Catalyst Resource Group Announces Breakthrough Recovery Technologies for Precious Metals
17 July 2011 LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 9, 2011) - Catalyst Resource Group (PINKSHEETS: CATA) (OTCQB: CATA), a precious metals recovery and technologies company, today announced that the Company's proprietary recovery system for precious metals is capable of increasing recovery rates up to 10,000% more than that of traditional methods Catalyst Resource Group has developed and secured patented proprietary methods that can recover fine micron metals that could not be recovered in the past.
This process is able to recover up to one hundred times the standard industry recovery rates, targeting gold, platinum, rhodium and palladium. Using the Catalyst recovery system, the Company will start production on its properties in Beluga, Alaska, which consist of an initial 160 acres with an option to increase up to an additional 46,080 acres. Initial results from the properties have shown significant quantities of rhodium, palladium and gold.
Catalyst CEO, Douglas Berkey, said: "We consider ourselves to be a 'hybrid mining company,' with all the benefits of a large mining operation but with none or little of the costs and risks associated with it. Because most of our material is above ground and already mined, our operating costs are less than 10% of those of traditional mining companies. Our methods are also more environmentally friendly while being much more efficient."
The Company intends to form several joint ventures with other mine properties and start to license out its patented separation process to other mining, processing, recovery and refining operations around the world.
