Canadian Company Offers the First Treatment to Neutralize Red Mud

 

Orbite Aluminae's technology tackles the aluminum industry's most serious problem 

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - July 31, 2012) - Canadian clean tech company Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT) (the "Company" or "Orbite") is pleased to announce that it has developed a patented technology that can treat red mud, the most significant waste product of the traditional Bayer process for aluminum production. The Company thus offers the only ecologically sound and commercially viable alternative to manage and eliminate these toxic residues.

According to the International Committee for Study of Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium (ICSOBA), alumina producers generated in 2011 alone more than 100 million tonnes of red mud of which only 5% was reused(1). The rest is stored in ponds and reservoirs, entailing significant environmental risks. For example, on October 4, 2010, a flood of toxic red mud devastated Hungary after a retaining dyke ruptured, causing an ecological disaster. India, China, Canada, and Brasil have also been affected by spills. The environmental and social costs associated with the Bayer process and global aluminum production have become so high that several countries now oppose the development of new mining and production facilities. Orbite''s technology is an ecological and economically viable solution to this problem.

Orbite''s technology converts red mud into a dry, inert, and most importantly, environmentally neutral residue that is less than 90% the volume of its original state. High commercial value products are also recuperated in this process, including alumina (which can make up 25% of red mud), ultra-pure hematite (which is what gives the toxic residue its red colour) and magnesium oxide, as well as rare metal oxides that can have significant residual economic value. Orbite''s team of engineers has verified these results using red mud samples with properties characteristic common to those that currently confront the alumina industry. The Company developed a large-scale industrial process capable of treating red mud while individually recovering its main components.

Orbite now intends to license its technology to producers interested in reducing their environmental footprint and their risk of contamination, but also in reducing operating costs and growing their revenues.

About Orbite

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian clean tech company whose innovative technologies are setting the new standard for alumina production. Orbite''s technologies enable environmentally-neutral extraction of smelter-grade alumina (SGA), high-purity alumina (HPA) and high-value elements, including rare earths and metals, from a variety of sources such as aluminous clay and bauxite, without generating the toxic red mud residue that the traditional Bayer process produces. The Company owns ten different families of intellectual property rights (and patents pending) filed across the world for the extraction of alumina at the highest standards of sustainability. Orbite also owns exclusive mining rights over a total of 60,984 hectares including the 6,665 hectares Grande-Vallee property, the site of an aluminous clay deposit in Quebec, Canada. An NI 43-101 compliant report identified over 1 billion tonnes of aluminous clay in part of this deposit. Orbite is currently converting its 2,600 m² pilot plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, Canada into a full-scale high-purity alumina production facility, and expects this plant to be fully operational in early 2013. The Company also anticipates the launch of construction of its first SGA plant towards the end of 2013. Orbite plans to offer SGA and HPA products and to license its low processing cost technologies to well-qualified producers who want to reduce their environmental footprint. Orbite has recently entered into partnerships with the world''s largest aluminum producer, UC Rusal, and Asia''s largest aluminum complex, National Aluminium Company Limited.

Bruno Wang Recaps a Memorable Weekend at the British Open, Featuring an Unforgettable Finish

 

Bruno Wang, a Fan of Athletic Competition, Hereby Reports to the Public the Experience He and Mrs. Wang Enjoyed by Attending the British Open in England; Bruno Wang Saw a Memorable Tournament Won in Stunning Fashion by Ernie Els; More About Bruno Wang's Adventures Can Be Found at the URL of http://www.brunowangtaiwan.com  

LONDON--(Marketwire - August 1, 2012) - Bruno Wang, a lifelong fan of film, music, anime and of course sporting competitions, has been spending a large amount of time in England and in other parts of the United Kingdom during the summer of 2012. Mr. and Mrs. Wang have spent time at the 2012 London Film and Comic Con, at Wimbledon and they will also be attending the 2012 Summer Olympics that open on Friday. However, Bruno Wang would like to alert the public to his experience of attending the 2012 British Open, otherwise known as The Open Championship.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang were privileged to be able to attend The Open Championship that was held at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in Lancashire, which is located in the northwest portion of the country. There were strong charges at the end, there was another strong performance by Tiger Woods.

However, the 2012 Open Championship will be remembered most of all for the collapse of the leader with four holes to go by Adam Scott. Mr. Scott was looking for his first major championship, and the crowd was rooting for him because he was playing so well. Unfortunately, he bogeyed the last four holes of the tournament to lose the title. It was an emotional scene that included Scott holding back tears as he finished.

While many people felt much in the way of sympathy and empathy for Adam Scott, there was also some cheer present when it was Ernie Els, a long-time crowd favorite, who emerged as the winner. Many people were comparing this tournament to the 1999 British Open, which featured the collapse of Jean Van De Velde, who held a three-stroke lead on the final hole only to lose it with a triple-bogey. Overall, it was an emotional weekend for Bruno Wang in London and he and his wife look forward to a continued summer of memories later this week with the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
