While waiting for its mill to be completed, California-based Brush Creek Mining & Development (NASDAQ) has decided to ship ore to a custom mill in Austin, Nev., for processing.
The company has been mining ore from the Wolf-Irene veins in the Ruby gold mine, in Sierra Cty., Calif., for the past several weeks. But, with visible gold on the stockpile, the temptation to produce proved too great.
Brush Creek plans to deliver mill feed at a rate of 50 tons per day until the construction is complete.
The mill has been on site for more than two months, and the company anticipates startup in the next few weeks. At this time, it will process its own gold.
Brush Creek continues drifting along thicker and thicker quartz veins in the Ruby mine in hopes of intersecting a significant, gold-bearing structure. Activity continues at the Upper and Lower Brush Creek mines, and dewatering of the Kate Hardy mine will begin shortly.
