Upper Beaver Deposit — PEA Report No. 239

Company Queenston Mining Inc.
Commodities Copper, Gold

Executive Summary

This Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines the recovery methods for the Upper Beaver Deposit. Based on metallurgical testwork, a conventional process flowsheet is selected. The process involves crushing and grinding to a 70 micron grind at an average rate of 2,000 tpd. Copper is recovered via flotation to a rougher concentrate, which is then reground and re-floated in a two-stage cleaner circuit. The final concentrate is filtered to 8% moisture for shipment. Flotation tailings undergo leaching in a conventional cyanidation circuit to recover gold.

Executive Summary

This Independent Technical Report covers the Upper Beaver gold-copper Project in Canada. The report is based on a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and references metallurgical testwork from Section 13 of the PEA report.

The selected process flowsheet is conventional, involving crushing and grinding to a 70 micron grind at an average rate of 2,000 tpd. Copper recovery is achieved via flotation to a rougher concentrate, which is then reground and re-floated in a two-stage cleaner circuit. The final concentrate is filtered to 8 percent moisture for shipment. Gold recovery is handled via cyanidation of the flotation tailings.
