Komorowski.

Libia - 1975
Ocena złoża soli - zarządzanie i nadzór nad wszystkimi fazami poszukiwań, w wyniku których odkryto 171 000 000 ton NaCl- sól złoża i 31 000 000 ton soli potasowych w solance.
The Polish blue gold
"The discovery of large shale gas deposits (...) would allow Poland to become independent from the importing of this essential energy source. Although unconventional shale gas has been extracted only recently (...) it has already become one of the basic raw materials for energy.
Although still not fully known, the results of exploratory drilling in Poland seem to be very positive, so I am delighted that I could still serve my homeland in this way." said Jan Krasoń.

Poland has 5.3 trillion m3 of shale gas
"In Europe, this is primarily due to the fear of potential competition from Polish gas. However, politicians are also scaring society with some adverse effects of this gas exploitation for the environment.
Personally, I think that the point is to create a climate for establishing regulations that will hinder the exploration of unconventional resources of blue fuel. Some people also want to prevent Poland from becoming independent of gas supplies from the East and from becoming a competitive supplier of this raw material to the European market."

Silesia's “Żelazny Most”
Polish mine tailings worth several hundred billion US$
Dr. Jan Krasoń's company, Geoexplorers International Inc., conducted research at its own expense on flotation tailings stored in the reservoirs of KGHM. The results were surprising. It turned out that the value of precious metals disposed of in the "Żelazny Most" tailings storage facility exceeds several times the value of metals currently being mined (copper and silver) by KGHM.
“Certain group of pseudo-authorities and “experts” with impunity enrich themselves on the property of all Poles”
Jan Krasoń enjoyed great respect in many parts of the world. He was hosted not only by international institutions or the largest mining companies but also by presidents, sheiks and kings, among others. In Poland, however, he was limited and underestimated. He overwhelmed many "scientists" with his knowledge.
The “Żelazny Most” reservoir contains about 1.5 billion tons of this waste. After calculation, it turns out that the estimated value of this waste exceeds 3 billion dollars (See: doc.6.83 - Tabela 8.21). Unfortunately, however, the matter is not being developed due to KGHM's unwillingness to cooperate.

* COMMENTS: The above amounts are estimates only
- The estimated amounts are based only on semi-quantitative analyses of a few hundred samples. More extensive research and analysis are required.
- The amounts represent the updated value of precious metals in tailings from the current/annual production of KGHM, based on previous analyses and calculations by Dr. Jan Krasoń.
- The amounts do not include other metals present in the tailings, e.g., copper, rhenium, rare earth elements (REE), etc.
- Value of precious metals adjusted according to New York Spot Precious Metal Prices (USD/troy ounce [troz]) as of January 8, 2021.
The fight for Jan Krasoń’s legacy
Ryszard A. Korol (a long-time friend and associate of Jan Krasoń) fulfills the duty of Poles and fights for the heritage of our fathers.
The technology
worth a fortune
After Dr. Krasoń's death, his best friend and companion took over the running of Geoexplorers International, Inc. Now he is fulfilling Dr. Jan Krasoń's last wish: Poland is the first to benefit from their unique and proprietary technology for concentrating and extracting metals from ore and mining wastes. The "6M-EX" technology can be described in 3 words: Innovative, Economical and Ecological. Companies around the world have offered many millions of dollars for it.

Krasoń wanted to
make it available to Poland first
Jan Krasoń wanted KGHM to participate financially in the implementation of this technology. "In 2011, Jan presented KGHM with a Joint Venture proposal, which they completely ignored. At the time, KGHM's CEO Herbert Wirth and the board of directors were very busy raising and transferring several billion dollars to "buy" the Canadian company Quadra. So, for a couple of months, I've been attempting to convince KGHM to recover these precious metals from waste together with Geoexplorers. It is supposed to be a Joint Venture - Geoexplorers - KGHM". - Ryszard A. Korol tells us.

“We are running out of patience, and stupidity must be stamped out...”
In an open letter, Ryszard A. Korol writes: "We have recently renewed negotiations with KGHM, but it is going very hard because many experts have to admit that they made wrong decisions for many years concerning flotation tailings (...) I have prepared many documents and letters to the Prime Minister and the President of KGHM concerning this matter. We have years of costly research behind us. Meanwhile, many world experts and well-known personalities are waiting for the right time to support us and criticize KGHM, not only in the Polish press but also abroad."

Did you know…
See all achievements
Dr. Jan Krasoń has explored, among others: copper, gold, silver, platinum and diamond deposits in more than 60 countries.
In the USA, during Jimmy Carter's presidency, it was said that there was enough oil and gas for 50-100 years. Jan Krasoń was one of the few geologists who noted that the USA had oil and gas for hundreds (or even thousands) of years if only they would start looking for them. And they did!
His last will was that his remains be laid to rest in Poland.
Dr. Krasoń has conducted research, among others, for Muruntau, the world's largest gold mine in Uzbekistan.
He advised KGHM against purchasing "Sierra Gorda" in Chile. Instead, they threw away billions of dollars to buy, as he often stated, "a hole in the desert."
At the World Geological Congress in Kyoto, Japan, August 24-September 3, 1992, Jan Krason was hailed as "The Greatest Man in Japan" after he told them that the Japanese had enormous amounts of gas, they just needed to invest in drilling. And they did!
He predicted earthquakes in Haiti.
For more than 20 years, the authorities forbade him to enter Poland, but since 1984 he was repeatedly invited and honored by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
He discovered that Poland is a country with gigantic deposits of shale gas.
He was not allowed into the country for his own father's funeral.
"I am personally grateful to dr. Jan Krasoń, as in the third year of his illness he invited me to the United States. There we had wonderful trips to the Rocky Mountains...
and we visited significant places mentioned in lectures by Prof. Józef Zwierzycki. With the death of dr. Jan Krasoń, we have lost one of Poland's leading geologists, an inherent disciple of Prof. Józef Zwierzycki, whose motto was "it is an honor to be Polish". Jan Krasoń deserved this honor."
prof. Michał P. Mierzejewski
"Very few people in our local community are aware that the town of Żmigród can boast of such a famous individual and an outstanding mind in the world of geology as Dr. Jan Krasoń.
It is unbelievable that the man coming from our environment is so valuable for Poland and the entire world. Undoubtedly, his discovery of shale gas deposits in Poland has made him a new National Hero in the eyes of many."
Anna Kalenkiewicz
"Visiting Poland two years ago, he showed the shortcomings of natural resource policy and the easy distribution of exploration concessions more for speculation than for exploration of the shale opportunity.
He invited me to two breakfasts and worried that there was no interest in the country for his private geological archives that he had collected during his life outside Poland."
Andrzej Budzyk
"His numerous visits to the Capital of Polish Copper - Lubin on the occasion of scientific and technical conferences or important anniversaries of Polish copper ore mining, or during friendly meetings,
were very creative, full of ideas and new concepts. We will miss Jan, especially the geologists and old friends from the 1960s, from the beginnings of Great Polish Copper."
prof. Stanisław Downorowicz, Editor-in-Chief of "Konsulting Polski"
"He was one of the world's greatest geologists, the discoverer of shale gas in Poland and hundreds of other breakthrough discoveries on all continents.
A genius, respected by the world's greatest authorities: kings, presidents, sheiks, and above all, scientists.
A man-inspiration who showed how you can reach the heights of your dreams - even when you start at the bottom, in a country destroyed by the war. He was a brave warrior, always faithful to Poland and its authentic values, one of the greatest patriots".
Grzegorz Fryc, representative of Polish American activists of the young generation
