February 14, 2014 - VANCOUVER, Canada - NanoStruck Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "NanoStruck") (CSE:NSK) (OTCQX: NSKTF) (Frankfurt: 8NSK) announces that NanoStruck's Interim CEO and Chairman, Bundeep Singh Rangar, is scheduled to be interviewed today, Friday, February 14, 2014 on the Commodities Show with Andrew Bell on BNN - Business News Network.
The television interview will begin at about 11:40 AM until 12:00 Noon (Eastern Standard Time) on BNN and will be posted on its website at the following link http://www.bnn.ca/Shows/Commodities.aspx.
The interview will discuss the NanoStruck's proprietary water technologies including a recent press release announcing the testing of its mine tailings treatment techniques and preliminary results showing recovery rates of gold from mine tailings to be much higher than expected. NanoStruck's methods involve industrial collaboration for specific innovative milling, pryometallurgy and hydrometallurgy processes combined with proprietary organic nano technology compounds.
About the Company
NanoStruck Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company with a suite of technologies that remove molecular-sized particles using patented absorptive organic polymers. These versatile biomaterials are derived from crustacean shells or plant fibers, depending on the requirements of their usage. Acting as molecular sponges, the nanometer-sized polymers are custom programmed to absorb specific particles for remediation or retrieval purposes. These could be used to clean out acids, hydrocarbons, pathogens, oils and toxins in water via its NanoPure solutions or to recover precious metal particles in mine tailings, such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium using the Company's NanoMet solutions.
By using patented modifications to conventional technologies and adding polymer-based nano-filtration, the Company offers environmentally safe NanoPure solutions for water purification. The Company uses Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines as a benchmark for water quality and safety to conform to acceptable agricultural or drinking water standards in jurisdictions where the technology is used.
Additionally, the Company's technology can be used to recover precious and base metals from mine tailings, which are the residual material from earlier mining activities. By retrieving valuable metals from old tailing dumps, the Company's NanoMet solutions boost the value of existing mining assets and reduce the need for new, costly and potentially environmentally harmful exploration and mining.
The Company's current business model is based on either selling water remediation plants or leasing out units and charging customers on a price per liter basis with a negotiated minimum payment per annum. For processing mine tailings, the value of precious metal recovered is shared with tailing site owners on a pre-agreed basis.
