THOROLD, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 23, 2024 / St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTCQB:SXOOF)(FSE:85G1) is pleased to provide an operational update for the battery processing plant operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary, EVSX Corp, located in Thorold, Ontario.

Following the receipt of two shipments of batteries last week, the facility processed a small volume of alkaline batteries yesterday and produced its first batch of black mass. Management is confident that the equipment and process will meet, if not exceed, expectations.

"(...) The final stage of operational commissioning is underway for our alkaline line. Adjustments with respect to feed rate, sequence, etc., are underway (...) We are learning from experience and improving the process while working with our partners. The objectives remain the same- to improve the standards for total recovery. It is the first step to transitioning to our more sophisticated multi-chemistry lines (...) eventually linking end of life batteries to mineral resources and metallurgical technologies (...) step by step, with the help of our partners we will strive to be best in class (...) we will continue to aim to complement the other industry players (...)" commented Enrico Di Cesare, CEO of EVSX Corp.
