Carlyle Commodities Corp. announce the engagement of Base Metallurgical Labs ("Base Met Labs") and the initiation of a baseline metallurgical test work program on the Company's Newton Gold Project ("Newton"), a bulk tonnage gold system located approximately 100 km west of the city Williams Lake, British Columbia. Base Met Labs is one of the premier metallurgical testing labs in B.C. Their team of experienced professionals have an extensive background in comminution testing, automated mineralogy, gold processing technology, flotation, beneficiation and more.

The lab has worked with numerous major gold producers including Newmont, Newcrest and IAMGOLD, and tested various project types in western Canada comparable to Newton, including Artemis Gold's Blackwater project. Metallurgical samples will be selected from previous diamond drill core samples with the objective of investigating the preliminary recovery of gold and silver for the samples provided, using a variety of conventional processing technologies. It is anticipated that a variety of samples taken from continuous intervals from various drill holes and depths will be provided to construct one master composite.

Testing will investigate leaching at a range of particle size distributions as well as gravity concentration and sulphide flotation processes. Upon completion of the testing the results will be reviewed to guide next steps in the process.
