Message: Tailings and Mill Clean-up

From page 35 of NI 43-101 Resource Estimate. P.A. Bevan Oct 18, 2008 for Beattie - Donchester Mines Duparquet, Quebec.

"In addition to the above, there are the following inferred tonnages and grades from the
following sources:
1) Broken ore remaining in the Glory Hole 291,206 tonnes grading 4.11 g.Au/t
2) Small Tailings Area 44,836 tonnes grading 2.92 g.Au/t
3) Large Tailings Area 9,629,244 tonnes grading 0.92 g.Au/t
of which 84.7% is recoverable

Meas. + Ind. 1,682,989 4.096 6,892,935.3 221,617
Inferred 3,721,016 3.491 12,989,913 417,642
Large Tailings (inferred) 9,629,244 0.92 84.7% recoverable"

That’s inferred resource, already estimated.

With additional investigation into other on-site sources of gold bearing mining by-products; mill feed spills, concentrate spills, build up of rock in ball mills, between mill plates, mill processing residues, these sources should add readily available/recoverable ounces for early gold production from the Beattie property by Clifton Star.

I am hoping to see positive results from the closer study of the processing characteristics of the mill tailings. The report should be one that recommends a reasonable approach to tailings reclamation and gold recovery IMO.

I hope to see confirmation of over 80% gold capture with gravity recovery systems. Can be that good... Boot? 9.6 million tonnes is a lot of tailings, run them across a Deister Table and get +80% of 0.92 g/ton is good IMHO. Look from Google Earth, the property is covered with tailings sweeping west then south from the collapsed "glory hole" pond.


We will know more soon.
