Well our new pilot plant hasn't quite replicated previous numbers but still economic and high grade. Tonnes of upside that will be realised soon with the next test:

3.00 g/t 5E precious metals (0.45 g/t Au, 1.76 g/t Pd, 0.55 g/t Pt, 0.03 g/t Ir and 0.21 g/t Rh).

Positive results were achieved by the first pilot plant run and expectations are that every successive run will be optimized to produce progressively better results.

Following a comprehensive review of this initial pilot plant run, BBX and EcoBiome jointly identified the following upgrades:
• Pumps have been upgraded to handle larger quantities of slurry.
• The next test will bypass the Knelson concentrator.
• Improvements to both size and varying micron ratings for the filters have been incorporated to enable higher recovery in the filtration step.
• Reactor vessels are being reconfigured so the material will transfer completely from vessel to vessel.

This was the first of many pilot plant tests, and BBX will continue working collaboratively with EcoBiome. EcoBiome is incorporating the identified enhancements prior to the next test. The ultimate goal of these tests is to be able to plan and develop a much larger plant in Brazil.
