Metallurgical studies indicate gold recoveries of 94.8% and 97.6%, respectively for 2
separate composites of core samples from Red Cliff DDH-12-MON-61.
Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade”) reports that metallurgical studies were
completed on core from DDH-12-MON-61 from t he Red Cliff property located in the “Golden
Triangle” area of British Columbia. Samples were from cut core and included the interval from
173.93 to 190.24 m (Red Cliff #1) and 200-208.99 m (Red Cliff #2). Within the intervals, gold
is associated with sphalerit e-galena stringers as well a separate pyrite-chalcopyrite
stockwork. A summary of the work by SGS Minerals Ltd is quoted below:
“Gravity tests were conducted on the two co mposites by passing the ground pulp to a
Knelson concentrator followed by Mozley t able upgrading. The composites responded well to
gravity concentration and 54.2% and 78.2% of gol d on average were recovered into gravity
concentrate at 447 g/t Au and 1618 g/t Au grade respectively for Red Cliff 1 and Red Cliff 2.
Batch cleaner flotation tests were performed on whole ore from the two composites to
produce a Cu-Pb bulk concentrate and a zinc cleaner concentrate. The composites
responded well to conventional flotation. For R ed Cliff 1, the Cu/Pb bulk cleaner concentrate
assayed 25.8% Cu, 7.86% Pb, 4.12% Zn and 323 g/t Au at recoveries of 88.1% copper,
79.2% lead and 81.7% gold. For Red Cliff 2, t he concentrate assayed 25.7% Cu, 6.98% Pb,
3% Zn and 256 g/t Au at recoveries of 93. 1% copper, 67.1% lead and 76.0% gold. The
results were achieved from batch cleaner test s and the recoveries will be higher when locked
cycle flotation tests are conducted. Optimization is needed to improve zinc flotation for both
composites.
Pre-concentration and flotation tests were per formed on the two composites and very good
results were obtained. The copper grades were 25.2-25.4% at recoveries of 80.8-81.9%. The
lead grades in the bulk cleaner concentrates were 6.95-8.58% at recoveries of 66.6-71.5%.
The combined Pb recoveries (gra vity + flotation) were 76% and 83.1% respectively for Red
Cliff 1 and Red Cliff 2. Gold reco veries were high for the two composites and the total gold
recoveries (gravity + Cu-Pb Conc) were 90. 4% and 96.4% respectively for Red Cliff 1 and
Red Cliff 2. The zinc rougher tailings were s ubjected to cyanidation and additional 4.4% and
1.2% of gold were leached out. The overall gold recoveries were 94.8% and 97.6%,
respectively for Red Cliff 1 and Red Cliff 2.”
Ed Kruchkowski, president of the Company st ates: “We are extremely pleased with the gold
recoveries as well as the recoveries for l ead and copper. Our view wa s that only the gold
would be a significant credit to the project but it appears that other metals will be as well”.
Drilling is continuing on the north side of Lydden Creek and it is expect ed that the last hole
will be completed in the next few days. Road cons truction is underway to fix an existing road
and create pads for 8 to 10 holes on the Waterpump zone. In addition a surveyor is creating a
data base with GPS locations for a ll holes as well as the elevations. This data will be used to
create a new model that show s grade shells. The Company will also use the existing 2007-
2012 and 2017 data to prepare a preliminary resource calculation for the Montrose zone.
