(TSX-V: BQE) / TheNewswire / June 13, 2019, a leader in the management of mine wastewater and metallurgical bleed streams, has been retained by GoGold Resources Inc. for the implementation of SART at the Parral operation in Chihuahua, Mexico. The contract comes after on-site testing and preliminary assessment of SART integration into the metallurgical process at Parral that were completed earlier by BQE Water. \n\n \n \nUnder the contract, BQE Water's scope of work will include plant engineering design, process automation, engineering support during procurement and construction, plant commissioning, and ongoing operations support after plant start-up.
