DST and the Developer discussed the technical feasibility and interest, by the Developer, to evaluate the applicability of the GlassLock ProcessTM on arsenic bearing roaster dusts from the Project. The Project is host to approximately 2,500 tonnes of arsenic bearing dusts. The arsenic concentration within the dusts is known to be between 40 and 60%, mostly in the form of arsenic trioxide. The arsenical dusts also contain a gold content up to 10 g/t of gold. The gold recovery will be investigated, qualified, and quantified as a mean of offsetting the remediation costs associated with the stabilisation of the arsenic. As part of the Developer's environmental compliance plan/policy, the arsenic bearing dusts represent an important liability and there is a requirement for them to be safely and permanently remediated.

About
The Corporation is engaged in the development and commercialisation of environment-friendly technologies for the treatment of materials in the mining industry. Through the development of patented, proprietary processes, DST extracts precious and base metals from mineralised material, concentrates and tailings, while stabilising contaminants such as arsenic, which could not otherwise be extracted or stabilised with conventional processes because of metallurgical issues or environmental considerations.
