Preliminary Economic Assessment Targets High-Grade Gold Zones
Tudor Gold has initiated a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Treaty Creek Gold Project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. This PEA focuses on evaluating the feasibility of an underground operation. Meanwhile, Fuse Advisors has been appointed to develop a mine plan targeting higher-grade gold deposits in the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The study aims to process up to 10,000 tonnes per day using bulk-tonnage mining methods, defining 50–100 million tonnes of mineralized material with gold grades exceeding 2.5 g/t.
Metallurgical Program Highlights Potential Multi-Metal Recovery
The ongoing metallurgical programme complements the PEA by testing sulphide gold concentrates and copper recovery through sequential flotation. Initial results indicate potential gold grades of 15–25 g/t and copper of 26–28%, with expected overall recoveries of 80–90% gold, 75–85% silver, and 75–85% copper. As a result, Tudor Gold anticipates a flowsheet capable of producing marketable concentrates. Completion of the PEA is scheduled for the third quarter, with metallurgical results expected by the end of this quarter.
Strategic Implications for Mid-Size Underground Mining
CEO Joe Ovsenek emphasized that the Treaty Creek Gold Project can advance as a mid-size underground operation. Staged development reduces upfront capital costs, mitigates environmental impacts, and accelerates cash flow. In addition, higher-grade mineralization lenses offer flexibility to scale up operations based on metal prices. The project benefits from five-year exploration permits granted by the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals in May 2025.
ScrapInsight Commentary
The Treaty Creek Gold Project demonstrates high-grade gold and copper potential, supporting mid-size underground mining. Early metallurgical data suggest strong recoveries, which may enhance project economics. Staged development reduces risk while aligning with sustainable extraction and circular economy principles.
