Tudor Gold Announces Metallurgical Test Work and
Preliminary Baseline Studies for Treaty Creek
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2020) - Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (FSE: TUC) (
the "Company"
or "Tudor Gold"
) is pleased to announce initiation of metallurgical studies for the Company's flagship project, Treaty Creek,
located in the Golden Triangle of north-west British Columbia.
This study will focus on the mineral characteristics and the
prospects of developing Treaty Creek as a bulk tonnage mining target using conventional processing techniques. The test work
will be conducted on material selected from the extensive continuously mineralized drill core intervals encountered in the 2019
exploration program.
The metallurgical test results will be used as part of the initial economic assessment for the project.
The metallurgical study will be managed under the direction of Frank Wright, P.Eng., of F. Wright Consulting Inc, of Delta BC.
The related laboratory test program will be conducted at Bureau Veritas Minerals - Metallurgical Division of Richmond, BC (BV).
BV is a globally recognized and certified testing facility with customers ranging from small independent operators to large multi-
national mining firms and consultants.
Mr. Wright has over 30 years of experience consisting of both operations and consulting in
the fields of mineral processing and hydrometallurgy. His career has included the last 20 years as a qualified independent
professional engineer managing process advancement for projects worldwide, although primarily focused in BC.
His work
includes oversight of test programs leading to the selected process flowsheet and design criteria, related technical reporting,
supervision of detailed engineering, and assisting in project commissioning.
The Company is also pleased to announce an agreement with RTEC (a joint venture partnership between ERM Consultants
Canada Ltd. (ERM) and the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC)), to begin preliminary baseline studies that will be
required for provincial permitting of the Treaty Creek project. These baseline studies will focus on surface water quality,
hydrology, atmospherics, wildlife and archaeology.
Tudor Gold's Vice President of Project Development, Ken Konkin, P.Geo., states
:
"The metallurgical test work and
baseline studies will provide crucial data to further our project development plans. These studies will serve as templates for
on-going studies aimed to carry the project forward to more advanced stages. Both studies will begin in conjunction with the
2020 diamond drill hole exploration program that is planned to start this spring. In addition, our geologists will select
representative composite samples from last year's drill holes as the basis for our preliminary metallurgical studies."
The safety and wellbeing of Tudor Gold employees, contractors, and communities we work in is of upmost importance. The
Company
has developed new operational guidelines to reduce the chance of spread of the COVID-19 virus while conducting our
work, which has been deemed as essential service by the Provincial Government.
