A small pilot plant has been installed in the Adams Plateau area of B.C. on a property held by Killick Gold. The pilot plant is rated at 50 tons per day and will be the precursor of a 100-ton mill at a later date, says the company.
In the meantime, a permit application has been submitted to regulatory authorities to operate the plant on a regular basis. The plant is designed to produce a lead-zinc- silver flotation concentrate which will be sold to Cominco’s smelter at Trail.
Encouraging gold values have been found in a shallow iron zone which appears to warrant a separate concentrate for gold. Assays up to 0.44 oz have been returned from the gold zone which has not been included in the company’s cash flow projections.
