- KCA appointed lead Feasibility Study consultant: Reno-based KCA brings more than 50 years of heap leach, metallurgical, engineering and construction experience and is already familiar with Rosebud through its ongoing metallurgical test work on Rosebud metallurgical samples. KCA’s track record includes several major design through construction contacts, including for Agnico Eagle (engineering, procurement and construction management (“EPCM”) the contract for Pinos Altos and EPCM contract for La India), Gammon Lake Resources (EPCM contract for Ocampo) and Pan American Silver (EPCM contract for Dolores), to name a few.
- Full technical team in place for permitting and feasibility: KCA will coordinate feasibility work alongside Northern Lights Mining (resource estimation and mine design), GMining Services (mine geotechnical evaluation and studies), and NewFields MDTS (processing facilities geotechnical evaluation and design). Permitting is coordinated by principal environmental consultant Westland Resources (Federal and State coordination, biological, cultural, tribal engagement) and supported by SRK Consulting (hydrological and geochemical evaluation, studies and monitoring)
- Project Schedule aligned to allow commencement of construction in 2029 with first-production in late-2030, early-2031.

“We chose KCA to lead the Rosebud Feasibility Study because of KCA’s clear enthusiasm to be the lead for Rosebud’s feasibility and, most importantly, KCA does not build facilities that don’t work,” said Graden Colby, Chief Operating Officer of Blossom Gold. “KCA has a track record of taking feasibility studies through to engineering, procurement and construction, as it did at Pinos Altos and La India for Agnico Eagle and at Ocampo for Gammon Lake. Like Agnico and Gammon, that is exactly the standard we want for Rosebud, an owner-operator approach to feasibility with EPCM execution that leads to successful mines. KCA is familiar and works well with our other technical consultants and we look forward to the effort.”

Drilling continues at Rosebud, 26,555m drilled since April with three core and one RC rig conducting expansion and infill drilling from surface. Rehabilitation of decline #2 is on schedule after Small Mine Development LLC (SMD) successfully worked through the one major fault in both declines, a splay off the South Ridge Fault. Timberline Drilling Inc. of Elko, Nevada has been selected as the underground drilling contractor for Rosebud. Drilling is expected to begin in December following establishment of drill stations. The remaining drill program to support the MRE involves an additional 11,585m of surface and 8,232m of underground drilling through Q1:27, for an expected total of over 46,000m of new NI 43-101 information for the updated resource estimate.
