ITRONICS ANNOUNCES ITS ROCK KLEEN
CHEMISTRY SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERS GOLD FROM MINE TAILINGS;
SIGNIFICANT NEW DISCOVERY
GOLD RECOVERY; EXCITING
BREAKTHROUGH--
RENO, NV --
November 1, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Itronics Inc.
(OTC:ITRO) announced today that its on-going testing of gold
recovery from gold mine cyanide leach tailings is successfully
recovering gold during the Rock Kleen leaching process. This
is a significant new discovery.
"In
the current environment of high inflation, confirmed by the Federal
Reserve's continued rate hikes, gold has traditionally served
investors well as a hedge against inflation. We believe this
can lead to growing price appreciation for gold, making our Rock
Kleen Technology discovery an attractive opportunity for mining
companies and investors with strong upside potential", said Dr.
John Whitney, Itronics President.
Process
adjustments made during on-going testing are demonstrating that
most of the recoverable gold is being recovered by the Rock Kleen
chemistry and that the cyanide leaching step recovers much of the
remaining gold, thereby improving the overall gold recovery.
Measurable gold recovery has now been demonstrated for gold/silver
cyanide mill tailings, gold/silver cyanide heap leach tailings, and
for very low gold content waste rock.
The
discovery that both silver and gold are recoverable by the Rock
Kleen chemistry establishes the potential for the Rock Kleen
Technology to optimize both silver and gold recovery during
processing of silver/gold ore. Gold is much more valuable
than silver, so improvement in total gold recovery, while also
improving silver recovery, could significantly benefit mines that
adopt the technology. The ability to clean up the mine
tailings, making them a salable industrial mineral, is a major
added benefit, helping the environment.
The
Rock Kleen chemistry was developed by Itronics to recover silver,
base metals, nutrient materials, nitrogen, and residual cyanide
from mine waste.
A Rock Kleen chemical process step is being introduced to do
a final leach to remove residual cyanide and to recover minor
amounts of residual metals including silver and gold. This
final leaching step ensures that water soluble elements in the
washed rock are reduced to minimal levels thereby improving the
environmental safety for the rock products that can then be
recovered for commercial sale.
"The
Rock Kleen chemistry continues to demonstrate its ability to remove
residual cyanide to below drinking water limits, making this a
robust environmentally compatible process, said Dr. John Whitney,
Itronics President. "The ability to improve gold recovery is
an exciting breakthrough."
"We
would like to thank our investors for their continued support,"
said Dr. Whitney. "Our[JK1] portfolio of "Zero Waste Energy
Saving Technologies" is making the world cleaner and greener and is
positioned to enhance the Company's continued drive to
profitability."
