Ross Orr: Turning Mining Waste Into Value

 

 

 

 

On the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) Issuer Update series, part of this year’s Summit on Responsible Investment, James Black sits down with Ross Orr, President & CEO of BacTech Environmental Corp. (CSE: BAC), a leader in using bioleaching to turn mining waste into value.

 

Ross shares how BacTech’s “bugs eat rocks” approach tackles arsenic-laden gold concentrates, creating economic opportunities while addressing a major environmental hazard. BacTech’s Ecuador project aims to keep value in-country, pay miners fairly, and prevent toxic arsenic from polluting rivers—offering both a green and profitable solution. Beyond gold, BacTech’s newly patented process for pyrrhotite could transform tailings management in places like the Sudbury Basin, producing magnetite for steelmaking and organic fertilizer—unlocking hidden value from waste.

 

As Ross says, “We’re turning liabilities into profit centers. That’s sustainability in action.”
