Mineworx gets US patent for HM X-tract mobile modular mining process

Posted on 13 Nov 2018
Mineworx Technologies, a leading provider of proprietary, cost-effective and non-toxic precious metals extraction solutions to the mining industry as well as to the E-Waste industry, through its collaboration with EnviroLeach Technologies, announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued US Patent Number 10/124,345 covering the Mineworx HM X-tract mobile modular
mining/extraction process.
The 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. 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
• Cleanup of any other metallic solids soil contamination
