Successful exploration of the deeper extensions of the new near surface zones may justify the consolidation of the Rice Lake Mine, together with the near surface zones into one larger, more efficient production center.
I found this note interesting as well....Perhaps they are thinking about the possibility they may have enough gold here now to put emphasis on gold production at a higher level, rather than exploration of the wider fairway. Signs are they don't want to be bought out, so now is the time to produce. Hope so.
The 007 zone dips steeply to the north-northwest and is made up of quartz and carbonate veins containing gold and pyrite mineralization.
Probably wrong but, from corebox etc these Hinge/007/cohiba/ L13 systems go down as one goes north, generally, away from the SAM unit..hadn't really thought about it before, but had imagined the veins dipping down towards joining up with the deeper Rice Lake extensions. The model hopes to find a continuous zone down to the deeper extensions, but with veins going off downward (dipping) to the north? Not a big deal, I just saw it the other way around in my head, before.
