Executive Summary
This NI 43-101 Technical Report covers the Merlin deposit within the Expanded Silicon Project in southwest Nevada. The deposit is wholly owned by AngloGold Ashanti North America Inc. and is located on BLM-managed land in the Bare Mountain Range. The project is currently in the exploration and development phase, with recommendations to advance to a prefeasibility study.
Metallurgical testwork indicates the ore is amenable to heap leaching and milling with Carbon-in-Leach (CIL). Recoveries for heap leaching are estimated at 70% for gold and 12% for silver after HPGR crushing. Milling recoveries are estimated at 94% for gold and 22% for silver after grinding to 106µm. The Qualified Person concludes that the Mineral Resource estimates are reported in accordance with the 2014 CIM Definition Standards.
Processing Profile
- Crushing: High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) to 100% passing 12.5mm
- Milling: CIL after grinding to 106µm (30 hours)
