Phosphate CH-98
Advancing a high-purity apatite-phosphate project in the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec.
CH-98 is a robust, high-grade phosphate concentrate with exceptional recovery — positioned to power critical industries and global food security.
QUÉBEC PHOSPHATE PROJECT
Québec Phosphate Project
Advancing CH-98: A Québec Apatite-Phosphate Project in the Lac-Saint-Jean Anorthosite Complex
Beauce Gold Fields is advancing its CH-98 Phosphate Property, located in the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec, within one of North America’s important igneous phosphate districts.
The Company’s Québec Phosphate strategy is focused on near-surface apatite-bearing targets with potential to contribute to North American phosphate supply chains for fertilizer, purified phosphoric acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
CH-98 Property: In the Lac-Saint-Jean anorthosite complex
Combined Land Package: 102 claims totalling 5,665 hectares
Confirmed Phosphate Assays: Up to 8.07% P₂O₅ from apatite rock sampling
Historical Showing Confirmed: CH-98-61 historical government sample reported 8.59% P₂O₅
Metallurgical Test Work: COREM flotation tests produced a 38.9% P₂O₅ concentrate with 93.4% recovery
Low Impurity Profile: MER of 0.05 reported in concentrate characterization
CH-98 Metallurgical Test Results
Independent metallurgical flotation test work completed by COREM confirmed that apatite mineralization from the CH-98 Property responds well to conventional flotation processing and can produce a high-grade, low-impurity apatite concentrate.

Project Location & Infrastructure + map
The CH-98 Property is located in the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec and is hosted within the Lac-Saint-Jean anorthosite complex, a geological environment known for apatite-bearing anorthosite, gabbro-norite and related phosphate-titanium mineralization.
The property is accessible by maintained forestry roads, which may support cost-effective early-stage exploration, mapping, sampling and geophysical work.
Beauce Gold Fields respectfully acknowledges that the CH-98 Phosphate project is located within the traditional territory of the Pessamit Innu First Nation. The company is committed to fostering respectful, transparent and collaborative relationships with local indigenous communities.

A disciplined, transparent and sustainable approach to unlocking long-term value for Québec and beyond.
Phosphate is essential to global food security through fertilizer production. It is also a key input for LFP battery cathodes, a fast-growing battery chemistry used in electric vehicles, energy storage, data centres, robotics and industrial applications.
