Rocmec Mining Granted Patent for Thermal Fragmentation for Brazil
Rocmec Mining Inc. (TSXV:RMI) confirmed the issuance of a patent pertaining to Rocmec`s thermal fragmentation mining method for Brazil. The patent portfolio of the Company now includes the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Mexico, Morocco, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania and the United States.
As quoted in the press release:
In order to minimize dilution, the Thermal Fragmentation Mining Method enables the operator to extract a narrow mineralized corridor, 30 cm to 1 metre wide (according to the width of the vein), between two sub-level drifts. By inserting a strong burner powered by diesel fuel and compressed air into a pilot hole previously drilled directly into the vein, a thermal reaction is created, spalling the rock and enlarging the hole up to 1 metre in diameter leaving the waste walls intact. This patented method produces highly concentrated ore, resulting in 400% – 500% less dilution when compared to conventional mining methods.
Rocmec President and CEO André Savard said:
The issuance of our patent in Brazil is a strategic addition to our patent portfolio positioning Rocmec as a totally unique Hybrid mining and technology Company. The patents acquired over the years are key to the growth of our Company along with its mining operations, such as our Rocmec 1 gold property. The recent lack of discovery of large world class deposits and the need to optimise existing mine production represent a promising market for Rocmec’s thermal fragmentation mining process. Independent data gathered for the use of our exclusive patented thermal fragmentation mining method will help us to prove that our technology can become a market changer, gradually gaining recognition as a definite solution to current problems faced by the mining industry such as; increasing extraction costs and uncontrolled dilution.
