This technical report presents the results of an optimization study for the Yenipazar polymetallic project located in Yozgat Province, Turkey, with an effective date of April 15, 2014.
Report context
The Yenipazar Project Optimization Study technical report was prepared for Aldridge Minerals Inc. with an effective date of April 15, 2014, and a signing date of May 23, 2014. The report documents an optimization study building upon prior feasibility work, the most recent being the "Technical Report and Feasibility Study on the Yenipazar Polymetallic Project, Yozgat Province, Turkey" with an effective date of April 3, 2013. The project is a polymetallic deposit situated in Yozgat Province, Turkey.
Processing route
Comminution
The processing plant design includes a grinding circuit for mill feed. Testwork for grinding circuit design was conducted by Orway Mineral Consultants Canada Ltd., with Aron Cleugh, P.Eng., as the qualified person responsible for item 13.2 of the report and co-authoring content pertaining to mill feed grinding in the process plant.
Metallurgical testing
Metallurgical testing for plant design purposes was overseen by Michael Peter Hallewell, C.Eng., of SGS Minerals Services UK Ltd., who served as Principal Metallurgist. Hallewell assumed responsibility for item 13.5 of the report. The testwork programme was designed to provide data for process plant design and recovery method determination.
Recovery methods
The recovery methods section of the report (Item 17, excluding 17.3) was Graham Holmes, P.Eng., who served as Senior Process Specialist – Mineral Processing with Jacobs Minerals Canada Inc. The process plant design was developed based on the metallurgical testwork results and comminution testwork.
