August 9th Press Release From Blue Gold
August 9, 2013 - VANCOUVER, Canada – Blue Gold Water Technologies Ltd. (CNSX: BGO) (Frankfurt: 2GCN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lee D. Wilson as the first member of the Blue Gold Advisory Board. The Company is establishing an Advisory Board of eminent individuals to assist with science, technology, governance and business development.
Dr. Wilson completed a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Saskatchewan
(1998) and was an NSERC (The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada) Visiting Fellow at the National Research Council of Canada at the Steacie Institute
for Molecular Sciences. Currently, Dr. Wilson is an Associate professor of Chemistry at the
University of Saskatchewan.
Dr. Wilson has led the development of a nano chitosan copolymer powder, a derivative of
crustacean shells, that’s being used exclusively by Blue Gold for its water remediation
technologies. He specializes in Physical Chemistry and Materials Science and his current area of research aims at the development of new types of materials (e.g., molecular sponges) that will have a tremendous impact on areas such as the environment, biotechnology, medicine, chemical delivery/separation systems, and membrane materials for water purification. This research will be of great importance to communities in Canada that are compromised by water quality and related health issues that require point-of-use treatment strategies.
Bundeep Singh Rangar, Chairman of the Board said: “We are pleased to bring Dr. Wilson on
board and believe that his credentials and expertise in nanotechnology materials will be a
real asset to the Company.”
About the Company
Blue Gold Water Technologies Ltd. is a water remediation company with a suite of patented
technologies and proprietary nano-biotechnology that provides environmentally safe
solutions for water purification, restoration and contamination issues. The Company uses
the EPA guidelines as a benchmark for what constitutes safe agricultural or drinkable water,
and tailors these guidelines to those standards that are acceptable in the jurisdiction in which
the technology is used. Additionally, the Company’s technology can be used to recover
heavy and precious metals from mine tailings.
The first water treatment facility began operating on January 14, 2012 in Mexico. It has been
successfully removing leachate from water in a landfill and producing clean water certified by
Conaqua, the federal water commission of Mexico.
In addition, the Company has a patent pending technology that recovers precious metals
contained in tailings. At the end of the process, the water is remediated and can be reused.
The Company’s suite of technologies includes: (i) PUREINATORTM, (ii) SMARTSANTM, (iii)
LAREMUTECTM, and (iv) DESALTTM 1000/2000 & DESALTTM 5500. These technologies can
be utilized as separate solutions or in combination with one another, to accommodate
specific client requirements.
