Recent drill results from Northair Mines’ Willa gold project in southeastern B.C. included one spectacular intersection grading 1.4 oz over 59 ft. According to Donald A. McLeod, president, check assays (fire) were even higher and he notes the cut value was 0.52 oz over that same length.
The company is conducting a $500,000 exploration and development program on the property which, after completion, will give it a 56% interest. BP Selco and Rio Algom are also involved.
The current program includes 950 ft of drifting and crosscutting plus 7,800 ft of underground diamond drilling in 49 holes. More than half the drill program has been completed and the high grade hole was one of five released. The remaining results included 14.1 ft of 1.4 oz, 32.8 ft of 0.21 oz, 20.3 ft averaging 0.16 oz and 39.4 ft grading 0.15 oz.
Mr McLeod tells The Northern Miner that an “in-house” feasibility study has been completed for the project and he feels it is definitely viable. He says the production decision would include moving the dormant Northair mill near Squamish to the Willa property and expanding the facility. The new expanded rate would be from 400 to 600 tons per day, he adds.
