Stage #1: A 525 foot drift to the southwest with Drill Station
#1 at the end. Drilling here indicated lode structure which
directed the Company to go west. (See news release August 27,
2009)
Stage #2: A 300 foot drift (See news release October 7, 2009)
westward into the footwall of the Main Lode structure and was
recently completed. Drifting in the footwall, or below the lode,
will allow the Company to use gravity in the removal of mineralized
material should there be any identified within the lode. Drill
Station #2 is currently being cut at the end of this drift and
diamond drilling will take place in the New Year. Drilling from
Station #2 will be towards the Main Lode structure to determine if
mineralization is evident. The initial program, approximately 2000
feet planned, is expected to be completed by mid-March.
Stage #3: While diamond drilling is taking place at Station #2,
a 300 foot extension to the Stage #2 drift will commence with a
diamond drill station cut at the end. This drift will continue on
in a westward direction unless the lode structure alters. Work is
planned to be completed near the end of February. Drifting may be
stopped in the event that mineralized zones are located through
diamond drilling from Station #2.
The "Main Lode" structure is more than 8 kilometers long,
extending east from Silverton on Slocan Lake to Sandon through the
"Silver Ridge" of the Selkirk Mountains some 50 kilometers north of
Nelson, B.C.
The Company holds the ground for approximately 1.5 km to the
west of this productive zone, to within 0.5 km of the Mammoth Mine.
This program represents the first attempt since the early 1990s to
explore west towards the Mammoth, Standard and the other major
"Main Lode" producers.
The Silvana Mine is one of 29 former producers staked or
acquired by the Company within the Slocan Camp. Other assets
include extensive exploration lands and a fully permitted
100-tonne-per-day (TPD) flotation mill.
The Silvana Mine produced approximately 8 million ounces of
silver and more than 30,000 tons each of lead and zinc from 550,000
tons of mill-feed mined from a 1.5-kilometer section of the "Main
Lode" under Silver Ridge. This section was explored, developed and
mined almost continuously from 1970 to 1993 by the Silmonac
Syndicate and its successors, including Kam-Kotia Mines Limited,
Silvana Mines Inc., Dickenson Mines Limited and Treminco Resources
Ltd. Sporadic mining has since been conducted by other companies,
including Klondike Silver.
