Here, Chris sits down with BacTech’s Ross Orr to get an updated picture of where the company is at these days on two major projects/initiatives:

— Its Tenguel Project in Ecuador, now in the stage of looking for the right financing and/or offtake partner. As you’ll see–especially with gold’s price more than doubling since the original Bankable Feasibility Study here–this will be a cash cow for BacTech, local Ecuadorians and shareholders if the company can make it to the finish line!

— More recently, the emerging story of the company’s ability to successfully and economically treat mining waste in various settings is especially exciting and might well become the bigger story going forward.

Chris points out that these technologies and some related ones to improve “downstream” processing of ores/tailings and environmental remediation are finally set to enjoy some more notable adoption.
