Creso Partners with Nichromet in a 24 M$ Environmentally Friendly Gold Extraction Plant Supported by SDTC

15.07.2013  |  Marketwired
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired - Jul 15, 2013) - Creso Exploration Inc. ("Creso" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:CXT) (OTCQX:CRXEF) (FRANKFURT:C3X) is pleased to announce an agreement with Nichromet Extraction Inc. ("Nichromet") to develop the Minto gold deposit using patented environmentally friendly extraction processes (the "Project"). The Project is part of a 24 million dollar demonstration plant financed by Nichromet and supported by Sustainable Development Technology Canada ("SDTC"), a not-for-profit foundation that finances and supports the development and demonstration of clean technologies, who in February of 2013, committed $5 million in support of Nichromet's gold refining process.

The Project, located within the Shining Tree district of northeastern Ontario, will use an open pit mining method to extract a 30,000 tonne bulk sample, at a projected rate of 1,200 tonnes per day ("TPD"). Crushing and stockpiling for processing will be done onsite. All cost incurred beyond the stockpiling will be incurred by Nichromet. The modular processing plant, to be built by Nichromet and at its cost, will include grinding and flotation and is planned to operate at a rate of 300 TPD. The concentrate product will be transported to Nichromet's demonstration plant in Thetford Mines, and 100% of the gold recovered will be returned to Creso.

Operations are scheduled to begin in April of 2014, once the permitting process is completed, and are anticipated to last for approximately 8 months, during which time, site will be prepared, concentrator will be built and the bulk sample will be mined and processed.

Dundee Corporation transferred to Nichromet, a private Canadian company controlled by Dundee Corporation, 19,779,000 common shares ("Creso Shares") in the capital of Creso and 9,500,000 Creso common share purchase warrants ("Creso Warrants") in exchange for Nichromet common shares.

About Nichromet

Nichromet Extraction Inc. is a private Canadian company controlled by Dundee Corporation that has developed patented precious and base metal extraction processes that are environmentally friendly in that the residues of mining operations are totally void of contaminants such as sulfur, arsenic, etc. These new processes are based on chlorination and are particularly efficient for the treatment of polymetallic ores either in the form of sulfides, oxides, or arsenides. These chloride based patented processes are in fact a substitute to cyanidation which is commonly used in the mining industry.
