BacTech Environmental Corp. Closes 2nd Tranche of Financing

The $0.015 units consist of one common share and 1 common share purchase warrant that permits the holder to buy an additional share at $0.05 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the financing. The Company announced that it has closed the 2nd tranche of the financing for a total of $32,000 through the issuance of 2,133,333 units. This brings the total dollars committed to the financing to $64,000.

Ponce Enriquez, in southern Ecuador, hosts over 90 small mines, many of which produce significant amounts of arsenic along with gold. Given the ever-tightening environmental regulations globally, producers of this type of high arsenic gold concentrate can expect to receive lower prices for their product compared with cleaner concentrates. Bioleaching's ability to stabilize high levels of arsenic will provide a local processing option that should provide better prices for their product and also add to the environmental aspects of the equation.

This is a non-brokered private placement. Any qualified person interested in participating in the current funding should contact the Company directly.

Company Overview
