Mineworx Begins Pilot Plant Operations
Edmonton, AB, Canada – April 06, 2022 – Mineworx Technologies Ltd., (the "Company" or "Mineworx") (TSXV: MWX) (OTCQB: MWXRF) (FSE: YRS WKN: A2DSW3) is pleased to announce that the Company is commencing operations in its pilot plant located in Johnson City, Tennessee as all building and equipment permit approvals have been obtained.
All systems and new components are undergoing testing protocols to ensure they are functioning as per specifications and meeting all safety requirements. Various types of feedstocks from inventory will then begin to be processed.
This Process Optimization phase will confirm the data already generated during the initial trials undertaken in Vancouver during 2021 and is required for the completion of the Commercial Plant design. Increased material thru puts will supply the necessary information for efficient operations of a Commercial Plant including potential system bottlenecks and precious metal recoveries.
Process Optimization is basically fine tuning the various phases of the hydrometallurgical process from solution saturation, to multiple filtration steps which includes the recovery of the precious metals to finally recycling the solution to begin repeating the process again. The objective is to ensure each phase is performing as efficiently and quickly as possible in order to maximize the overall profitability of the Commercial Plant.
A Tennessee based engineering and consulting firm, specializing in chemical plant design/operations, has been selected to work with the Company in completing the Commercial Plant design. Work is already underway and can now be expedited with the commencement of operations.
“We have been preparing for this for some time. Equipment and infrastructure for present needs have been addressed as well as contingency plans for additional future growth requirements,” Ben Davis, CEO, Davis Recycling.
Greg Pendura, President and CEO stated, “this is extremely exciting for the company and its shareholders. We can now focus on the completion of the Commercial Plant design and begin the preparation for the fabrication and construction of the facility.”
