AmeriChem Engineering Services Joins Converge Global for the Development of the Eagle Nest Mining Property
TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwire - Dec. 10, 2009) - Converge Global, Inc. (the "Company") (PINK SHEETS:CVRG) announced today that AmeriChem Engineering Services ("AmeriChem") has agreed to work in association with the Company on the Eagle Nest Mining Property ("Eagle Nest") in La Paz County, Arizona.
Cornelia Volino, President of Converge Global, Inc. stated "We look forward to AmeriChem's guidance and leadership as the Company moves forward with the Eagle Nest Mining Property." Ms. Volino further stated "It is hoped that the geological testing will demonstrate justifiable values for the further development and design of an environmentally friendly and highly efficient processing plant."
AmeriChem would be engaged in a consulting capacity for the design and development of the proposed processing plant, chemical extracting process and gold recovery system. AmeriChem would also work closely with the Company's geological team and testing laboratories.
Upon completion of the assays and concentration tests, plans for further evaluation and possible development of Eagle Nest will be determined.

The proposed operation at Eagle Nest would employ AmeriChem's uniquely designed and engineered processing plant that utilizes an environmentally friendly thiourea based leach solution. This type of processing plant is modular and designed to process multiples of 25, 50, or 100 tons per day and is preplumbed, prewired and trailer mounted for easy installation.
About Thiourea
Thiourea, CSN(NH2)2 is an organic compound which dissolves easily in an acid solution in a stable molecular form. Gold dissolves in acidic thiourea solution to form a stable complex. In the thiourea reaction, Enviropro A-04 additive is used as an oxidizing agent.
One of the main advantages of thiourea is the high rate of gold dissolution. The leaching rate can be many times faster than other types of leaches. The thiourea leaching may be adapted to given ore conditions, whereas the leaching conditions of other leaching process may only be modified within a narrow range.
The economics of gold leaching with thiourea are principally determined by thiourea consumption, which is related to thiourea and oxidant concentrations, pH and the solution potential. Thiourea concentrations between 5 to 50 g/l may be used. Sufficient oxidant (i.e. Enviropro A-04 additive) is required to oxidize thiourea for optimal leaching conditions. The presence of excess oxidant increases thiourea consumption significantly. For this reason, close control of solution potential is required through all stages of leaching in any commercial process. Thiourea consumptions of 1-4 kg per ton have been projected for optimized thiourea leaching based on currently available technology.
