Underground drilling is in progress with two rigs at the Tulsequah Chief property in northwestern British Columbia.
Owner Redfern Resources (TSE) expects to complete about 25,000 ft. of definition drilling on the Tulsequah Chief deposit as well as 15,000 ft. of exploratory drilling on other targets.
The definition drilling will provide the information required to complete a full feasibility study on Tulsequah Chief which is estimated to contain a minable reserve of about 7.7 million tons grading 6.42% zinc, 1.4% copper, 1.07% lead, 0.07 oz. gold and 2.72 oz. silver per ton.
The exploratory drilling will initially test for strike and depth extensions to the Big Bull mine a few miles to the south. Big Bull was only explored to a depth of about 300 ft. and has not been examined since operations at the site were discontinued in the 1950s.
