Insights
U.S. Gold's adoption of Jameson Cell technology will improve project economics by $36M through enhanced metal recovery and reduced operational costs.
U.S. Gold Corp's decision to implement Glencore Technology's Jameson Cell flotation equipment represents a significant technological advancement for the CK Gold Project. The Jameson Cell technology, which has been proven in the industry since 1986, offers several tangible advantages over conventional flotation cells that will directly impact the project's economics.
Based on the trade-off study conducted by Halyard Micon International, this technology selection is projected to enhance the project's Net Present Value by approximately
The performance guarantees provided by Glencore substantially mitigate implementation risk. Additionally, the opportunity to secure equipment originally procured for a cancelled project (with pricing locked through October 2025) potentially offers capital expenditure advantages in the current inflationary environment for mining equipment.
From a technical perspective, Jameson Cells utilize a different mechanical approach to conventional flotation, employing a high-intensity mixing and air injection system that creates finer bubbles and more efficient mineral-bubble contact. This typically translates to improved recovery of fine particles that might otherwise be lost in conventional circuits. For the CK Gold Project, which likely has complex mineralogy typical of many gold-copper deposits, this technological advantage could be particularly valuable in maximizing metal recovery while minimizing reagent consumption.

Background
Glencore Technology first approached U.S. Gold in late 2024, presenting its proprietary Jameson Cell flotation technology as a potential improvement over conventional flotation cells. The Jameson cells have been in use since 1986. To validate these claims, U.S. Gold conducted additional testing on CK Gold Project ore. The results confirmed gains in both gold and copper recovery compared to the values reported in the February 2025 Prefeasibility Study.
A trade-off study prepared by Halyard Micon International estimated that incorporating Jameson Cells could improve the project's Net Present Value (
The Glencore Group has provided a limited performance guarantee and continues to support ongoing engineering and cost parameters for the proposed equipment. U.S. Gold has also received a letter from Glencore Technology confirming it can hold pricing for unused Jameson Cells, originally procured for a cancelled project, through October 2025.
