Tudor Gold Launches Preliminary Economic Assessment on Treaty Creek Project

Core Viewpoint - Tudor Gold Corp. has engaged Fuse Advisors Inc. to conduct a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the Goldstorm Deposit at the Treaty Creek Project, focusing on the potential for underground mining operations targeting higher-grade gold mineralization [1][2]. PEA Terms of Reference - The PEA will explore an underground mining operation with a production capacity of up to 10,000 tonnes per day, aiming to define mineralized material of approximately 50 million to 100 million tonnes with a grade exceeding 2.5 grams per tonne gold [2]. - The assessment will incorporate final metallurgical recoveries from an ongoing metallurgical program to develop a project flowsheet and economic analysis [2]. Metallurgical Program - The metallurgical program, initiated in late 2025, is focused on producing a sulphide gold concentrate and evaluating the potential for a copper concentrate through a sequential flotation process [3]. - Preliminary testwork suggests that a sequential copper-pyrite flotation circuit could yield marketable concentrates with target grades of 15 to 25 g/t gold and 26 to 28% copper, with overall recoveries estimated at 80% to 90% for gold, 75% to 85% for silver, and 75% to 85% for copper [4]. Mineral Resource Estimate - The 2026 Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) for the Goldstorm Deposit was based on 359 diamond drill holes totaling 191,466 meters, confirming the presence of higher-grade gold, silver, and copper mineralization [7]. - The MRE reports an indicated resource of 912.3 million tonnes at a gold grade of 0.85 g/t, and an inferred resource of 86.1 million tonnes at a gold grade of 1.43 g/t [8]. Proposed Timing - Initial results from the metallurgical program are expected by the end of the current quarter, with the PEA targeted for completion in the third quarter of this year [6]. Company Overview - Tudor Gold Corp. is focused on precious and base metals exploration and development in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, with the Treaty Creek Project covering 17,913 hectares and an 80% interest held by the company [15].
