The Çamyurt Gold deposit is high-sulphidation, epithermal gold deposit. Gold mineralization at Çamyurt is hosted within Miocene age andesitic tuffs or felsic volcanic rocks and phreatic breccias typical in some deposits of this type.

The Çamyurt deposit will be mined by conventional open pit hard rock mining methods. Alamos Gold plans to utilize a contract mining company to move the mineralized material and waste from the pit.

Çamyurt will be developed on the basis that the Project will have minimal stand-alone infrastructure. Mineralized material from Çamyurt will be mined and trucked approximately 8 km to be processed through the infrastructure at Agi Dagi once the Baba and Deli pits have been mined out.

A traditional drill, blast, load and haul sequence will be used to deliver mineralized material to the crushing circuit at Agi Dagi. Waste produced over the life of the mine will be sent to the waste rock dump located near the Çamyurt pit, or backfilled into the pit once the ultimate pit bottom has been achieved.

Çamyurt has been designed as a 15,000 t/d mining operation with mineralized material to be hauled approximately 8 km to the crushing circuit at Agi Dagi where it will be processed by primary and secondary crushing to a nominal size of 26 mm. The secondary crushed mineralized material will be drum agglomerated, stacked on the leach pad by conveyor stacking and processed with conventional heap leaching methods.

The crushed mineralized material will be stacked in 10 m lifts on the Agi Dagi leach pad facility which will be expanded in three phases and have an ultimate capacity of 73.6 Mt. This is sufficient to accommodate the 54.4 Mt Agi Dagi Mineral Reserve and 16.6 Mt of mineralized material included in the PEA mine plan for Çamyurt. A dilute cyanide solution will be applied to the crushed mineralized material over a 90-day leaching cycle with the pregnant solution collected and processed through the ADR plant where gold and silver doré will be produced.
