Under the framework agreement, BioteQ and Minera Mexico have agreed to develop waste treatment projects that utilize BioteQ’s technologies.

BioteQ’s technologies can be employed in the recovery, recycle and treatment of industrial waste, waste water and by-product management.

BioteQ will provide process design and commissioning services as well as plant equipment on a process fee basis, in return for a license to use the company’s technology for each treatment project.

Minera Mexico will provide for construction of the treatment plants.

The firms have initiated the review of the first ten potential treatment projects at three of Minera Mexico’s sites in Mexico to develop waste recovery and recycle projects focused on existing waste management opportunities in smelter dust treatment as well as copper, molybdenum and zinc recovery from historic waste water sources.
