BacTech Mining Corporation's plans to move forward with a bioleach demonstration plant in the Haileybury area are triggering a second public information meeting at Northern College's Haileybury School of Mines on Nov. 26.
The company has already designed, engineering, licensed and built three such plants for clients in the gold industry, and is looking to make use of its proprietary technology for remediating the many tailings in the area.
The plant will treat 200,000 tonnes per year taken from Gowganda-area tailings, recovering the cobalt, silver and nickel while neutralizing the arsenic for safe disposal.
If successful, the company will build a full-scale plant to treat a million tonnes per year for 15 years.
