Executive Summary

  • Getchell Gold Corp. announced an expanded 2025 metallurgical study at the Fondaway Canyon gold project to refine processing, upgrade concentrate grade, and assess market‑ready composition.
  • The prior 2024 study showed strong results (84 % gold recovery, low‑weight high‑grade concentrate) and confirmed that deleterious elements are not present in quantities that would hinder concentrate sales.
  • Objectives for the 2025 work include increasing gold recoveries, maximizing grade, minimizing mass pull, and verifying multi‑element composition; outcomes will feed into the next Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) iteration later this year.

Key Details

  • Scope Expansion: 2025 metallurgical test work now targets process improvements identified in 2024 to boost recovery and concentrate quality.
  • 2024 Results Recap:
  • Gold recoveries of 84 % via conventional flotation.
  • Produced a low‑weight, high‑grade concentrate suitable for third‑party smelters or pressure oxidation facilities.
  • Multi‑element analysis indicated no significant deleterious elements affecting marketability.
  • 2025 Study Goals:
    1. Test and refine process methods from 2024 to increase gold recoveries.
    2. Maximize gold grade of the concentrate.
    3. Minimize mass pull (percentage of ore feed ending up in concentrate).
    4. Verify multi‑element composition for market compliance.
  • Economic Implications Highlighted:
  • Higher recovery → improved project economics.
  • Higher concentrate grade → greater marketability and potential price premium.
  • Lower mass pull → reduced shipping, handling, and toll milling costs.
  • Reduced deleterious elements → fewer milling penalties and broader smelter options.
  • Timeline: The 2025 metallurgical study will run through the end of 2025, with results to be incorporated into the next PEA iteration.
  • Qualified Person: Patrick McLaughlin, P.Geo., (non‑independent) reviewed and approved the technical information.
