CEOBLOC, an advocacy platform founded by Creatd to unite public company CEOs in the fight for market fairness and micro-cap reform, has today announced that James Burgauer, CEO of MineralRite Corporation (OTC Pink: RITE), has officially joined CEOBLOC.
MineralRite Corporation is a Dallas-based technology and processing company focused on mineral extraction and asset recovery. The company specializes in environmentally responsible methods for reclaiming and processing precious metals from mining waste and industrial byproducts. Under Burgauer’s leadership, the company has undertaken a broader strategic repositioning aimed at building long-term shareholder value through improved operational focus and disciplined capital management.
CEOBLOC was established as a strategic response to the systemic issues affecting small-cap and OTC markets. These issues include naked short selling, algorithmic manipulation, toxic financing, and the persistent reputational bias that undermines shareholder value. Since its founding, CEOBLOC has grown into a collective voice for public company leadership seeking to regain control over their market presence and capital structures.
"MineralRite’s leadership and participation reflect the growing recognition among micro-cap executives that silence is no longer an option," said Jeremy Frommer, Founder of CEOBLOC and CEO of Creatd. "James brings a strong focus on transparency and corporate governance, which aligns closely with CEOBLOC’s core mission. We are pleased to welcome him to the coalition."
Burgauer has already contributed thoughtful perspectives to CEOBLOC’s internal discussions, offering creative approaches to corporate structure and debt strategy. "That kind of insight is exactly what defines the value of this coalition," added Frommer. "Our monthly calls are not just about advocacy. They are structured forums for strategic exchange, where members share resources, challenge assumptions, and pool ideas that support long-term value creation. CEOBLOC is as much a think tank as it is a movement, and James exemplifies the caliber of leadership we aim to attract."
The addition of MineralRite comes at a time of growing momentum behind CEOBLOC’s “Project 100.” This initiative aims to bring together more than 100 public companies committed to improving the infrastructure, visibility, and credibility of the micro-cap market. MineralRite joins a group of companies that includes Geopulse Exploration, Hollywall Entertainment, and Creatd, all united around the goal of building a more transparent and functional public market environment.
