Crestaurum Historical Metallurgy

1985 Program: 44 samples of drill core rejects from 7 drill holes – we have

re-sampled all 7 holes and verified the grades

Composite A

•Drill grade of 0.357 oz/ton (cut to 1 oz/t as per resource estimate)

•Drill grade un-cut 0.627 oz/ton

•Calculated metallurgical head grade 0.72 oz/ton

Composite B

•Drill grade of 0.297 oz/ton (cut to 1 oz/t as per resource estimate)

•Drill grade un-cut 0.397 oz/ton

•Calculated metallurgical head grade 0.454 oz/ton

Findings (Quoted from Report*)

Using Direct Cyanide (Free Milling Method)

“Both composites were determined to be free milling and best suited for a straight

cyanidation process…expected to yield recoveries in the order of 95%.”

Using Refractory Recovery Method (Roasting) – The process used at Giant Mine

“Very low recoveries of about 44-62% were obtained…an alternative method of

processing would be necessary.”
