BacTech Environmental Corporation provided update on its operations. Recent Highlights: Two potential Ponce Enriquez-area processing plant sites now identified: due diligence and negotiations underway Promising ALS bioleach interim test results show bacteria are resilient to high levels of Arsenic. Strong capital position achieved with recent warrants and options exercised. Exceptional gold recoveries of 99.4% and 100% for prospective plant feeds validated (announced April 21, 2021) through ongoing ALS diagnostic test work. Ponce Enriquez Bioleaching Project Status: BacTech's plan is to build a 50 tpd bioleach plant capable of treating high gold/arsenic material in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. A 50 tpd plant, processing 1.5 ounces of gold per tonne of feed, would produce approximately 26,000 ounces per year. Plant designs are modular and can be expanded without affecting ongoing production. Concurrent with the diagnostic test work, the bioleach test work, indicating favourable results to-date, continues at ALS Labs in Perth under Dr. Paul Miller's guidance. The final results will provide input to the plant design criteria and expectations of process economics. Additional Ponce Enriquez milestones include: Independent Feasibility Study (following bioleach work completion). Expected to commence this Summer, taking approximately three months Plant Financing will be finalized following the completion of the Feasibility Study. BacTech intends to review all funding options available to consider and maximize shareholder value Plant Design and Equipment Procurement will also be pursued following the Feasibility Study Plant Construction - target start in first quarter of 2022. Colombia Tailings Projects: BacTech is actively investigating a high-grade tailings project near Medellin, Colombia with Metaltec LLC. MetalTec, based in Naples, Florida, operates an alluvial mine in Colombia as well as brokering gold produced by small miners. BacTech and MetalTec LLC have agreed to conduct a third-party sampling program to get a better understanding of the grade as well as metal distribution in the tailings. Access to the country remains limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, but the Company intends to pursue this opportunity once it becomes safe and pandemic risks can be properly assessed and mitigated. A second gold/silver tailings opportunity in Columbia has also now been identified. The common theme outside of gold/silver is arsenic - ideal for BacTech operations to take hold.
