Fran Gold Flotation Results
Initial results of metallurgy studies from Woods Process Services have been received, including flotation recovery of gold. The results indicate the gold ore is highly amicable to the flotation process (see Picture 2). The head grade assays completed by Woods Process Services are consistent with on-site work of greater than 1 ounce per ton. The process involves grind to 150 minus mesh, consistent with the Bishop Gold Mill crush and grind circuit, use of a frother, general metal recovery reagent, and selective gold recovery reagent. Middle and final concentrate assays for gold and silver as well as delivery of the specified frother and reagents to the Company’s Bishop Gold Mill are expected shortly.

Equipment Acquisition
The Company has acquired additional gravity circuit gold separation equipment from Ruby Gold Mines, Inc. (“RGI”) from existing inventory. The gravity equipment includes Knudsen Bowl and Gemini Shaker Table. The specialized gravity equipment will be picked-up this week, installed and tested. The specialized gold extraction equipment will be used for optimization and expansion of the gravity circuit. Initial processing of gold ore using the gravity circuit at the Bishop Gold Mill with Fran Gold ore has shown recovery of gold by gravity. The Company has shipped gravity recovered concentrate to its gold and silver refining partner in Reno, Nevada for evaluation and sale. RGI, supplier of the equipment, is the owner of the Ruby Gold Mine and processing facility, located in Sierra County, California. Further discussions are currently underway with RGI.
