The mill has been idle for several years and is presently being rehabilitated and updated. The filling of supervisory positions is underway. The owner of the mill is in the process of reactivating existing permits.
Mining Technique
The projected mining technique focuses on shallow, near-surface pits on the East Francine, Middle and North veins, targeting high-grade material. The pits are predictable to be small, extending to a maximum of about 270 feet in depth. Near-surface material is weathered, and should be easily excavated. Drill and blast techniques are contemplated for deeper material.
The Company intends to use a contractor for mining operations, and the RFP process is progressing well.
