Box 191 <br />V;ctor, CO 80860 <br />SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED <br />Eleven waste rock and process waste samples (4 from Forest Queea Pad & 7 from old <br />piles) designated FQ-A, FQ-B, Amanda, Bertha B, Elkton, Gold Sovereign, Logan, <br />Ocean Wave, Portland, NCFQ 1, and NCFQ 2 were received for environmental testwork <br />and analyses. A Nevada Division of Environmental Protection Meteoric Water Mobility <br />Test (MWMT) was conducted on each waste rock and process waste sample at a 100 <br />percent minus 2 inch feed size to determine the mobility of select elements by synthetic <br />meteoric water (lixiviant), lixiviant pH after extraction, and residual moisture content of <br />the final solids. MWMT extracts from samples FO-A and FQ-B were analyzed only for <br />Free, Total, and WAD cyanide. The quantity of tines present in the waste rock and <br />process waste samples at the 100 percent minus 2 inch feed size was determined by <br />screening at 200 mesh. <br />SAMPLE PREPARATION AND SCREENING <br />Each waste rock and process waste sample was dry screened at 2 inch. Plus and minus 2 <br />inch weight distributions were calculated. Plus 2 inch material was stage crushed to <br />minus 2 inch and was recombined with screened minus 2 inch material. The 100 percent <br />minus 2 inch samples were blended and split to obtain 30 pounds for column percolation <br />MWMT's and 2 pounds for screening at 200 mesh. <br />Panicle size distribution data from screen analyses are shown in Table 1. <br /> <br />In aumar»n uvrh HJ.
