News VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 6, 2021 /EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. ("EnviroMetal" or the "Company"), (CSE: ETI) (OTCQX: EVLLF) (FSE: 7N2) is pleased to report positive results of test work performed for P2 Gold Inc. ("P2") (TSX-V: PGLD) on mineralized material from P2's gold-copper Gabbs Project located on the Walker-Lane Trend in Nevada.
The test work was undertaken to determine the gold recovery potential and leach efficiency of EnviroMetal's patented eco-friendly formula to recover gold from the Gabbs Project.
Two gold-copper samples from the Gabbs Project were received at the EnviroMetal laboratory in Burnaby, BC and subsequently sent to a certified third-party lab for crushing, splitting, and assaying. EnviroMetal then processed the two samples using its proprietary lixiviant (leach solution). After 24 hours of processing, the calculated gold recoveries for both samples were approximately 90% as outlined in Tables 1 and 2 below.

Joe Ovsenek, President and CEO of P2 Gold commented: "We decided to investigate the use of EnviroMetal's eco-friendly gold extraction solutions for our Gabbs Project because of its record of extracting gold for other projects. With gold recoveries of approximately 90% for the Gabbs samples, the initial test work was definitely a success. Given these encouraging initial results, we intend to evaluate EnviroMetal's process as an alternative for gold recovery as we advance engineering for the Gabbs Project."
