Drilling begins at Bralorne

Drilling is under way at the Bralorne property in the Bridge River area of southwestern British Columbia.

Bralorne-Pioneer Mines (VSE) is earning a half interest in the property from Avino Mines (VSE) by paying $350,000 plus 200,000 shares, as well as spending $1 million on exploration over the next three years. An initial program of 5,000 ft. is planned to test the downdip extent of the Peter Vein and a newly discovered parallel vein known as the Big Solly. Previous work on the Peter Vein includes drifting, which returned a 215-ft. section grading 0.38 oz. gold per ton including a 105-ft. section grading 0.61 oz.
