BQE Water Inc. has entered into a services agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of a Canadian mining company for the staged implementation of the SART process at an operating gold mine located in Latin America. The driver for this project is the possible extension of the mine life in a cost- effective way that simultaneously minimizes the project's environmental footprint. In the first stage of the project, BQE Water will complete the SART plant engineering design for construction which will enable the client to confirm the construction budget and overall project economics. Subject to the client's approval in second quarter of 2019, the project will proceed to implementation. At full capacity, the SART plant is expected to treat up to 600 m 3/hr of leach solution, recycle approximately 6,700 metric tons of cyanide and recover approximately 3,400 metric tons of copper per year.
