Mr. Larry Reaugh reports
ADANAC TO PURSUE HIGH PRESSURE GRINDING ROLLS 'HPGR' TECHNOLOGY FOR RUBY
CREEK MOLYBDENUM PROJECT-ECA PERMIT FILED
Adanac Moly Corp. has extended its contract with Wardrop Engineering Inc. to include definitive
engineering work in support of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) technology for its Ruby
Creek project near Atlin, B.C.
The change order, with a value of $160,000 to its existing contract with Wardrop, is acceptance
of the proposal to extend work currently under way. The continuing efforts will include one or
more bulk grinding tests in Europe to confirm results of the initial test done December, 2005,
and detailed engineering to establish the most suitable means for inclusion of HPGR within the
concentrator proposed for Ruby Creek. This technology has the potential to reduce power
consumption in the proposed 20,000-tonne-per-day concentrator by 30 per cent or more when
compared with conventional SAG milling. Additional reduction of power in the subsequent ball
milling stage may also be attainable but the probable increase in overall mill availability by
as much as 5 per cent (91 per cent to 96 per cent) is of high economic significance.
The company is committed to the development of the most up-to-date and economically productive
operation at its Ruby Creek property near Atlin, B.C., which will have significant benefits for
both the First Nations and local communities as well as providing a source of income to the
British Columbia government.
The company has filed the environmental certificate application with the British Columbia
Environmental Assessment Office to be completed within 180 days. The environmental impact
assessment was prepared under project -- specific terms of reference, which were developed by a
working group consisting of government agencies and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN).
We seek Safe Harbor.
