Gold Port Corporation announced that leach test work is underway using a new and innovative leaching process. Draslovka's Mining Innovation Centre in Perth, Australia has been retained to test their patented GlyCat glycine leaching technology for the recovery of gold using a dual lixiviant system of glycine and sodium cyanide. Samples from the Groete Gold Project have been received in Australia and are currently under evaluation.

Test work is being conducted under the supervision of Mr. William Feyerabend, CPG, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, and a director of the Company. Glycine is a non-toxic biodegradable and recyclable amino acid commonly used as a food additive. Industry test work by Draslovka's Mining innovation Centre in Perth, has demonstrated that GlyCat enables significant operation cost savings from the reduction in the use of cyanide, detoxification and other leaching reagents, potential improvements in gold recovery as well as reduction of waste and wastewater treatment costs.
