Gatling Reports Positive Preliminary Metallurgical Testing Results at the Larder Gold Project - Seite 3

Additional Tests to be Considered to Achieve Historical Gold Recoveries

A report from 1990 completed by Derry, Michener, Booth and Wahl (DMBW) for Northfield Minerals Inc. on the Cheminis Mine ("Report on The Cheminis Project, McGarry and McVittie Townships, Ontario, N.T.S.:32D/4, June 5. 1990. Derry, Michener, Booth and Wahl") stated that a 3,800 tonne bulk sample at a 0.15 oz/t Au grade from the mined out C zone was sent to the Kerr Mill and returned gold recoveries of 94% utilizing a more comprehensive flowsheet. Therefore, additional mineralogical and metallurgical test work will be conducted to investigate potential areas of optimization and to test recoveries at lower grades for those areas which show potential to be mined via open pit. These would include:

• Characterization of the samples to include chemical and mineralogical and/or sequential diagnostic leaching
• Optimization of cyanidation conditions, which may include varying parameters by grind size, cyanide concentration, aeration, and lead nitrate addition
• Investigation into different flowsheet options: whole ore (direct cyanidation), flotation (leach to concentrate), and gravity CN
• Definition of the variability of the deposits to better understand the gold associations

In addition, Gatling remains on schedule to deliver its global 43-101 mineral resource update before the end of Q3.
