additional gold recovery. Total placement of ore material on the VLFs at the Cresson Project is <br />anticipated to be no more than 27 MT per year, including the 2 MT per year of agglomerated <br />ground product coming from the High Grade Mill facilities. Crushed material will be leached on <br />the existing AGVLF and SGVLF with process solutions. Pregnant solutions (i.e., solution laden <br />with gold) at SGVLF will be routed through the new SGADR for gold processing activities that <br />will result in a gold sludge. The gold sludge will be filter pressed and dried before being <br />transported to the existing AGADR refinery for final gold recovery. Barren solutions (i.e., <br />solution from which gold has been removed) at the SGVLF will be recycled for use at the <br />SGVLF. Pregnant solutions at the existing AGVLF will continue to be directed to the existing <br />AGADR facility for processing. Barren solutions at the AGADR will be recycled for use at the <br />AGVLF or may be transferred to the SGVLF via a new pipeline to the new SGADR. <br />The High Grade Mill will be a 250 -ton per hour grinding, froth flotation, and gold leaching <br />facility to improve the gold recovery from some of the site's higher grade ore deposits. The ore <br />coming from the crusher system will be stockpiled near the High Grade Mill facilities and then <br />fed into the rod/ball mills to grind the ore material into the smaller size needed for milling. From <br />there the properly sized ore material will be fed into a froth flotation circuit. The froth flotation <br />will produce gold concentrate slurry that is pumped to a re -grind mill and then transferred to <br />agitated cyanide leach tanks where gold will be pulled from the ore material into solution. From <br />the agitated cyanide leach tanks, the concentrate material will be transferred to a CIP circuit <br />where the gold in solution attaches to activated carbon. The gold - loaded carbon will be <br />transferred to the AGADR carbon stripping circuit by truck in double - walled containment <br />vessels. The ground product (or concentrate) from the CIP circuit, after reporting to the <br />dewatering/agglomeration circuit, will be agglomerated and blended with the crushed ore <br />material for placement on one of the VLFs for additional gold recovery. <br />The SGVLF is designed in a similar manner to the existing AGVLF with the same containment <br />features that have been successfully used at the AGVLF. The design and construction of SGVLF <br />includes the following elements: <br />• Relocation of a portion of SH 67 in Squaw Gulch to accommodate the new SGVLF <br />including: <br />o Installation of a temporary multi -plate tunnel over existing SH 67 for passage of <br />highway traffic while allowing construction equipment to pass overtop <br />o Construction of toe berm across Squaw Gulch to stabilize the SGVLF and provide <br />the foundation for the new SH 67 alignment <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Mine Life Extension 2 <br />1 -7 <br />
