EnviroLeach Receives Independent Analysis by SGS on High-Grade Samples


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (the “Company “or “EnviroLeach”), (CSE: ETI) (OTCQB: EVLLF) (7N2: FSE) is pleased to report independent analytical results from SGS, a world leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. The research work was commissioned by EnviroLeach as part of their enhanced third party, independent validation program.

The first series of leach tests were conducted on high-grade samples, including gravity concentrate tails and flotation concentrates. Tests on oxidized material generated from autoclaving and roasting achieved over 94% within 2 hours. The results, using the EnviroLeach formulas, indicate that gold recoveries of over 85% were achieved on the table tails within 24 hours and over 90% recoveries from Flotation Concentrate within 24 hours. The tests were performed using the EnviroLeach based formulas with no sample related formula optimization. A summary of the results is presented below.
