Metallurgical Characteristics

Gold ZoneThere is a considerable amount of gold mineralization in an area located immediately west of the known sulphide deposit that has not been outlined in the existing NI 43-10 Resource, and it is contained almost entirely within quartz-bearing zones. A 117.7 kg composite sample was collected from the SIF gold occurrence and served as the bulk metallurgical sample for the Gold Zone. The head grade was identical to that sampled during the Taranis panel sampling program in summer 2013 (15.5 g/tonne). Gravity recovery in the Gold Zone using a Knelson concentrator yielded 75.8% recoveries, and flotation had 96.5% recovery. Cyanide leaching showed recoveries of 92.7% after 6 hours and 97.8% after 24 hours (ore ground to a nominal 67mm K80 for all tests).
