BioteQ Environmental Technologies Inc. provided an update on plant operations and sales activities for the first quarter of 2013. The company had two active water treatment operations during the first quarter at Bisbee, Arizona and Dexing, China. BioteQ's seasonal operations at the Raglan site are expected to commence later this spring when water becomes available from the snow melt. Revenues from both the Bisbee and Dexing plants are based on the sale of recovered copper. During first quarter of 2013 the Bisbee operation recovered approximately 140,000 pounds of copper and treated 290,000 m3 of waste water. The Dexing plant recovered approximately 511,000 pounds of copper and treated 2.2 million m3 of waste water. Combined, in first quarter of 2013 the two operations removed and recovered approximately 651,000 pounds of copper from the environment and treated 2.5 million m3 of waste water compared to 530,000 pounds of copper and 1.8 million m3 of waste water in first quarter of 2012.

Collectively, the company expects to recover approximately 2.4 million pounds of copper in 2013.
