Blue River Mines says it expects to start production and sales next year at the B. C. calcite deposit it has optioned from Ekaton Industries.
Blue River says mapping and sampling have confirmed previous indications of from two million to five million tonnes of high purity calcite reserves in the deposit.
According to President Douglas Long, crushed product from a 50-tonne bulk sample, to be put through a crusher plant adjacent to the town of Blue River, will be shipped to various customers for inspection and analysis.
He adds a 125-kg sample is being crushed, ground and shipped to a proprietary mill in Europe for further testing as a value-added product in the paper industry.
