I took this mention of Bralorne from our SLI website;
The auriferous (gold-bearing) quartz veins of the Nazca-Ocoña Gold Belt and at Tesoro are mesothermal vein systems related to brittle structures and analogous to structurally controlled mesothermal veins in Archean rocks. These are classic gold quartz vein deposit, comparable in geological aspects to major gold deposits such as those in the well-known Bralorne-Pioneer (BC), Timmins (ON), Kirkland Lake (ON), Red Lake (ON), Yellowknife (NT), Motherlode (CA), Kalgoorlie (AUS) districts as well as the Kolar Gold Fields in India.

I took this excerpt from this NR;
The Bralorne mine is located 150 air miles from Vancouver, BC. The Company is re-developing the former and very successful Bralorne, Pioneer and King gold mines. From 1928 to 1971, these three operations produced 4.15 million ounces of gold from 7.9 million tons of ore (equaling a grade of 0.53 ounces per ton).
Bralorne, Pioneer and King represent the largest historic gold producers in the Canadian Cordillera. The Company remains well funded with no long-term or short-term debt.

I put this on here to show you that the average grade at this successful mine was 0.53 oz/t, remember Red Lake was/is around 0.50 oz/t, and remember our early 2 mines are ~ 0.75 oz/t for the A-4, ~ 1.0 oz/t for the C-1.
