VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (the “Company “or “EnviroLeach”), (CSE:ETI) (OTCQB:EVLLF) (FSE:7N2). is pleased to provide the following corporate update:
Update on Operations:
Our unique, environmentally friendly formulas and processes for the extraction of precious metals from conventional mining processes and electronic waste (E-Waste) continues to receive great attention and accolades worldwide. We have received requests from hundreds of mining and recycling companies around the world, expressing interest in our Eco-friendly alternatives to the current extraction methods used today.
Our E-Waste division continues with the advanced pilot line development, installation and testing at the Jabil facility in Memphis. We have successfully demonstrated the scalability and re-usability of our non-toxic formula, with over 60 consecutive pilot-scale uses on numerous types of printed circuit board feed material with no effluent or waste water.
The installation and testing phases have been delayed due to higher than anticipated metal content in some of the pilot plant feed stock which adversely affects subsequent downstream processes such as agitation, pumping and filtration. We have determined the necessary modifications to the line and are currently installing new equipment to resolve these outstanding issues.
Duane Nelson, President and CEO, states; “We are very pleased with the leach performance in the pilot plant. Mechanical challenges are common in the development of any new process, especially when the feed material is highly variable. We are confident that, based on the latest lab results and analysis, these new modifications and enhancements will not only significantly improve the overall performance but will also surpass the recovery rates and economics of the original process”. We fully expect that the pilot plant will be operating at the designed specifications once the modifications have been completed”.
The Company’s mining division continues to be very active with the testing of numerous ores and concentrates for several of the world’s largest gold producers. We continue to receive numerous inquiries from the mining sector globally. We are also in discussions with several major gold producers for the development of pilot scale test facilities.
Additional Team Members:
As we continue to expand the EnviroLeach brand, two key positions have now been filled.
Todd Beavis joins us as our new Vice President, Corporate Development. Todd has an extensive experience in the wholesale and retail electronics and consumer goods industries and is known for his ability to cultivate and build authentic trusting relationships which are important as we look to expand in North America and across the globe.
Alex Lum, P.Eng has joined EnviroLeach as Senior Process Engineer and has over 18 Years of experience working on metallurgical analysis, process development, research and detailed laboratory test work.
