Haber Inc, announced that it is has made its first successful pilot run with its proprietary Aladdin technology in its Massachusetts ore processing facility.
Haber’s machine, called Aladdin, is being tested through a number of increasingly larger processing trials at its Massachusetts facility, including batch runs of roughly 150 to 200 pounds of ores per run.
"The experimental nature of our current work and the modest size of the machine allow adjustments and modifications to be made to Aladdin with a minimum of expense. Adding this machine to our overall gold processing approach is the final component needed for a completely integrated system. All the necessary elements in the process are now available to us. The extraction and recovery formulations, optimal chemical economy, maximum efficiency and speed of extraction all achieve their optimum conditions in the Aladdin machine," said Albert Conti, president and CEO for Haber.
Once the testing is complete the company said its machine will be reset to process electronic scrap, and testing will begin on approximately 1,500 pounds of electronic scrap currently on hand.
"Our immediate objective is to run the Aladdin machine until we exhaust all the gold-bearing materials we have in inventory. Haber has made arrangements to receive supplies of high-grade ore which will be shipped from the western U.S. early next year and which will be used to support monthly production requirements. We are also seeking additional gold concentrates and other gold-bearing materials to fill the pipeline as we gain more experience in using Aladdin," said Conti.
Haber will act as a precious metals broker for various small precious metals processors who have asked the company to assist them with sales into the commodity market. Haber is also in discussions with a number of companies and individuals who control ore bodies, which are currently mining or planning mining operations in the near future regarding joint venture opportunities.
