Summary:

The Elk Gold Project is indicative of a reduced intrusive-related, structurally controlled quartz vein system. The gold- and silver-bearing quartz veins have historically been characterized as mesothermal based on fluid inclusion studies. The fluid inclusions within quartz crystals in the veins indicate gold mineralization formed at a minimum temperature of 250°C and a pressure of 2.5 kbar, corresponding to lithostatic pressure at a depth of 7 km (Geiger, 2000). Considerable open space within the veins, not related to weathered pyrite, suggests a much shallower vein emplacement, and more study will be needed to resolve the apparent conflict. The vein systems consist of structurally controlled; narrow, pyritic quartz veins hosted in granitic as well as volcanic rocks near the contact between these two primary lithologies. Emplacement of quartz veins is thought to be related to Tertiary Otter intrusions.

The Property hosts nine zones containing gold mineralization, including Siwash North, Siwash East, Gold Creek, Lake, End, Discovery, South, Bullion, and Nicola.

Gold mineralization occurs within quartz-sulphide veins and stringers, most often within phyllic- and silica-altered Osprey Lake rocks and adjacent phyllic- and silica-altered Nicola volcanic rocks. Pyrite is the most common sulphide (Conroy, 1994), ranging from 5% to 80%, with higher percentages often associated with chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. Gold occurs asfine-grained free gold (typically le ........

Summary:

The Elk Gold Project is envisioned to be developed as a conventional open pit mine. The operation will begin as a 70,000 t/a toll milling mine for three years. During Year 3 of operations, a 324,000 t/a mill will be constructed on site, which will commission starting in Year 4.

During Years 1 to 3, mineralized material is excavated from the open pit and placed on a limestone-capped stockpile pad. Material on the stockpile pad will be sampled and assayed for metal accounting before being shipped via highway dump trucks to a nearby mineral processing plant. Numerous potential mineral processing facilities exist within hauling distance of the Elk Gold Project.

It is anticipated that once the initial operation is underway, the owners will investigate and initiate an Environmental Assessment (EA) review, which would be required to expand the mine. This PEA envisages that by Year 4 of operations an EA Certificate will be received, and a 900 t/d processing plant will be assembled on site. The change to 900 t/d and on-site milling reduces the projected processing costs and therefore also decreases the mined cut-off grade.

Non-mineralized rock will be stockpiled in a rock management storage facility (RMSF) located west of the open pit, which is designed to have a low prominence and have 2H:1V slopes that will be capped with overburden and topsoil upon mine closure.

The total mine life will be 10 years, including processing 2.4 Mt of miner ........
