GOLD-SILVER: Mineworx receives patent for HM X-tract method for precious metals

BURNABY, B.C. –  Mineworx Technologies, a leading provider of proprietary, cost effective, and non-toxic precious metals extraction solutions to the e-waste and mining industries, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has recently issued a Notice of Allowance for the Mineworx patent application number 14/097,889 pertaining to “A Portable Mining Apparatus and Methods of Use”. The technology for which the Notice of Allowance has been issued is the Company’s HM X-tract mobile modular mining/extraction process. “Our HM X-tract proprietary mining technology, combined with a unique operational system results in an environmentally responsible, non-toxic process for precious metal reclamation which requires no tailings ponds and consumes 80% less water,” commented CEO Greg Pendura. “The system is capable of high efficiency recoveries from both alluvial and crushed hard rock deposits as well as being able to process old tailings for remaining value. The new technology allows us to deploy rapidly, process efficiently and decommission quickly in an environmentally sound manner with little capital expenditure and significantly reduced permitting process.” The HM X-tract will target:

• Deposits previously not minable due to environmental concerns;
• Smaller deposits where large capital expenditures are not justified;
• Deposits in areas where permitting and lack of water prohibit mining;
• On site cleanup of contaminants and hazardous metals such as lead and depleted uranium on military sites and firing ranges; and
• Cleanup of any other metallic solids soil contamination.
