enCore Energy Corp. (TSX-V: EU) (OTCQB: ENCUF)
(the "
Company") announced today that the Company
has signed an Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with EnviroLeach
Technologies Inc. (CSE: ETI) (OTCQB: EVLLF) and Golden Predator
Mining Corp. (TSX-V: GPY) (OTCQB: NTGSF) to establish Group 11
Technologies Inc (“Group 11”), a US-based technology firm focused
primarily on non-invasive extraction technology utilizing
environmentally-friendly liquids to recover gold and other metals.
Group 11’s new proprietary process has been
tested on high grade concentrates and is now ready for market and
testing on further applications, providing the mining industry for
the first time with a commercially viable, sustainable alternative
to standard cyanide processes and conventional mining practices
which often face community opposition and require slow-moving and
expensive regulatory compliance.
About Group 11 Technologies
Inc. Sustainable metals extraction has become a serious
challenge for the mining industry which faces growing concerns over
its carbon footprint, energy consumption, operational safety and
especially its impact on water use and water quality while
responding to an ever increasing need for metals in our daily
lives. Each Group 11 owner makes an important contribution to this
business opportunity. EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (CSE: ETI)
(OTCQB: EVLLF) has developed an economically-viable proprietary
iodine leach technology. Encore Energy Corp. (TSXV: EU) (OTCQB:
ENCUF) has pioneered a proprietary expertise in in-situ metal
recovery that opens a remarkably large opportunity for recovering
metals from deposits without the environmental disturbance of both
open pit and underground mining. Golden Predator Mining Corp.
(TSXV:GPY) (OTCQB:NTGSF) has spearheaded and successfully tested
the application of EnviroLeach technology to the recovery of gold
from sulfide concentrates where cyanide is not feasible or
permitted, using its proprietary mobile recovery unit. To

William Sheriff, Executive Chairman of EnCore
Energy, commented: “We intend to be disruptors in our industry.
Mining needs to become less invasive and more sustainable. Group 11
is our response, using a unique combination of proven, proprietary
knowledge to lessen the industry’s footprint without any sacrifice
of efficiency. Dennis Stover is clearly one of the world’s leading
experts in the field of ISR. I first had the pleasure of working
with Dennis Stover as our COO at Energy Metals where we operated an
ISR mine using non-invasive in-situ extraction successfully in the
uranium sector. ISR for other metals has enormous potential for ESG
benefits if cyanide is not required. Combining our team’s
expertise in ISR with EnviroLeach’s environmentally-friendly
solutions free of acids, toxic chemicals and cyanide is the key to
a very exciting opportunity.”
Duane Nelson, President, and CEO of EnviroLeach,
commented: “I am very excited that we will continue to advance the
application of our formulas for the in-situ recovery of gold and
other metals. This application has the potential to change the way
the world mines. It has the potential to unlock the value of
deposits in environmentally sensitive areas and it could also
provide a viable solution for thousands of smaller deposits
worldwide that don’t justify the CAPEX of current conventional
mining methods.”
Background on Non-Invasive Extraction
TechnologyNon-invasive extraction of minerals, perfected
by the team now at enCore, is known in the industry as In-situ
Recovery (“ISR”) and has been successfully utilized to recover
metals including uranium and copper using liquid solutions other
than cyanide. Group 11 Technologies is committed to the development
and application of ISR extraction for gold and other metals using
EnviroLeach’s patented environmentally-friendly liquids along with
enCore’s expertise in ISR extraction. This combination of expertise
will advance a business model that has potential to disrupt the
conventional mining industry.
In-Situ Recovery (meaning ‘in place’) is a
non-invasive extraction method that has transformed the uranium
industry. In ISR, solvent-like fluids are circulated underground
and returned to surface for further processing and recovery of the
minerals. ISR means no open pits or underground tunnels, no
tailings or large waste dumps and no discharge of noxious chemical
at surface. It therefore has the potential to be a low-impact, low
capital cost mining method. At the end of mine life, when many
projects are burdened by remediation and rehabilitation
requirements, ISR means substantially reduced mine-closure costs
compared to conventional practices. In addition, energy
requirements, water needs and the greenhouse gas footprint of
mining projects can be significantly reduced using ISR
technology.
Under the terms of the LOI, enCore and
EnviroLeach will be the largest shareholders of Group 11 with an
initial stake of 40% each. EnCore will provide $750,000 in funding
and EnviroLeach will provide for the exclusive use of its
non-invasive extraction technology. Golden Predator will own an
initial 20% interest and contribute mobile processing equipment and
expertise in utilizing EnviroLeach’s environmentally friendly
solution for recovery of gold from sulphide concentrates, as
demonstrated by the successful test work at GPY’s 3 Aces Project.
Upon completion of a definitive agreement, Group 11 will fund all
ongoing research and development expenditures for in-situ and
secondary recovery applications. Completion of a definitive
agreement is subject to a number of conditions including but not
limited to final term negotiations, licensing agreements and
regulatory approvals.
