Bayhorse aims to use the technology to reduce mineral processing and upgrading costs.
The environmentally friendly Solo system enables recovery of additional silver.
Bayhorse said in a statement: "The Solo system has the potential to deal with environmental issues from mining and provide solutions which will allow mines to meet more demanding environmental standards required of mining today."
"Additionally, many mines produce contaminated water or mine waste that is an environmental problem if discharged untreated, giving the mining industry a black name."

By GlobalDataThe Solo technology has been introduced following 20 years of research, development, and application in Mexico and is based upon a variant of electromagnetic ionic flocculation.
The system is currently used by 13 permanent commercial installations in Mexico for water and industrial waste remediation.
It has been designed to treat solid mine waste, such as tailings piles, that can be a serious environmental issue.
The Bayhorse pilot plant will be GreenHawk’s first deployment of the mining technology in Canada and the US.
