Core Viewpoint - American Creek Resources Ltd. and its joint venture partner Tudor Gold have announced positive results from metallurgical testing on the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, indicating high recoveries of copper, gold, and silver, which support the project's economic viability [1][2]. Metallurgical Testing Results - Flotation recoveries from the Lower CS-600 sub-domain reached up to 88.1% for copper, 63.8% for gold, and 51.3% for silver [2]. - A high-grade copper concentrate was produced, exceeding 29% copper with gold and silver grades of 33 g/t and 96 g/t, respectively [2][6]. - The testing program supports previously reported gold recoveries of 90% for the Lower CS-600 domain, indicating strong potential for a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) [2][4]. Project Development Insights - The CS-600L sub-domain is estimated to contain over 50% of the CS-600 Domain, and the results significantly de-risk the Goldstorm project regarding metallurgical characteristics [3][4]. - The project aims to produce at least 500,000 AuEQ ounces per year, with the lower portion of CS-600 having sufficient volume to support mining and processing of 40,000 tons per day over 17 years [5][10]. - The Goldstorm Deposit has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces of AuEQ, with a grading of 1.19 g/t AuEQ [10][11]. Future Focus and Recommendations - The engineering team recommends initial metallurgical tests on material from the newly discovered Supercell-1 (SC-1) high-grade gold complex [3][4]. - Additional tests are planned for the northernmost part of CS-600 and continued testing on the upper CS-600 [5]. - The favorable metallurgical results will guide trade-off studies for recovery versus costs, aiming to optimize the project's economic path forward [5][9].
