This NI 43-101 Technical Report covers the El Castillo Gold Mine located in Durango, Mexico, operated by Argonaut Resources. As of December 2021, the mine operates as a ROM-only heap leaching facility following the discontinuation of ore crushing at the end of 2019. The operation treats approximately 24,000 tonnes per day of run-of-mine ore across two leach pads, the East and West pads.

This section of the 2024 Technical Report details the recovery methods for the Santa Fe Project, located in Nevada, USA. The project utilizes a standard heap leaching process designed to recover gold and silver from oxide and transitional ore types. The processing plant is designed for a throughput of 12,500 tonnes per day, with an expected annual throughput of 4.563 million tonnes. The mine is currently in the development phase, with processing scheduled to begin in Year 1.

The Lavoie Project Preliminary Economic Assessment assumes ore will be transported 365 km to the Matoush property for off-site processing. To mitigate transportation costs, automated ore sorting technology utilizing radiometric sensors is proposed. This system separates uranium-bearing ore from gangue on an individual rock basis by measuring gamma ray emissions, reducing the volume of material to be transported by approximately 42%.

This technical report section outlines the recovery methods and processing plant facilities at the Irokinda mine. The plant operates year-round with a main throughput of approximately 230,000 t/y and a third processing line of 40,000 t/y. The metallurgical process utilizes gravity and flotation circuits to produce a gravity concentrate for smelting and a flotation concentrate for off-site CIP treatment at the Zun-Holba mine. The facility includes crushing, grinding, gravity concentration, flotation, and tailings storage. A site inspection in May 2012 confirmed the plant was well maintained.

The Rosh Pinah processing plant has been in continuous production since 1969. It utilizes conventional size reduction and mineral beneficiation unit processes to treat ore from the Eastern and Western Orefields. The plant currently treats 0.68 to 0.71 Mtpa, producing approximately 50 to 60 ktpa of zinc concentrate and 4.5 to 7.5 ktpa of lead concentrate.

This Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) outlines the processing methods for the Kings Valley Lithium Project. The plant is designed for a throughput of 2,100 tpd, operating 365 days per year. The facility consists of a dry ore preparation circuit and a wet recovery circuit. Key products include Lithium Carbonate (Li2CO3), Potassium Sulfate (K2SO4), and Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4). The process utilizes roll crushers, Raymond mills, and a rotary calciner for ore preparation, followed by agitated tank leaching and crystallization for product recovery.

This technical report outlines the proposed mineralised material treatment route for the Solwara 1 project by Nautilus. Currently, there are no Mineral Reserve estimates, and the potential viability has not been supported by a pre-feasibility or feasibility study. The terms mineralised material and material denote mineralised material above an economic cut-off grade on which the proposed mining, processing, and product shipping activities are designed to operate.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report presents a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Record Ridge Project in British Columbia, Canada, developed by WHY Resources. The study outlines a process to extract magnesium from magnesium oxide bearing material with a treatment rate of 3,000 tonnes per day. The proposed flowsheet utilizes a hydrometallurgical approach involving crushing, grinding, and sulfuric acid leaching to recover magnesium.

This section of the NI 43-101 Technical Report details the metallurgical testing and process route selection for the COSE Project. SGS Minerals Services in Santiago, Chile conducted a series of tests on 25 composite samples derived from 70 individual samples across oxidized, partially oxidized, and non-oxidized portions of fault-hydrothermal breccia hosted and veinlet gold mineralization. The testing included screen fire assays, gravitational concentration using a Knelson concentrator, and bottle roll cyanide leaching tests.
