Summit Royalties Takes Over 4% Gold Stream on Mining Americas’ Copperstone Project Summit Royalties has completed its acquisition of Star Royalties, taking over 48 royalties and streams, including a 4% gold stream on Mining Americas’ Copperstone project.
The change in ownership of the Copperstone stream could influence the project’s funding options and future economics, as Summit’s expanded portfolio and refreshed management team now control this contract.
Mining Americas’ shares trade at about CA$5.54, with the stock down 10.9% over the past 30 days, indicating some recent pressure despite the Copperstone asset now sitting within a larger royalty portfolio.
This royalty transfer means any future gold production from Copperstone will send 4% of output to Summit, so readers should pay close attention to how Mining Americas structures project financing, capital spending and schedule commitments around that stream obligation. Board Change • Jun 30

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 125% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annonce • Oct 02

Minera Alamos Inc. Provides Update on Development Plans for Copperstone Mine Minera Alamos Inc. announced that the Mine Plan of Operations amendment for the Copperstone Mine gold project has been submitted in final form to satisfy the requirements of the United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 43 Subpart 3809 ("Code of Federal Regulations"), administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). All key permits have been received with exception of minor amendments which are due to a slight change in processing technology. Under the authorization from the existing site permits, site development activities can be initiated in parallel with the pending MPO amendment in order to "fast-track" the project restart. A reissued Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in February 2025 demonstrates robust project economics, with an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of USD 66 million at a gold price of USD 1,800/oz and USD 200 million at USD 2,800/oz. The after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) ranges from 53.6% to 152.7% across these scenarios. Final decisions on the scheduling of exploration efforts will be made to best coincide with production restart activities at the site. Engineering activities have been ramped up to optimize plans for the mine restart and process plant installation. An updated technical study for the project will be released in Fourth Quarter 2025 to demonstrate the positive impact of these efforts. Project finance discussions continue with a number of interested parties that have provided indicative term sheets. The decision to amend the existing Plan of Operations was taken as a result of extensive engineering evaluations demonstrating that the use of a combination of previous processing paths provided a superior economic return for the mine while maximizing operating flexibility for the future. While focusing on optimizing mine plans for greater efficiency and ensuring that process plant can accommodate future growth, the company is also excited to start working to expand the overall resource potential through targeted drilling. By leveraging used equipment and re-evaluating marginal material under current economics, the company will continue to work to reduce costs and enhance long-term value for the project. Management has identified several opportunities to enhance the value of the Copperstone Project that will be evaluated during the current development phase. Drill hole assay intervals are downhole intervals and are not 'true widths' as there is insufficient data to determine true widths at this time. An initial four opportunities have already been identified to enhance the value of the copperstone Project via exploration and will be further evaluated during the construction phase. Drill test for the presence of the footwall zone gold mineralization at depth and under the D zone. Drilling is planned for the area proximal to historic drill hole 06CS-20 which intersected gold mineralization (20.5 grams/tonne over 1.5 metres), approximately 900m southwest of the Copperstone pit and has been neither been followed up on nor has there been any drilling within 150m of the drill hole. There is no certainty that the PEA results will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Additional work is needed to upgrade these mineral resources to mineral reserves. The 100%-owned Cerro de Oro oxide gold project in northern Zacatecas has considerable past drilling and metallurgical work completed and the proposed mining project is currently being guided through the permitting process by the Company's permitting consultants. Minera Alamos also wholly- owns the Copperstone gold mine and associated infrastructure in La Paz Country, Arizona, an advanced development asset with a permitted plan of operations that can be developed in parallel with planned project advancements in Mexico.

Minera Alamos Inc. Announces the Reissuance of the Preliminary Economic Assessment on the 100% Owned Copperstone Mine in Arizona, Usa Minera Alamos Inc. announced the reissuance of the Preliminary Economic Assessment on the 100% owned Copperstone Mine in Arizona, USA. The study demonstrates potentially robust post-tax economics which, due to pre-existing infrastructure on surface and underground, result in both low initial capital and an overall low capital intensity ratio on a per gold ounce basis. The project now also benefits from its significant tax assets and recently reduced royalty encumbrance while also having potential for resource expansion and further exploration success. The PEA supports the construction and development of a high-grade gold underground mining operation at Copperstone producing an average of 40,765 payable oz gold per year over its an initial approximate 6 year mine life. This newly prepared PEA does not address or incorporate ongoing work and trade-off studies currently being evaluated by the Minera Alamos team but does reflect a reduction in the Net Smelter Royalty burden on the project as an existing 1.5% NSR was extinguished since the first publication of the PEA by Sabre Gold Mines in 2023. Furthermore, in light of the significant move in gold prices in the last 18 months, the study includes a sensitivity analysis that takes into account gold prices ranging from $1,000/oz to $3,000/oz compared to the original study that had a gold price sensitivity range of $1,600/oz to $2,000/oz. Minera Alamos Inc., the Issuer of this report, retained Hard Rock Consulting, LLC to prepare a restated version of the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Copperstone Project that HRC completed previously for Sabre Gold Mines Corp.

Minera Alamos Inc. Provides Santana Operations Update Minera Alamos Inc. reported that further to its Santana operations update the Company's contractor mobilized at the Santana mine site at the beginning of April with mining activity at the Nicho Main zone to commence shortly. This followed the conclusion of discussions regarding the additional equipment and personnel required as operations begin to ramp up again at the mine. The focus of contractor activities since the beginning of the month has been equipment maintenance and the preparation of additional haulage roads to maximize operational flexibility for the current mine plans. While the re-start of mining activities has been aided by the pre-stripping of the new deposit area in the past year, new operations will have a staggered start as access to multiple working areas increases and as the new pit opens up over time. The Company is also implementing new sampling procedures and controls in order to optimize conditions for the Nicho Main zone which exhibits somewhat different mineralogy than that at the Nicho Norte starter pit. This will include optimizations to blasting patterns to maximize fragmentation and gold recoveries, as well as crushing and in-pit sampling and sorting to ensure the best economic outcome. In addition, the Company is testing a new dust suppressant system to improve the overall air quality in active work areas while minimizing water consumption. Overall, mining plans at the Nicho Main zone are aided by reduced hauling distances to the Santana leach pad compared to the Nicho Norte pit, and it is expected that this will allow for increases in both mining and stacking activities as the second quarter of 2024 progresses, the initial benefits of the which will be felt in third quarter and then continue throughout the next year. The Company made its production decision at the Santana gold mine without having completed a feasibility study demonstrating economic and technical viability. As such, there may be increased uncertainty of achieving planned production levels, estimated recovery of gold, the costs associated with such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. New Risk • Feb 10

Minera Alamos Inc. Announces Positive Results of an Independent Preliminary Economic Assessment for Its Cerro De Oro Project in Zacatecas, Mexico Continued The Cerro de Oro Project is planned as a conventional open pit operation that will utilize 100-t haul tucks and front-end loaders. Material will be drilled and blasted, before being loaded and hauled to a waste dump, crusher, or direct to the heap leach pad. Mining activities will be completed by a contractor who will supply all of the required mine equipment and personnel working under the supervision of the Company's technical staff. Using a nested pit shell that is based on a gold price of $1,500/oz and the economic parameters applied to the resource estimate as a guide, a full open pit mine plan was completed. Upon completion of the ultimate pit designs a check was completed that considered both revisions to the Company's gold price forecast and its operating cost estimates for the Project. A LOM gold price of $1,600/oz was selected for use in the final mine planning economics. Based on available metallurgical data for the project and an evaluation of the host rock lithologies it was assumed that the majority of mineralization mined will be placed directly on the heap leach as run-of-mine ("ROM") with approximately 30% of the mineralization reporting to the crusher for size reduction (equivalent to crushing cut-off grade of approximately 0.40- 0.45 g/t Au). The mine production schedule anticipates that mining starts at the beginning of year 1 following the completion of all required earthworks activities such as road, dump and starter leach pad construction. Due to the low LOM strip ratio (0.30:1) and the size of the mineralization the PEA did not adjust the planned mining physicals to account for mining losses or dilution (magnitude of losses likely similar to dilution). Mine planning efforts going forward will be aimed at cut-off grades and the smoothing of the mining activities later in the mine life that may provide additional economic upside for the project. Over the life of mine of 8.2 years a total of 59Mt of mineralization grading 0.37 g/t gold (700koz of contained gold) are anticipated to be mined. Pit bench heights were selected at 5m intervals in order to provide good ore/waste selectivity although use of larger bench heights in zones of primarily waste and on final open pit walls should be considered as part of future optimization studies. Overall average pit slopes with the benches/ramps in place range between approximately 30-43 degrees in the north pit and 34 - 38 degrees in the south pit. It is assumed that all drilling/blasting/loading/hauling operations at the Project are planned to be completed via an open pit mining contractor. Mining costs were developed for the project utilizing recent Mexican cost information for similar heap leach operations and as part of the Company's recent work at its Santana mine. Contractor availability in northern Mexico is currently high and rates are competitive. An additional cost was applied to the mineralized material to account on average for longer hauls to the heap leach pads over the mine life. Mine planning and supervision activities will be performed by Company personnel and these costs are excluded from contractor rates. The process flowsheet for the Cerro de Oro project is similar to that utilized by the Company at their recently constructed Santana gold heap leach project. Metallurgical testwork completed to date on samples from the Cerro de Oro deposit indicate that the gold mineralization is well disseminated throughout the host rock and that the oxide mineralization responds positively to cyanidation. Residual gold contents following leaching in multiple series of bottle roll tests (conventional and coarse particle) appear to trend towards a typical range of ultimate values near 0.10 g/t Au. Leach kinetics were generally rapid in nature with low to moderate reagent consumptions (lime and cyanide). A limitednumber of column tests have been completed resulting in leach extractions consistent with those observed from bottle roll studies. Additional studies have been recommended to better define leaching parameters and any variability that may exist between the different mineralized zones and lithologies. The process design for the Cerro de Oro gold project includes crushing of high grade material to less than 3/4-7/8" (30-35% of total with remaining low grade sent to leach pad as run-of-mine), a heap leaching pad, solution ponds and carbon column recovery of gold from pregnant leach solutions. The current design excludes carbon desorption and gold refining facilities as gold-loaded carbon will be shipped off-site for final dore production. The overall plant design was based on a nominal rate of 7,000,000 tonnes per year of mineralized material stacked to the leach pad at an average grade of 0.4 g/t Au. Sufficient excess capacity is included in the design to allow for expected annual variations in mine production around these nominal values. Base case leach solution flow rate to the carbon column recovery area was set at 800 m3/h with allowances to expand to 1,200 m3/h to accommodate increases in annual production rates and/or an expansion in the overall project resources. The overall Cerro de Oro gold recovery facilities consist of the following unit operations and support facilities:Low grade run-of-mine material leach pad loading via direct truck dump; Two stage crushing (jaw and cone) and screening operations for higher grade mine material with conveyor/stacker transport to leach pad; Lined heap leach pad area sufficient to handle current life-of-mine resource (40-50% constructed initially as Phase 1 with subsequent expansions); Lined leach solution ponds adjacent to the leach pad - barren, pregnant and emergency overflow solution capacity; Four trains of 4 stage carbon in columns with area to expand to six trains; All required process pumping and loaded and barren carbon handling; Reagent preparation and storage facilities; Metallurgical laboratory (necessary production samples only); and Utilities including water supply system (surface wells) and diesel power generation.

Minera Alamos Inc. Provides an Update on the Continuing Progress At the Company's Santana Gold Mine Minera Alamos Inc. provide an update on the continuing progress at the Company's Santana gold mine. The development of the Nicho Main Zone ("NMZ") is now underway with haulage and access roads largely completed along with the removal of limited vegetation and surface cover. Following the initiation of mining activities and as the pit working areas opens up, the much larger scale of the NMZ compared to the current starter pit at Nicho Norte will help drive project mining rates to planned levels for the overall commercial operation. First mineralized material from the NMZ should be stacked on the Santana leach pad as operations move into the second half of the year and will help drive gold production rates higher. The Company has agreed to basic terms for a modest US$3 million unsecured working capital facility with Ocean Partners USA Inc. and definitive documentation is in the process of being finalized. The facility will bolster the Company's existing working capital and provide added financial flexibility to assist with short-term demands related to the expansion of site mining activities to incorporate production from both the Nicho Norte and NMZ open pits (cover lags between mining and the receipt of proceeds from ultimate gold recovery). Company management have an existing relationship with OP and anticipate that the new facility will serve as a starting point that can grow in scale as the Santana project operations expand. Gold mined and stacked on the leach pad to date totals approximately 18,000 oz with roughly 7,000 oz of gold recovered in concentrate. Operations in May have been seasonally impacted from the severe and ongoing drought that has affected Sonora for much of the last two years. Typical rainfall in the region from January to June is in the range of 120-150 mm. However, in 2021 this totalled 45 mm and in the current year less than 2 mm has accumulated to date forcing the Company to locate additional local sources of water to support operations. The upcoming rainy season (late June-September) is expected to recharge water reservoirs and allow for an acceleration of the recovery of gold stacked on the leach pads in Q3. Following receipt of its explosives storage permit, the Company has now fully transitioned all production drilling and blasting activities "in-house". The added flexibility this has provided has been significant in terms of explosive purchase options as well as better utilization of existing mine contractor personnel for drilling and blasting operations. Overall, the changes implemented to date have allowed for a greater than 80% reduction in overall blasting costs while allowing the Company increased efficiency in scheduling the sequences between blasting and mining operations. Efforts continue to further optimize blasting activities. The implementation of these improvements were critical prior to decisions related to the initiation of mining activities at the Nicho Main Zone. The Company's on-site lab should be complete and operational in the coming weeks in anticipation of first blasting at the NMZ. The faster sample assay turnaround provided by these facilities is also a critical pre-requisite to maintaining effective mine and plant production controls as site mining activities continue to increase.

Minera Alamos Inc. Announces Santana Project Operations Minera Alamos Inc. provided an update on the ongoing ramp-up of mining operations at the Santana gold mine, Sonora, Mexico. During the month of August, the Company continued to expand blasting and mining activities aimed at removing the upper portion of the Nicho Norte mineralized "pipe" which outcrops as a modest
topographic high at surface. Following the recent extraction of bench 895, the available working area has increased significantly to allow higher daily mining rates at the starter pit. Mining activities commenced in June 2021 but were constrained initially due to access limitations based on the topography of the Nicho Norte starter pit location. These limitations continue to decrease as additional benches are extracted and mining production levels expand accordingly. Mineralized material
from the early phases (June/July) was placed on the leach pad and utilized as test material for the final commissioning/optimization of the project processing equipment. Subsequently, the quantities of mineral stacked on the leach pad and available for gold extraction have grown in parallel with expanding mining
operations. Plans for the current ramp-up of mining operations underway at Nicho Norte were prepared with the goal of minimizing additional capital requirements conventionally utilized to remove significant amounts of "pre-stripping" material prior to the initiation of subsequent mining operations. Starter pit areas were instead selected which contained readily accessible quantities of mineralized material. Waste mined during this period (costs already accounted for in open pit mine plans) is being subjected to crushing (as required) and screening to extract overliner material to be placed on the leach pad (as a drainage layer)
in advance of stacking of mineral for gold extraction. Overliner and mineral placement will continue in parallel until such time as additional overliner is no longer required. The primary focus of the early ramp-up operations at Nicho Norte is to move the mine into commercial production while efficiently minimizing the upfront capital requirements. The scale of mining operations will continue to increase as the available working area for equipment in the starter pit expands with
depth. In addition, the amount of mineralized material available for gold extraction (as a % of the total material stacked on the leach pad) will also continue to increase. Currently a significant portion of this material (and the contained gold) is unavailable for recovery as it is located in areas being utilized as working surfaces for equipment to stack new material on the leach pad. This situation will continue to improve as the ramp-up continues. As the largest full bench extracted to date from the Nicho Norte starter pit, a basic review was performed for the 895m bench to understand gold distributions (location and concentration) contained in material mined. The company's practice is to take samples from every blasthole drilled in the pit which are then sent for gold analysis by an independent third-party laboratory. In total, the 895m bench contained 98,200 tonnes of material which included 62,800 tonnes of
mineralized material with gold contents in excess of the 0.15 g/t Au cut-off currently being used for mining operations. Executive Departure • Aug 03

Minera Alamos Inc. Provides an Operational Update for the Santana Gold Mine, Sonora, Mexico Minera Alamos Inc. provided an operational update for the Santana gold mine, Sonora, Mexico. The commissioning work at the Santana mine continues to proceed according to schedule with the gold recovery plant tested thoroughly and operational. This has occurred despite the significant rain fall covering southern Sonora in the first half of July. Given the vulnerable nature of the site at initial startup (large exposed leach pad areas and newly constructed excavations), Minera reported that overall the project proved extremely resilient to an exceptional rainfall event. The mine site saw in excess of an entire month of normal precipitation (200mm) over a two-week period and often in very concentrated windows. Some minor delays occurred with items such as final electrical hookups but the Company can report that all required plant electrical infrastructure is now in place and operational. In addition, improvements to areas of critical site drainage have been implemented which will be positive for future operations. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jul 22

This includes: blast designs suitable for efficient fragmentation of mined material; crushing circuit optimization to provide throughput maximization for material from the Nicho Norte pit; leach pad stacking plans; open pit haulage optimization and construction of roads for future pit development phases; and leach plant testing and reagent preparation. Initial blasting activities at the Nicho Norte pit have demonstrated the ability to achieve a high level of fragmentation allowing for a majority of mined material to bypass further crushing and be sent directly to the leach pad for gold recovery. It is currently expected that additional crushing requirements will be limited to zones of higher-grade material only. This will be handled by the mining contractor using portable crushing equipment.

Minera Alamos Inc. Executes the First Planned Production Blasts at the Nicho Norte Pit at the Santana Gold Mine in Sonora, Mexico Minera Alamos Inc. announced that this week, the Company successfully executed the first planned production blasts at the Nicho Norte pit at the Santana gold mine in Sonora, Mexico. With this inaugural blast successfully completed drilling has already begun on subsequent blasting as the Nicho Norte pit is opened up. The initial blasting at Nicho Norte provided excellent fragmentation and further optimization is planned as blasting operations continue. Stockpiling of the mineralized material is ongoing in advance of the initiation of screening and crushing activities. This first material will be used to test the leaching circuit and commission the carbon plant prior to continuous loading of the heap leach pad as the Company takes a prudent approach to ramping up operations at Santana throughout the remainder of 2021 ahead of more steady state operation in 2022 and beyond. The Company and Osisko Gold Royalties ("Osisko") have mutually agreed to extend the option period of the La Fortuna royalty agreement until May 15th 2022. The extension provides additional time for the Company to evaluate project development sequencing following the start up of operations at the Santana gold mine and to maintain financing flexibility for the construction capital required for the building of a gold operation at the La Fortuna project. The Company does not have a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability for the Santana project, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Price Target Changed • May 20

Minera Alamos Inc. Reports Mineral Resource Estimate of 630,000 Ounces Contained Gold Minera Alamos Inc. announced the positive results of an independent estimate of the Mineral Resources at the Cerro de Oro Project (the "Project") in Zacatecas, Mexico. The Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") by Talisker Exploration Services Inc. Inferred Mineral Resource estimate containing 630,000 ounces of oxide gold mineralization (48 million tonnes at 0.41 g/t gold). The resource estimate was prepared using an economic pit shell at a gold price of $1,450 per ounce resulting in a total enclosed pit volume containing 59 million tonnes. The Company has identified a number of high priority target areas for future drill programs aimed at expanding the known mineralized areas. A limited number of diamond drill holes have demonstrated the potential for sulphide mineralization to extend to depth below the current estimate area. Talisker Exploration Services Inc. of Toronto, Ontario estimates the Cerro de Oro Project, using a gold price of USD 1,450/oz and a cut-off grade of 0.18 g/t, has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 48 million tonnes grading 0.41 g/t gold or 630,000 ounces of contained gold. The Cerro de Oro Project is a porphyry gold system with associated skarn halos and disseminated and veinlet-controlled gold mineralization characterized by the development of magnetite and quartz veins (A and B veins). These veins developed during an early potassic alteration phase and were later overprinted by silica and sericite (phyllic overprinting) within the inter-mineral porphyritic intrusive phases that form part of a larger intrusive complex. The inaugural resource estimate incorporates a total of 84 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (7,112 metres) and twelve diamond drill holes (3,786 metres) including 50 RC holes (4,272 metres) drilled by Minera Mexico Pacific S.A. de C.V in 2017 and 2018 and 34 RC holes (2,840 metres) drilled by Noranda. All of the diamond drill holes were completed by Noranda from 1996 through 1998. Drilling to date has focused on the oxide zone with the majority of oxide holes drilled to depths of 60 to 160 metres. The diamond drill holes were drilled to depths of 80m to 645m to identify mineralization at depth. Future Plans With the completion of this inaugural resource estimate, the Company will continue to advance engineering studies that are already underway and which will serve as the basis for permit application submittals in the coming months. Additional activities are to include: ��Mastercard Advances Multi-Rail Strategy to Modernize Business Payments Business WireThe preparation of a detailed geological model covering the entire land package controlled by the Company and incorporating all currently available data combined with additional surface mapping, and ground mag studies; Initiation of a new drill program aimed at expanding the known zones of mineralization both laterally and at depth; Further metallurgical testing to optimize size/recovery relationships for the oxide mineralization as well as to determine the amenability of the sulphide zone for heap leach gold recovery; Completion of surface rights agreements to allow for permitting and development of a gold heap leach production operation; A hydrogeological study for the property to locate high priority targets for water sources suitable for a heap leach gold operation.

Minera Alamos Inc. Updates on Fast-Track Development Activities for the Newly Acquired Cerro De Oro Gold Project in Zacatecas, Mexico Minera Alamos Inc. announced an update on fast-track development activities for the newly acquired Cerro de Oro gold project in Zacatecas, Mexico. The majority of the metallurgical testwork completed on samples from the Cerro de Oro project was performed during the 2017 to 2019 period. Data from this preliminary work is being utilized as a starting basis for engineering designs that are currently underway. Minera Alamos has initiated a new program of metallurgical studies to provide additional details prior to the completion of final engineering designs. The testwork completed to date consists predominantly of standard bottle roll cyanidation studies on reverse circulation exploration chips (<2mm particle size) although a few coarse rock bottle and column tests were also completed on samples of surface material. Samples were taken from both of the main mineralized lithological units (endoskarns and hornfels). Although largely oxide samples there were a limited number of mixed sulphide transition zone samples also tested. The highlights from the metallurgical studies completed to date are as follows: Gold mineralization appears to be well disseminated through the host rock with little correlation to rock particle size distributions; Oxide gold mineralization responds positively to gold cyanidation with residual gold contents (unrecovered gold) typically in the range of 0.1 g/t Au or lower regardless of variations in sample head grades; Bottle roll test samples had an average head grade of 0.42 g/t Au (similar for oxide and mixed sulphide transition material) corresponding to a metallurgical recovery of in excess of 75%; Leach recovery kinetics were generally rapid (majority of gold extracted from RC chips in less than 24 hours); Bottle roll tests using coarse particle sizes produced gold recoveries similar to those observed with RC chip samples; Three column samples resulted in leach extractions consistent with those performed using coarse bottle roll methods; and Reagent consumptions were consistently in the low to moderate range expected for heap leach gold projects. Although the majority of the metallurgical work completed to date has focussed on the oxide mineralization in the Cerro de Oro deposit the results from a limited number of mixed oxide/sulphide transition samples did not appear significantly different than what was observed with the oxide material. A single sulphide sample of RC chip material was recently tested by Minera Alamos using bottle roll cyanidation. The samples available for this round of testing had a head grade that was lower than typical values (0.16 g/t Au), however gold recoveries were approaching 70% at the end of the test (72 hours) and appeared to still be increasing. Although additional work will be required the limited results available to date on sulphide (and mixed oxide/sulphide) mineralization from the project appear to indicate that these deeper extensions of gold mineralization (largely undrilled) may also be suitable for heap leach gold extraction. The upcoming metallurgical program planned for the project aims to confirm the results from previous studies and to further optimize the parameters to be utilized for construction of a heap leach gold facility at the project. This will include: Coarse bottle (and possibly column) leach optimization studies to evaluate crush size/gold recovery relationships; Leach studies to specifically examine areas of mineralization associated with reduced host rock permeability and elevated copper contents; Sulphide mineralization leach studies; Hardness/abrasivity studies for major rock lithologies; and Rock density determinations for different lithologies within the deposit.
