The final recoveries for gold, copper and silver from the Phase Three Metallurgical Program ("Phase Three Program") with tail assays incorporated into the calculated head assays were 88% for gold, 63% for silver and 69% for copper (see notes 1 to 4 to Table 1 below). These results far exceed the recoveries used in the
Industry practice is to reduce column test results by a nominal amount for application to a heap leach pad. Accordingly, the metal recoveries to be used in the 2025 PEA Update have been reduced by a nominal amount from the final Phase Three Program results. See Table 1 below for a comparison of the metal recoveries for the 2025 PEA based on the Phase Three results to the metal recoveries used in the 2024 PEA.
