The Trixie is a permitted mine that has previously recorded production of approximately 200 tons per day of gold/silver ore, processed via flotation in the nearby Burgin concentrator. At closure, the mine carried the following resources, since estimates predate NI 43-101 they are considered historic in nature.
a) 610 Stope 17,000 tonnes @ 23.3 g/t Au 173.O g/t Ag
b) 750 L 5,000 tonnes @ 7.9 g/t Au 20.1 g/t Ag
c) 610 L – 600 L 700 tonnes @ 63.50 g/t Au 97.1 g/t Ag
d) Below 1350 L 140,000 tonnes @ 2.0 g/t Au 360.0 g/t Ag 1.2% Cu |

Upon confirmation of the historic resource estimates and the evaluation of the economics of so doing, it is proposed to mine and recover the gold and silver contained. Investigations into the viability of the ore below the 1350 Level should also be initiated as will the exploration of other precious metal targets within the Trixie Mine complex.
Feasibility studies on the mentioned properties have not been completed nor is there any certainty that any purposed operations will be viable. |
