BAC BacTech Environmental Corporation

BacTech Environmental Corporation ("BEC" or the "Company") (CNSX:BAC)(OTC:BCCEF)
(WKN:A1H4TY) today announced the assay results of the composite sample taken in
May of this year from stored samples from the former mill of Telamayu. The
Telamayu tailing site is 1 of 26 sites identified by the Bolivian government for
remediation, and the Bolivian government advised the Company it is the only one,
to date, to have had a systematic sampling program.


Silver and copper values were 282 g/t and 1.7% respectively, illustrating the
high-grade nature of the tailings. This compares favorably with COMIBOL's
results from 2005, having reported 258 g/t Ag and 1.05% Cu. COMIBOL is the
Corporacion Minera de Bolivia, the state-owned mining company of Bolivia. In
addition, sulphide values were over 5%, which would be responsible for the acid
drainage coming from the tailings.


The assay work on the composite sample was conducted by Inspectorate Exploration
and Mining Services Ltd. ("Inspectorate"), in Vancouver, Canada. The composite
sample was taken from over 2,000 bags of samples collected in 2005 by COMIBOL.
The COMIBOL sampling program, included five 2-meter by 2-meter wells that were
hand dug from surface to depths ranging from 8 to 10 meters. The sample material
obtained by COMIBOL was bagged at 1-meter intervals and stored in the old
flotation building. The composite sample was bagged, sealed at the Telamayu mill
and then shipped to Lima, Peru by SGS Bolivia S.A. ("SGS"), and subsequently
transferred to Inspectorate for assaying. A representative of SGS supervised
this sampling program. The Company has not investigated or verified the sampling
program conducted by, or the assay results produced by, COMIBOL.


COMIBOL advised that the tailings were generated by a centralized milling
operation that treated material from 2 local mines, namely Animas and Seven
Suyos. At a site visit in February 2012 by Ross Orr, President of the Company,
he observed that there is still infrastructure at Telamayu, including an
operating rail line, a power substation, a reliable water source and a plant
housing that could possibly be used to house flotation circuits.


COMIBOL has estimated that there are approximately 2.3M tonnes of tailings
attributable to the above assay results, and across the river is an additional
3M tonnes of tailings from the same source, but no work has been initiated there
at this time. In addition, there are 2 additional tailings sites within 50 km
that could be investigated in future. 


BacTech will now conduct metallurgical testing to determine the process for the
recoveries of silver and copper. If an acceptable flotation concentrate can be
generated, it would then be subjected to bioleach test work to address the
refractory nature of the material.

President of Operations of BacTech Manitoba Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of

BacTech profile

BacTech Environmental Corporation holds the perpetual, exclusive, royalty-free
rights to use the patented BACOX bioleaching technology for the reclamation of
tailings and mining waste materials. In November 2011, BacTech signed a contract
with the Mines Branch of the Manitoba Department of Innovation, Energy and
Mines, to remediate an arsenopyrite gold stockpile situated at the Snow Lake
Mine in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Company continues to field enquiries globally
with respect to additional opportunities for remediation.
