A 6-month development effort by St. George Metals (VSE) is starting to open a new target area of potential reserves along the Pittsburgh vein at the Dean underground mine in Nevada’s Battle Mountain district.
Earlier this year, three reverse circulation holes intercepted the target for 135 ft. along the vein and returned 5 ft. grading 0.43 oz. gold per ton, 5 ft. of 3.15 oz. and 5 ft. of 7.82 oz. gold.
The target area is along the Pittsburgh vein, about 1,000 ft. east of the current workings at level four of the mine. Drifting distance is about 2,100 ft., to take about 150 days and cost US$750,000.
St. George expects to file permitting for permanent operations and move into producer status shortly.
