BacTech | » BacTech Environmental Receives Letter of Support from Ecuador

BacTech Environmental Corporation (“BacTech or the Company”) (CSE:BAC, US-OTC:BCCEF)

today announced that it has received a letter of support from the Minister of Environment for

Ecuador. The letter, which is attached as an English translation, arose as a result of a visit to the

Ministry in January of this year. The original Spanish letter will be posted on the Company’s

website. At the meeting, BacTech revealed its plans to target areas of high arsenic

mineralization associated with gold mining in Ecuador. BacTech’s proprietary bioleach

technology produces a benign ferric arsenate from the active arsenic in the concentrates and

tailings.

At present, high arsenic concentrates produced in Ecuador are sold to the Asian market under

severe financial penalty. BacTech is investigating the construction of an in-country bioleach

circuit to offer better prices than currently being paid to the miners as well as engaging the

local population through a cleaner environment and employment opportunities.

“We are pleased to have the support of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment. In fact, we

have had very positive support from other Ministries that we have engaged over the past year

as well. The government can see the benefits of mining, but they are determined to only allow

it under very strict environmental standards. We feel that the social impact on mining in certain

areas of Ecuador will be enhanced through the use of bioleaching as a processor of

concentrates. Again, we would like to thank Minister Mata for his support,” said Ross Orr,

President and CEO of BacTech.
