Plans are under way to advance the Tulsequah Chief property in northwestern British Columbia towards a production decision.
Owner Redfern Resources (TSE) has initiated environmental, geotechnical and engineering studies for final mine feasibility, mine development assessment review and production permitting.
Infill drilling last year confirmed reserves at 9.4 million tons grading 1.4% copper, 1.23% lead, 6.62% zinc, 0.074 oz. gold and 3.08 oz. silver per ton. Further drilling will test for additional reserves at medium and shallow depths.
Work is also planned on the Big Bull claims where drilling last year encountered extensions to the known deposits partially mined in the 1950s. One of the best intersections returned 8.8 ft. grading 0.66% copper, 2.28% lead, 4,79% zinc, 0.42 oz. gold and 23.7 oz. silver.
Drilling is expected to start at Big Bull in June.
Redfern is planning to explore other targets outside the Tulsequah and Bill Bull areas.
