Mining News: Northern Neighbors: New tech pulls selenium from KSM waters
Seabridge Gold Inc. Aug. 4 reported the completion of a pilot plant evaluation of a new process for the removal of selenium from waters at its KSM copper-gold project in northwestern British Columbia. Seabridge Gold Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk said, “The results provide further evidence that KSM has been designed to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.” The BC Environmental Assessment Certificate issued for KSM in July 2014 required completion of the pilot plant test within one year of issuance of the certificate. Vancouver B.C.-based BioteQ Environmental Technologies Inc., the developer of the patent pending technology being tested, set up and operated the pilot plant. BioteQ President and CEO DavidKratochvil said, “We are extremely pleasedwith the successful demonstration of ourSelen IXTM treatment technology toreduce selenium concentrations to one(part per billion) using water extractedfrom the KSM project site.”
