EXECUTIVE SUMARY
ALBARIT was develop with the main purpose of creating a token destined to
market the barite mineral (barium sulphate). We are pleased to be able to
introduce this opportunity to oil service companies, investors and people in
general willing to be part of the token ALBARIT investor community. This
investment offer represents a decentralized investment proposal through the
ALBARIT token for exploitation, processing and to market the barite mineral
with huge importance within oil extraction operations.
ALBARIT is betting to be the long-term leader in the Gulf of Mexico region in
the supply of refined barite in order to meet the growing demand of this mineral
for drilling fluids over the next 20 years.
In recent years, the drop in international prices of crude has affected the oil sector
and in particular, the Gulf of Mexico region, the oil and gas industry of this
region has a huge potential for latent reserves that can lead to an improvement
in current and future crude production.
The Gulf of Mexico region has very interesting oil & gas resources, which are
located in several locations and regions of the Gulf of Mexico, from terrestrial
fields to shallow waters, deep waters and ultra-deep waters. At the time of
writing, particularly in Mexico, there are 107 oil contracts awarded through
bidding processes to national and international companies for the exploration
and extraction of hydrocarbons, which are part of the investment processes in
Mexico since 2015 to date.
Of the 107 contracts achieved, thirty percent are in shallow water; while 25
percent are deep-water and forty-five percent are in land-based fields. In total,
14 international public tenders have carried out in which 73 companies from 20
countries have participated.
ALBARIT is a token that will allow, through blockchain technology and through
the support of Ethereum's smart contracts to process and market barite from each
mine previously added to ALBARIT's smart contract.
The smart contract under the ERC20 standard, in a flexible and dynamic way,
will allow the addition of barite mines, as added nodes, from different locations
worldwide, initially from Mexico locations and others Central America
countries, which will gradually allow add tokens to the ALBARIT portfolio until
the 170 million ALBARIT tokens have sold.

ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
As part of the investment warranty, the investing partners will have the
opportunity to exchange the ALBARIT tokens from their wallet by its equivalent
in tons of barite mineral. The token exchange might be made beginning on May
9th, 2020. The goal of this exchange phase on the part of ALBARIT is precisely
to offer the investment partners, trading options of the tokens acquired.
Depending on the production and the refining process of the barite, could be
reduced the date indicated.
The value defined for each ALBARIT token is one US dollar (1.00 USD / token
ALBARIT), while the ALBARIT project includes in the initial coin offering
(ICO) four phases, as described below:
Phase 1. ALBARIT Private Sale
Phase 2. ALBARIT Pre-Sale
Phase 3. Pre-ICO ALBARIT
Phase 4. ICO ALBARIT
As part of the initial coin offering, each phase shows a price discount on the
purchase of tokens ALBARIT as indicated:
Private Sale, 37% discount.
Pre-Sale 35% discount.
Pre-ICO 32% discount.
ICO 30% discount.
This project has planned to reach 20 years in order to cover the milling of the
total of the barite mineral. Depending on the token supply and demand, it is
possible that the number of tokens estimated by ALBARIT will be exhausted
before the time limit, if this happens; the ALBARIT smart contract is flexible
and allows the addition of a new number of tokens.
Once the period of the project is close to expire, it will be evaluated in order to
decide if it is necessary to create a new token to replace the original ALBARIT
token through a hardfork. This instrument is a proper way to extend the
ALBARIT project over the twenty-year’s period.
This ICO sale seeks to raise funds to speed up the development of the building
project of two barite-processing plants in, beginning with the extraction of barite
mineral from “Cardoso” and “Punta al Cielo” mines and then adding new mines
to the project through the ALBARIT smart contract.
The first phase of quarrying operations starts with Cardoso and Punta al Cielo
mines. Cardoso mine is part of the assets of MARACO Company. These mines
6 | P a g e
ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
belong to the first ALBARIT partners that will be add to the ALBARIT project.
ALBARIT will trade the refined barite mineral through the ALBARIT tokens.
In addition, the extraction, storage and logistics operations from these mines to
the barite processing plants, that will be located in the states of Tabasco (Paraiso
city) and Coahuila (Viesca town) in Mexico, will be in charge of MARACO
Company.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Considering as a reference the analysis of the information described in this
technical document, there are several facts to consider in the success of
ALBARIT project:
The significant growth in demand for oil and gas, driven by the continuous
increase in energy needs worldwide and due the energy restructuring of Mexico,
will boost for sure the demand of drilling muds in the near future of the Gulf of
Mexico region, which will generate a considerable increase in commercial
opportunities for the barite mineral. This will guarantee the position of the
drilling muds in the oil and gas services as the leading application area for the
barite mineral during the project period.
The barite demand in the United States is around 700,000 tons of unrefined barite
per year and is been used about 97% of barite as filler in fluids used in drilling
of oil and natural gas wells. Additionally, by the end of 2015, destination of
Mexican exports were United States, 77%; and Other Countries, 23%. This
scenario offers an excellent business opportunity for the ALBARIT project
focused towards the United States.
Additionally, it is important to highlight that, Chinese and India market
contribute 87% of barite imports by States United, therefore, it is noticed an
excellent opportunity to supply the United States market with a high quality
product according to the international standards.
In Chinese prices a premium of approximately 15% applies to the specific
Gravity (SG) 4.2 compared to the specific Gravity (SG) 4.1. There is also a
variation in the Indian price FOB being about 10% higher than China. The
requirement´s quality of barite at the Mexico Gulf region is over 4.2 g / ml and
ALBARIT will ensure a product within the standards indicated in the Mexican
and API standard.
7 | P a g e
ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
Get notice that, the oil contracts assigned have a closing deadline between 25
and 35 years, therefore, the activity period of the ALBARIT project (twenty
continuous years) is within the time of these contracts, consequently, it is assure
initially a region market for the supply of the barite used for the drilling mud
formulating.
An associated investment of approximately 257 billion dollars had estimated for
the universe of contracts tendered, including in this amount those corresponding
to electricity and gas pipeline projects, as part of Mexico energy strategy for the
next 25 to 35 years. The indicated manifests a strategy of gradual growth. The
International Energy Agency predicts that, in a few years, 60% of hydrocarbon
production will come from offshore projects. Due to the mentioned above, it has
expected that the demand and requirements of processed and certified barite
under national and international standards for oil drilling fluids will face a
gradual growth due to the exploration and production activities included in the
execution plans of different projects associated with the different contracts,
which are already in execution.
Additionally, owing to the geographical location of the barite processing plant
facilities which will operate in the port city of Paraiso, state of Tabasco, it is
considered the possibility of dispatching refined barite by sea to the oil area of
the middle east countries generating new business opportunities.
To processing barite mineral extracted from each mine that will be part of the
ALBARIT smart contract, there will be two Mineral Processing Plants (MPP) to
carry out the milling of the barite. These barite-processing facilities will be
located in the states of Tabasco and Coahuila, Mexico and will have a maximum
estimated capacity to process up to five thousand tons of barite mineral per
month each (5,000 tons/month). The refined barite might have as natural markets
the United States and the Gulf of Mexico region due the ALBARIT refined barite
density quality.

ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Currently, and after the global fall in oil prices, the oil economy has begun a
period of global recovery; additionally, there are structural and operational
changes in the Mexico energy industry and particularly, in the oil and gas
industries, generating new opportunities for local and foreign investment, which
will ultimately affect the medium and long-term oil exploration and extraction.
Due to the mentioned above and considering that the local barite production for
drilling fluids does not satisfy the oil & gas demand in the Gulf of Mexico and
in the united states region, it is necessary to create a strategy of gradual growth
in the refined barite production to supply the demand of this mineral.
This new scenery in the local and regional oil market will generate a demand in
the drilling muds requirements so, it is important to remark that the barite
production led by ALBARIT project under the standards of the worldwide oil
industry will satisfy the regional market requirements to attend the demand for
services during the next decades.
VISION
Considering the current oil & gas potential in the Gulf of Mexico region
including the United States region and considering the balance of 107 awarded
oil contracts through bidding processes made in Mexico, there is an ideal
scenario of gradual growth supply of drilling muds demand for oil services in
the next years. As part of the investment process in Mexico, from 2015 to date,
the estimated investment for these projects is approximately USD 257 billion, in
a time frame within 25 and 35 years. Additionally, there are other attractive
markets for the commercialization of refined barite, such as those related to the
hydrocarbon sector in the region of the Middle East countries.
BUSINESS MODEL
The ALBARIT business model has developed with the main purpose of creating
a token destined to the commercialization of barite mineral (barium sulphate,
BaSO4).
The ERC-20 is a technical standard used as a decentralized platform by
ALBARIT software development team to develop and running the smart
10 | P a g e
ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
contract on the Ethereum blockchain platform for the creation of the ALBARIT
tokens.
The ALBARIT tokens represent the digital asset, then these tokens represent the
tangible asset "barite mineral", and the defined equivalence belongs to the
following exchange scheme:
170 ALBARIT tokens = 1 Ton of barite processed
The ALBARIT project has defined the creation of one hundred and seventy
million (170,000,000) of ALBARIT tokens or ALBs using blockchain
technology under Ethereum protocol, which are equivalent to one million tons
(1,000,000) of refined barite.
ALBARIT uses blockchain technology under ERC-20 Ethereum protocol
This project has been planned to reach 20 years in order to cover the milling of
the total of the barite mineral. Depending on the token supply and demand, it is
possible that the number of tokens estimated by ALBARIT will be exhausted
before the time limit, if this happens; the ALBARIT smart contract is flexible
and allows specified the addition of a new number of tokens.
The project starts with the extraction and processing/refining of barite mineral
from any of the barite mines under the ALBARIT Smart Contract. As illustrated
in the following figure, using the blockchain platform and the ERC-20 standard
from Ethereum protocol, the ALBARIT smart contract add barite mines to the
11 | P a g e
ALBARIT whitepaper v1.07 ALBARIT
ALBARIT token project. Each mine will be subject to the terms and conditions
of ALBARIT and the tokens equivalent to the amount of tons that has offered
for each mine in particular will be included in the token wallet of the project.
The ALBARIT decentralized model add barite mines into the Smart Contract

The processing of the barite mineral ends with storage and packaging of the
barite refined in bags of 50 kilograms otherwise, the barite will shipped in bulk
per ton. Each ton of mineral refined corresponds to 170 ALBARIT tokens.
The refined barite will be ready for shipment at the facilities of the ALBARIT
processing plant (F.O.B. Mill), which will be located in the port city of Paraiso,
Tabasco State, Mexico and in the second one facilities located in Coahuila state.
The following figure shows the ALBARIT token investment process:

WHAT IS BARITE?
The barite (barytes) is naturally-occurring barium sulphate (BaSO4) and is the
predominant barium mineral used for industrial purposes. Barium, atomic
number 56, derives its name from Greek word "barys" which means "heavy".
The barite also known as barite, this name is in response to barite's high specific
gravity of 4.5, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. The barite’s high
density and chemical inertness makes it an ideal mineral for many industrial
applications.
The barite mainly used for its high specific gravity of 4.50 g/cm3, in addition to
its chemical and physical inertness, relative softness and very low solubility. Its
Mohs hardness is 3.0 to 3.5. Barite is found in a variety of colors including
yellow, brown, white, blue, gray, or even colorless, typically has a vitreous to
pearly luster.
The barite is found in conjunction with both metallic and nonmetallic mineral
deposits. To be economically viable for extraction, barite usually needs to be
the predominant material in a deposit. Types of deposits in which it normally is
found include vein, residual, and bedded. Vein and residual deposits are
hydrothermal origin, while bedded deposits are sedimentary.
Major deposits are located in the United States, Canada, China, Mexico and
others countries located in Central America such as Guatemala close to Mexico.

In Mexico, barite deposits have found in Hermosillo, Monterrey, Durango,
Chiapas and Puebla States.
USES AND APPLICATIONS OF BARITE
Drilling Industry: Is used the overwhelming majority of extracted barite by
petroleum industry as a weighting material in formulation of drilling mud. Barite
increases the hydrostatic pressure of the drilling mud allowing it compensate for
high-pressure zones experienced during drilling. Softness of this mineral also
prevents it from damaging drilling tools during drilling and enables it to serve as
a lubricant.
Medical Industry: An application where many people have heard of barite is
within the medical field. A high-purity form of barite is used in gastrointestinal
tract where its density prevents x-ray penetration, thus is visible on an x-ray.
The outline of gastrointestinal tract thus becomes visible allowing the
determination of normal and abnormal anatomy.
Other Uses: Barite is also used in a wide variety of other applications including
plastics, clutch pads, rubber mud flaps, mold release compounds, radiation
shielding, television and computer monitors, sound-deadening material in
automobiles, traffic cones, brake linings, paint and golf balls.
DRILLING GRADE BARITE
The American Petroleum Institute (API) introduced the barite grade in August
2010.

In 2015, in the United States, the barite market for grinding was around 700,000
tons of unrefined barite, worth 91 million dollars. The exposed above, represents
an important increase of 5.5% in the production level if it is compared to 2014.
Most of the production comes from four large mines in Nevada, followed by a
smaller production volume coming from a single mine in Georgia.
In 2015, about 2.4 million tons of barite (composed of production and imports),
was sold by the companies that crush and grind this mineral and operate in eight
states of the country.
It is being used about 97% of barite sold in the United States as filler in fluids
used in drilling of oil and natural gas wells. The barite is refined in Nevada and
subsequently sold to the drilling companies in the center and west of the United
States.
