There are over 10,000 abandoned mines in Canada contaminating surrounding areas. Bactech Environmental has a proprietary technology to eliminate acid drainage while claiming valuable metals. BacTech Environmental, mining solutions for a greener planet. BacTech is a pioneering, environmental technology company that has developed and commercialized a proprietary technology to remediate highly toxic tailing areas resulting from abandoned mining operations. In addition, the Company recently added processing of arsenopyrite ores produced by artisanal miners in South America to its' slate of offerings. BacTech's core technology, called "bioleaching", employs naturally-occurring bacteria, harmless to both humans and the environment, to oxidize the sulphide materials left behind after years of mining. The tailings may contain ores and related materials contaminated by arsenic and other substances that are poisonous to humans and animals, as well as harmful to the local environment. The sulphides in the tailings react (oxidize) with the atmosphere to create an acidic solution called acid rock drainage ("ARD"), which leaches into the surrounding area over time. BacTech's bioleaching process can stabilize these toxins from minerals and prevent additional harmful AMD. The technology provides a "Garden of Eden" environment for the bacteria to thrive and multiply and permits them to achieve in 6 days what would normally take 20 years to occur naturally.
