(the “Company “or “EnviroLeach”), (CSE:ETI) (OTCQB:EVLLF), is pleased to announce it was selected as one of the four finalists for #DisruptMining 2018, an innovation accelerator, sponsored by Goldcorp and KPMG, which is designed to encourage new technologies and ideas to solve the biggest challenges in mining.
The sold-out live finale took place on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto during the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention. The #DisruptMining finale showcased the biggest innovators in mining in front of the industry’s leading decision-makers and peers where the four finalists pitched their concepts in a "shark-tank" style event for a CAD$1 million capital opportunity to help bring their disruption to mining.
Over 100 submissions were entered, representing completely new ideas and disruptive technologies to help benefit the mining industry. The field was narrowed down to twelve semi-finalists from which the final four were selected to compete in the finale. The four finalists included EnviroLeach Technologies, Acoustic Zoom Inc., LlamaZOO and Open Mineral.
Duane Nelson, CEO, states; “We were very excited and honored to compete as a finalist in this challenge. We consider our unique formulas and technologies to be among the most innovative and disruptive new technologies ever introduced to the mining and urban mining sectors and will continue to push the boundaries to create eco-friendly solutions for this sector. The EnviroLeach team congratulates Acoustic Zoom for winning the prestigeous event.”
The Company would like to thank Goldcorp, KPMG, our fellow finalists and semi-finalists, the judges and all the other organizers and sponsors that made this event a special one to showcase to the mining and resources community the disruptive power of EnviroLeach’s formula and processes.
