Preliminary Results from Laboratory Testing

  • Gold is recovered from gravity, within the sulphide float and Carbon in Leach (CIL)

  • High Grade Gold Variability Testing and Recoveries for “Bonanza Gold” sections upcoming

  • Bulk sulphide float at 105mm occurs in approximately 5 minutes

  • +95% Copper Recoveries in Preliminary Flotation Testing Results

  • Copper Concentrate Product (containing +95% of Cu) will weigh only 15% of ore fed to mill (significant transportation/logistics advantages)

  • Crushing, mill selection results as expected for an Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold ore body.

  • Premium Value Coal Washing Magnetite by-product to be included in Pre-Feasibility Study

  • Coal Washing Magnetite extracted from “waste” rock at surface greatly reducing waste stream while adding significant by-product value to project
