NanoBreak is our innovation to identify and efficiently recover tellurium occluded gold and silver.

• Tellurium is considered throughout the world of metallurgy a highly refractory mineral.

• The leaching of telluride ores has always been problematical with a perceived mismatch of findings between researchers and operators.

• Refractory Tellurium’s chemical properties mask gold and silver and are lost during testing.

• Our Nanotechnological treatment of refractory ores has proven results in extracting tellurium effected gold, with registered yield increases of up to 300%.

•  The increased production yield was generated by identifying and harvesting unregistered gold that was previously heading as waste in the form of tailings to the tailings pond.

• The process to recuperate this gold is completely parallel to regular

  production and does not interfere with it.

  
  

TESTING FOR TELLURIUM GOLD

• Our latest series of lab testing on client taken samples and our own sampling produced identical results.

• Proof of recoverable gold within  tailings bound material.

• This material was not seen in the client lab fire assay or other international consultancy lab testing.
  

GOLD RECOVERY

• Running the tailings bound material with our custom reagents in an IRL Reactor we recovered the same volumes of material as the testing indicated.

• A considerable increase in yield was achieved from the Brite Metals processed material.

• It was demonstrated that the mine previously thought to be operating at Ca. 83% had a radical increase in concentration, yield and recovery.

BUSINESS MODEL

• Brite Metals team and custom reagents are provided to the clients mine site.

• No fee’s are charged, Brite Metals invoices the client for an agreed ratio of the additional recovered metal.

• Brite Metals can offer turn-key refining and purchase via European refiners. 
  

NanoLeach is our sustainable and efficient monitoring and improvement of the leaching process.

.

• Our technology approaches the leaching challenges from the oxygen optimization perspective.

• Increased oxygenation = better reaction = time reduction and higher efficiency.

• Implementation of our Nano Accelerator system is a simple process, only requiring minor modifications to oxygen delivery inside the tanks.

SOLUBILITY

• The solubility of gases in aqueous solutions generally decreases when temperature increases and increases when gas partial pressure increases.

• The presence of ions in the solution may decrease the solubility of the gas, depending on the type and the concentration.

• But, for most solutions in gold extraction processes, the ionic force is relatively low, and this decrease is not significant.

PRESSURE

• Oxygen solubility in water not only depends on temperature, it is also affected by gas partial pressure over the liquid in which it is dissolved.

• Oxygen pressure in air is constant, concentration in the water does not increase unless oxygen partial pressure is increased.

• Erroneously, it is believed that increasing the cyanide concentration increases the gold extraction kinetics.

NANO ACCELERATOR

• Brite Metals methodology uses nanotechnology that creates an additional oxygen reserve in addition to dissolved oxygen.

  team and custom reagents are provided to the clients mine site.

• With this, given the higher oxygen concentration, the gold leaching becomes faster, generally hours instead of days, with lower cyanide concentrations.

• Brite Metals Nanoparticle production is conducted at our in-house laboratories in Europe and the Americas. Production switching to a new UK facility later in 2022. 

• Our Nanoparticles are all water bourne, coating free and may be stored and shipped at room temperature.
