This Pre-Feasibility Study (PEA) Technical Report outlines the mineral processing design for the Duyker Eiland Project in the Western Cape, South Africa. The processing design is based on experience from similar operations and exploratory test work conducted at the University of Cape Town Chemical Engineering Department. The proposed circuit aims to achieve a phosphate concentrate grade of 33% P2O5 or better with an estimated overall recovery of 85%.

The El Mochito mine is an underground operation located in Honduras, utilizing Shaft #2 for ore hoisting. The processing facility has a nameplate capacity of 2,300 t/d, with normal throughput frequently achieving 2,450 t/d or more. The mine operates on a 3-shift daily basis with a staff of 124 persons at the mill and crushing facilities. The facility was observed to be in reasonably good operating condition during the February 2018 P&E visit, with generally good housekeeping and worker safety standards.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report outlines the Feasibility Study for the LabMag Taconite Project, developed by New Millennium Iron Corp. The project is located in the Labrador Trough, south of the Quebec border, and focuses on the extraction and processing of magnetite-bearing taconite ore. The design is based on extensive laboratory and pilot plant test work conducted between 2005 and 2013, ensuring the viability of the proposed processing circuit. The project aims to produce high-grade iron ore pellets and concentrate for the global steel market, with a strategic off-take agreement anticipated with Tata Steel Europe.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report Update outlines the recovery methods for the Wind Mountain project, focusing on a conventional Run of Mine (ROM) Cyanidation Heap Leaching process followed by Merrill Crowe solution processing. The design basis targets a daily production rate of 20,000 tons per day (tpd) with head grades of 0.011 opt Au and 0.254 opt Ag. The process is designed to achieve metal recoveries of 62 percent for gold and 15 percent for silver, utilizing a leach pad with HDPE lining and drip irrigation systems for solution application.

This technical report details the recovery methods and processing plant operations for the El Bagre Gold Mining Complex operated by Soma Gold Corp. The plant is designed to process ore at a rate of 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd). The recovery circuit involves a three-stage crushing process reducing ore from 203 mm to 7 mm, followed by grinding in a ball mill circuit. The process integrates flash flotation, intensive cyanide leaching, and conventional flotation to maximize gold and silver recovery.

The 3Q Project is a lithium brine extraction and processing facility designed to produce 20,000 tonnes per year of Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate (Li2CO3) over a 35-year mine life. The project utilizes a multi-site approach involving brine extraction at the 3Q Salar, intermediate processing at the Fiambalá Site, and final product manufacturing at the Recreo Site. Production is staged across three phases to accommodate declining lithium grades in the brine over time.

This section of the Technical Report outlines the Recovery Methods for the Mine 14 Project, focusing on the design and operation of a Coal Preparation Plant (CPP). Summit intends to sell the Mine 14 coal into export metallurgical coal markets. Due to the high ash content of the Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal (+15% adb), processing is required to reduce ash below 8% db to meet market specifications. Dr. Peter J. Bethell of Bethell Processing Solutions LLC was engaged to design the CPP flowsheet, which serves as the basis for permitting and construction specifications.

The Blanket Gold Mine plant operates as a conventional crushing, milling, Carbon-in-Leach (CIL), batch elution, and smelting facility. The plant is currently designed to process Run of Mine (RoM) ore at a rate of 70.1 kilotonnes per month (ktpm). While the crushing and milling circuits are optimized for RoM, the CIL and downstream circuits were originally designed to treat tailings dam material at a higher rate of approximately 110 ktpm. The facility utilizes a combination of gravity concentration and leaching to recover gold, with historic production data from 2012 to 2022 showing an average milled tonnage of 752 kt/yr and an overall recovery rate averaging 93.41%.
