Production from surface oxide ores is under way at the Mt. Nansen project of BYG Natural Resources (BYG-T).
The project, near Carmacks, Y.T., will exploit a series of vein-type gold and silver deposits.
Reserves in all categories total 1.1 million tonnes grading 7.6 grams gold and 167 grams silver per tonne.
Metallurgical troubles closed down a previous operation, which was owned by Mt. Nansen Mines, in 1969.
The new mine has a 700-tonne-per-day mill with a cyanide circuit that is expected to overcome the previous metallurgical problems.
