VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2021 / EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. ("EnviroMetal" or the "Company"), (CSE:ETI)(OTCQX:EVLLF)(FSE:7N2) is pleased to provide the results from tests conducted using EnviroMetal's proprietary and environmentally friendly gold recovery technology to recover gold from concentrates which had been pretreated using the Albion Process™(supplied by Glencore Technology). The EnviroMetal lixiviant and process recovered an estimated 96.7% of the gold contained in the pretreated concentrate in 24 hours. All tests were performed by EnviroMetal at its lab located in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Tests were performed using the EnviroMetal lixiviant in 3 different concentrations to determine leach efficiency, as measured by time to recover the contained gold, and leach recoveries. The sample gold concentrate was pretreated using the Albion Process™ at SGS's Lakefield division (a Certified Albion Process™ laboratory) with an assayed grade of 39.4 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold. All tests were conducted using 20% pulp density. The initial test, using regular strength reagent as a baseline, resulted in 96.7% gold recovery in in 24 hours and demonstrated fast leach kinetics with over 89% of the gold recovered in 3 hours. Subsequent tests were done using lower reagent strengths and shorter leach times. The tails from all tests were sent to an external lab to obtain certified gold grades by fire assays. The results of the tests are presented in Table 1.
Table 1: Observed Gold Recovery Using EnviroMetal Lixiviant on Albion Treated Gold Concentrate
Calculated Head Grade | Reagent Strength | Recoveries (%) | ||||||
Test | (g/t) | (%) | 1hr | 2hr | 3hr | 4hr | 5.25hr | 24hr |
1 | 39.5 | 100 | 80.6 | - | 89.3 | - | - | 96.7 |
2 | 38.9 | 50 | 78.5 | 85.2 | 86.5 | 88.6 | 91.6 | - |
3 | 36.5 | 25 | 81.9 | 86.9 | 87.1 | 87.5 | 87.7 | - |
The takeaways from the tests performed using the EnviroMetal lixiviant are:
- Fast kinetics, with leaching essentially completed in 5.25 hours;
- Reducing reagent strength only moderately lowered overall gold recoveries; and
- Leaching for longer periods may improve gold recovery when using lower reagent strength.
Duane Nelson, EnviroMetal CEO comments, "The high recovery results on the material pretreated with the AlbionProcess™ could lead to the application of our technology for the treatment of refractory gold ores. Glencore Technologies is the global leader in oxidative atmospheric leaching technologies and our eco-friendly reagent has the potential to add significant value. This combination or fusion of technologies has the potential to emerge as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for the treatment of difficult-to-process refractory gold concentrates."
The Albion Process™ is a combination of ultrafine grinding and oxidative leaching at atmospheric pressure for processing refractory gold and copper ores and zinc concentrates.

Review of 31 Studies Finds Vegan Dog Food and Vegan Cat Food Are Well Digested30.7.2026 21:00:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2026 / A new scientific review has found that nutritionally sound vegan dog food, vegan cat food and vegetarian pet diets are generally well digested and broadly comparable to conventional meat-based diets. The review, published in the journal Animals, examined 31 existing studies assessing the digestibility of vegan, vegetarian and plant-based pet diets and ingredients in dogs and cats. Twenty-two studies focused on dogs, two on cats and seven included both species. The review found that across a wide range of study designs, dietary ingredients and digestibility measures, vegan and vegetarian diets consistently showed high digestibility and were not normally significantly less digestible than conventional meat-based diets. Digestibility is an important factor because it indicates how effectively animals can absorb and utilise nutrients from food. While modern commercial plant-based pet foods are generally formulated to provide all essential nutr

New GTDC Research Illuminates Distribution's Expanding Role in Modern Technology Ecosystems29.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2026 / The Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), the world's largest consortium of technology distributors, today released a new research report, The Evolving Role of Distribution in Technology Go-To-Market Models, developed in partnership with Channelnomics. The study examines the shift in distribution from a traditional channel intermediary into a strategic operating platform that helps vendors and partners scale, increase support and overcome the complexities associated with innovation (i.e., AI and cybersecurity) and integration. According to the research, customer expectations are rising rapidly as organizations seek integrated outcomes across AI, cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, automation, analytics and managed services. Vendors and partners increasingly struggle to meet those market demands independently with solutions requiring cross-platform integration, multi-vendor coordination, lifecycle support and operational consistency.
