(TSXV:BQE)\n \n \n (OTC:BTQNF)\n \n , a leader in the management of mine wastewaters\nand metallurgical bleed streams, is proud to have our Kemess\nSelen-IX™ Plant for Selenium Removal recognized with a 2022 Clean50\nTop Project Award by Delta Management Group. Clean50 Top Projects\nacknowledge the best sustainability projects completed in Canada over\nthe prior two years and are noted for their innovation, their ability\nto inform and inspire other Canadians.\n \n \n The Kemess treatment plant is the first full-scale application of our\nSelen-IX™ technology and represents a step change for the mining\nindustry to control selenium. Specifically, it provides the ability to\nreach end-of-pipe water quality regulations of less than 2 parts per\nbillion for selenium without reliance on dilution, avoids the risks of\nacute and chronic toxicity that have been linked with existing\ntreatment systems, enables intermittent and/or seasonal operations,\nand eliminates long-term liabilities associated with managing selenium\nwaste residue by producing a stable and non-toxic by-product suitable\nfor reuse in steel production.\n \n \n “We are very honoured to have our Kemess Selen-IX™ project\nselected for a Clean50 Top Project Award,” said David Kratochvil,\nPresident & CEO of BQE Water. “Successful global decarbonization\nrelies on environmentally responsible mining to supply important\nmetals. Without a viable industry solution for selenium, we may not\nreach carbon goals to offset climate change or we do so with great\nrisks that harms the environment. Many new mining projects in Canada\nand globally have identified selenium as a contaminant of concern and\nSelen-IX™ will help contribute to the sustainable extraction of\nmetals worldwide.”\n \n \n Gavin Pitchford, CEO of Delta Management Group, explains, “\n \n Delta’s criteria in determining Project awards is to\ncarefully consider a combination of actual measurable impact,\ndemonstrated innovation, and the project’s ability to inspire others\nto i...
