(“Acceleware” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: AXE), is pleased to announce two paid feasibility studies for BHP. The studies will assess the techno-economic viability of using Acceleware’s EM Powered Heat for novel mineral processing and drying applications.\n \n\n “Both studies are new and exciting opportunities to demonstrate how our EM Powered Heat technology can transform minerals processing,” said Geoff Clark, Chief Executive Officer. “These innovations align with our strategy to deliver cost-efficient process heat solutions that increase production for the mining sector. Building on strong results from our potash dryer prototype, we’re eager to advance both iron ore drying and heap leach heating to unlock new growth opportunities in mineral processing.”\n \n\n The first study will explore the use of radio frequency (RF) energy delivered by Acceleware’s EM Powered Heat platform to reduce moisture levels in iron ore from the Pilbara region of Australia. Reduction in moisture is critical to reduce or eliminate processing plant delays. Activities in the study include determining the optimal method for applying RF energy to dry the ore and collaborating with the client on how to integrate this heating stage into the existing process flow.\n \n\n The second study will involve assessing the use of RF energy to improve the efficiency of copper production via heap leaching in Chile. Research suggests that increasing the temperature of the heap can have a positive effect on yield compared to ambient temperatures. There are currently more than 200 active heaps worldwide that produce gold, copper, silver and nickel. The global annual value of just the copper produced through heap leaching is estimated at US$41 billion. Activities in the study include determining the feasibility of, and optimal method for applying RF energy to elevate and maintain the temperature of the heap. Methods include heating the ore directly, or heating the solution used to extract the copper from the heap, or a combination of both.\n \n\n\n About Acceleware\n \n\n\n Acceleware is an advanced electromagnetic (EM) heating company...
