$BBCEF MOU to fund Ecuador plant! https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/Bccef/news/story?e&id=1787214
BacTech Environmental Corporation (βBacTechβ or the βCompanyβ) (CSE:BAC) (CNSX:BAC.CN) (OTC:BCCEF)today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (βMoUβ) with a private equity group in Europe to fully fund a proposed bioleach plant in Ecuador.
The MoU, subject to completion of due diligence, outlines how a private group based in Europe (βEuro Groupβ) can obtain a 50% interest in BacTechβs proposed bioleach plant in exchange for providing 100% of the necessary financing. The Euro Group has required anonymity at this stage of the process with BacTech. The MoU outlines an investment to be made by purchasing shares in BacTechβs 100% owned Ecuador subsidiary. The agreement is subject to completion of the groupβs due diligence and subsequently BacTech producing suitable bioleach test results on material from Ponce Enriquez.
βObviously this is a big step forward for us. We always knew the first plant would be the toughest to finance so this agreement provides us with some comfort going forward. If the bioleach results are positive, both parties will then move to execute a Joint Venture agreement (βJVβ) to complete the project. The project will be carried out in BacTechβs subsidiary in Ecuador thereby limiting the dilution in the parent, public company,β said Ross Orr President and CEO of BacTech.
The proposed investments will be made in the following fashion.
1. US$100,000 to earn 5.8% of the subsidiary. The funds will be earmarked for the completion of the bioleach test work at ALS Labs in Perth, Australia under the guidance of Dr. Paul Miller. In the event of an unsuccessful bioleach test program, the Euro Group can convert their investment to BacTech common shares at this stage.
2. US$300,000 to earn an additional 10.3% of the subsidiary. The funds will be used to complete a Feasibility Study and begin the process to obtain the necessary permits from the government.
3. US$300,000 to earn an additional 7.5% of the subsidiary. The funds will finance detailed engineering using the flow chart established from the bioleach results.
4. Upon arranging the financing for the plant construction, Euro Group will earn an additional 26.4% bringing their total ownership to 50% of the subsidiary.
Once the due diligence is completed and the first payment of US$100,000 has been made, the bioleach test work will begin at ALS Labs in Perth, Australia under the guidance of BacTechβs Dr. Paul Miller.
BacTech recently negotiated with the owners of 6 mines to collect concentrate samples from mines in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. Assay and metallurgy results for the concentrates were press released on Dec 2, 2020 and confirmed the high-grade gold values of the concentrates. In addition, the assays revealed high levels of arsenic in the concentrates. It is the combination ofthese values that has attracted the Company to Ponce Enriquez given bioleaching not only liberates gold from refractory ore but also produces a stable ferric arsenate from the arsenic.
In summary, BacTech is investigating the prospects of a build/own/operate bioleach facility to be based in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. The selection of Ponce Enriquez is driven by the extremely high levels of arsenic that is associated with gold in the +90 small mines in the area which attract high penalties in smelting. Presently, the miners are forced to sell their production at reduced prices to Asian buyers due to the high arsenic values in the concentrates and accept lower financial returns. BacTech proposes to pay better prices for the minersβ material, by eliminating penalties for arsenic, and process higher grade gold to reduce overall refining costs.Given the current price of gold, BacTech believes, through its internal modelling, that the plant will be economically viable.
This concept can be repeated in areas of Peru, Colombia and Central America where arsenic is known to exist alongside gold mining.

BacTech Receives Assay Results of Up to 2.24 Oz Gold Per Tonne
(via TheNewswire)
Toronto, Canada βTheNewswire -December 3, 2020
BacTech Environmental Corporation(OTC:BCCEF) (CSE:BAC)(CNSX:BAC.CN)(βBacTech or the Companyβ) today announced the assay results for the six concentrate samples collected from small mine producers in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. The area is known for its production of gold rich arsenopyrite material. The assay work was conducted by ALS Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada.
βThe results were all relatively close to the stated grades provided by the miners at the time we collected the samples with a single exception, the reason for which is being investigated.
βNow that we have confirmed the positive magnitudes, with respect to gold and arsenic values, we can begin the next phase of the project which will be the bioleach test work. Concentrate will be shipped to Perth, Australia where the test work will be conducted at ALSβ metallurgical laboratory under the guidance of BacTechβs Dr. Paul Miller. A full report of the test work will be available in 5-6 months from the onset of the test program,β concluded Orr.

*This sample reported 9.64% copper in concentrate
**It is assumed that sample #4 was incorrectly submitted as tailings material given the difference in gold value vs the other samples submitted for assay.
Sample #2 reported copper values of 9.64%. With the recent resurgence in the price of copper an investigation will be conducted to see if a copper by-product can be produced for sale. The most likely conclusion, with respect to the presence of copper, would be that the material is enargite. BacTech is considering shipping this material to Laurentian University to conduct a desk top study similar to the test program conducted on the original mineral samples from Ecuador. The test work would determine the ability of bioleaching to produce both gold and copper metal.
An interesting aspect of the mineral processing in Ponce Enriquez has been identified by BacTechβs Bernardo Brito. Mr. Brito has been in active discussions with various mines sourcingconcentrate for test work. A common theme of processing has emerged with respect to suppressing arsenic in the floating of concentrates to reduce the arsenic content and the associated penalties imposed by Asian smelters. This has the consequence of also suppressing gold recovery as the amount of gold that reports to the concentrate is below what normal flotation methods would provide. BacTechβs approach of not charging penalties on arsenic will allow the miner to produce a higher grade of gold concentrate. BacTechβs bioleach technology is highly amenable to treating concentrates with very high arsenic contents and therefore does not have the same constraint as producing concentrates for smelting.
βWhat we are seeing are the miners trying to tailor their production to lower the arsenic they deliver in the concentrates. This leads to lower gold grades in the concentrates and less value to the miner. We hope to change this by encouraging them to not worry about the arsenic grade and focus on gold recovery,β added Orr.
The bioleach test work to be conducted in Perth will involve three separate tests. Two samples of the material that were assayed in Vancouver at ALS had already been contacted with cyanide by the miner to recover the gold that was not refractory. As high levels of residual cyanide compounds can be detrimental to the bacteria, these two sample will be subjected to a simple pre-treatment process before any bioleach test work is started. The third test will use a composite of samples which have not previously been subjected to cyanidation. From the reported samples it is recommended that bioleach test work be undertaken on samples #1, #3 and #5. According to assay records of the mine the magnitude of gold in sample #4 should be much higher. Investigations will be pursued to evaluate the reasons for this anomaly.
With respect to other projects being pursued by BacTech , the Company is still awaiting the reopening of travel within Colombia . When access is approved BacTech and MetalTec will engage a third-party for sampling of the gold/platinum tailings that was announced by BacTech on August 10, 2020.
In summary, BacTech is investigating the prospects of a build/own/operate bioleach facility to be based in Ponce Enriquez, Ecuador. The selection of Ponce Enriquez is driven by the extremely high levels of arsenic that is associated with gold in the +90 small mines in the area which attract high penalties in smelting . Presently, the miners are forced to sell their production at reduced prices to Asian buyers due to the high arsenic values in the concentrates and accept lower financial returns. BacTech proposes to pay better prices for the minersβ material, by eliminating penalties for arsenic, and process higher grade gold to reduce overall refining costs. This concept can be repeated in areas of Peru, Colombia and Central America where arsenic is known to exist alongside gold mining.
