PRE-FEASIBILITY AND DRILLING UPDATE (MOLY @$30.00 (US)/lb)
July 27, 2005 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Adanac Moly Corp. (AUA:TSX.V) ("Adanac") reports it has
received the drafts from the four engineering and metallurgical firms conducting its
pre-feasibility studies on the Ruby Creek Molybdenum Project located near Atlin, B.C.
Golder Associates have completed the draft on the open pit studies including pit design and
slope stability. Klohn Crippen have completed
the draft study on the tailings, dam and water
handling systems. MinnovEX
Technologies Inc. have completed other drafts on metallurgical
studies including grinding index and recoveries.
Wardrop Engineering Inc. have almost
completed
their engineering on the Mill site and optimum milling plan. (This study has been held up
pending receipt of the MIT study which is required to complete their optimum study.)
All of the above work is part of the final feasibility study which is on schedule and expected
to be completed before the end of the year. As the studies are signed off on the company will
be releasing the final pertinent results. To date the studies as assessed by management are
positive.
Drilling at Ruby Creek is progressing well with 8 holes completed on the in-pit section
entailing 2000 metres (6,400') and drilling has now commenced on the exploration part of the
program. Two holes have been processed and shipped for assay. The Company had to rebuild and
rewire the core splitting and bucking facilities resulting in the short delay in processing the
samples. All core is split by a diamond saw, crushed and split for shipment on the site.
The Ruby Creek Project is a proposed open pit molybdenum mine situated 24 kilometres northeast
of Atlin, BC, which would operate at 20,000 tonnes per day of ore for 20 plus years and have an
overall footprint of approximately 830 hectares. The Company believes that the proposed mine
is a sound project that will minimize any long term environmental effects and maximize
socio-economic benefits to the local community, Taku River Tlinget First Nation and British
Columbia.
