The process plant is located along the main access road to the Property,
approximately 5 km from the Alaska Highway turn off as shown in Figure 18.1. It is
located approximately 9 km from the pit and 1 km from the TMF. Both the dump
pocket and the primary crusher will be housed in an open structure. All grinding,
flotation, reagent preparation, concentrate loadout, and ancilliaries will be housed in
a heated building to protect the equipment from the cold Yukon climate. The large
tailings thickeners will remain outside.
