Jamie Frontier to ship ore to custom mill in early ’87

Shipment of a 6,000-ton bulk sample from the Pipestone Bay property to a custom mill is expected to take place in the first quarter of 1987, Jamie Frontier Resources says.

Located near Red Lake, Ont., the property is being explored from underground on three levels. Ore from the program is being stockpiled on surface at a rate of 35-50 tons per day.

Underground, crosscutting and drifting continues on the North C zone on the third and fourth levels. On the third level, the vein has been exposed along strike for 150 ft, swelling from 5 in to a maximum of 2 ft in width. A 146-ft section assayed 0.49 oz gold per ton, the company reports.

Jamie also plans to dewater the shaft from the fourth level to the fifth in the near future. This will be followed by underground drilling and drifting on this level, designed to test for extensions of the North C zone.

Surface drilling, which totalled 8,000 ft, has tested the North vein on surface for 540 ft. The vein structure, however, has a strike length of 8,000 ft.
