Background on Group 11 Technology for Non-Invasive Extraction
In Situ Recovery (“ISR”) is a non-invasive extraction method that has transformed the uranium industry: oxygenated water-based solutions are circulated underground, dissolving the targeted metals, and then returned to surface for processing and recovery. ISR’s unparalleled environmental advantage includes no open pits or underground mining, no tailings or large waste dumps and no discharge of noxious chemicals at surface. It is a low-impact, low capital cost mining method. As for remediation and rehabilitation requirements, ISR delivers substantially reduced mine-closure time and costs compared to conventional practices. In addition, energy requirements, water usage and the environmental footprint of mining projects are significantly reduced by ISR technology.

Non-invasive extraction of minerals has been successfully implemented in the mining sector with many innovators and patent holders now involved at enCore, one of the Group 11 partners. These innovators pioneered In-situ Recovery which has been successfully utilized to recover metals including uranium and copper using liquid solutions other than cyanide. Group 11 is committed to the development and application of ISR extraction for gold and other metals using EnviroLeach’s patented environmentally friendly process along with enCore’s expertise in ISR extraction. This combination of expertise will advance a business model that has potential to disrupt the conventional mining industry.

The Group 11 Team: The future of metals extraction is a serious challenge for the mining industry which must address mounting concerns over its environmental and carbon footprint, energy consumption, operational safety and its impact on water use and water quality while responding to an ever-increasing need for metals in our daily lives. Each Group 11 partner brings a vital skill set to address these challenges and create a unique business opportunity. Group 11 is backed by a top tier staff of scientists and engineers; an extraordinary data set; independent technical validations; strategic relationships; research and development and commercially proven processes and technologies.

About Group 11 Technologies Inc. (‘Group 11’): is a private US-based company committed to the development and application of environmentally and socially responsible precious metals mineral extraction. The combination of non-invasive extraction technology and environmentally friendly processes to recover gold and other metals provides an alternate solution to conventional open pit and underground mineral extraction.
