• Fortune Minerals’ NICO feasibility study is nearing completion, with base-case engineering essentially complete and capital and operating cost optimization underway.
• The study will incorporate additional gold recovery at the Northwest Territories mine and a lower-cost cobalt product start-up option for the Alberta refinery.
• Tests recovered 77%–85% of gold from a tailings stream containing 6%–11% of feed gold previously considered lost.
• A cobalt mixed hydroxide precipitate start-up option could reduce initial capital and operating costs, deferring cobalt sulphate production circuits.
• Updated mineral reserves, the mine plan and production schedule will be released with the completed study.
