Summary:
The principal model for gold mineralization at the Agi Dagi and Çamyurt Gold Properties is a highsulphidation, epithermal gold deposit. Premier examples of this kind of deposit in the world are Yanacocha, Pierina and Alto Chicama in Peru. Most high sulphidation deposits are large, low-grade bulk-tonnage systems (Yanacocha), though vein-hosted high-sulphidation deposits also occur (El Indio).
At Agi Dagi, gold mineralization is associated with felsic volcanic rocks of Miocene age and a northeast trending silica cap rock about 4 km x 2 km in extent which forms a topographic high 700 to 900 m in relief. The gold mineralization is disseminated and associated with intensely silicified, vuggy, oxidized and brecciated rocks hosted in volcanic felsic to intermediate tuffs and occasionally phreatic breccia bodies. Hydrothermal-type breccias (crackle, jigsaw, hydrothermal) are most common in this siliceous alteration. Pyrite is by far the most abundant primary sulphide mineral associated with gold. Trace to minor amounts of enargite, covellite, galena and molybdenum are present locally.
Five main zones of gold mineralization are present at Agi Dagi: the Baba, Ayi Tepe, Fire Tower, Ihlamur and Deli Zones. The most important ones in term of resources and intensity of drilling are Baba and Deli. The Baba, Fire Tower and Deli zones are on the east side of the mountain top along a silicified dacite basin – phreatic breccia northeast-southwest trend. Gold mineralizatio ........

Summary:
Project includes the planned development of the Baba and Deli pits, together with all other process
and infrastructure facilities.
The Baba and Deli deposits will be mined by conventional open pit hard rock mining methods. Alamos Gold plans to utilize a contract mining company to move the ore and waste from the pits.
Compared with typical mining practices in North America, Turkish contractors generally utilize small backhoe loading units with relatively small haul trucks. The mine geometries have been designed with the assumption that mining will be completed by a Turkish contractor with 3 to 4 m3 backhoes and 35 to 40 t trucks. Phase and final pit design parameters are:
- Bench Height: 5 m;
- Road Width: 12 m;
- Maximum Road Gradient: 10%.
Mine waste will be sent to one of three locations: the waste rock dump (WRD) located north of the Deli pit, the HLF foundation (west of the WRD) as engineered fill, and to pit backfill. During preproduction, waste rock will be mined to provide construction material for the HLF foundation and if needed for haul roads outside the pit and building foundations.
