MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 9, 2013) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite") is pleased to announce that the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) have recognized Orbite as the National Winner of the 2012 Awards in New Technology for the innovation of alumina production without red mud waste. Orbite was previously selected as the regional winner for the Province of Quebec. The NRC-IRAP Award for New Technology recognizes national innovative excellence in the development, adoption, and application of new technology in process or products.
Orbite's innovative and proprietary process can successfully produce alumina from clay and other feedstocks including red mud, the waste by-product of alumina production from bauxite using the industry-standard Bayer process. An estimated 3 billion tonnes of red mud exists worldwide in stockpiles with an additional 100 million tonnes produced annually. Orbite will license its technology internationally with the intent of changing the alumina industry and eliminating red mud waste.
