Toronto-listed Waddy Lake Resources has completed test mining and milling programs to determine the continuity and consistency of mineralization at its Komis gold deposit in northern Saskatchewan.
The sample, excavated from the two underground levels along the A, C and E ore zones, was subsequently hauled and tested at the Jolu mill 35 km south of the deposit.
Results from the bulk sample suggest the consistency and grade of mineralization are consistent with mill sampling results. In addition, the ore zones tested become better developed with increased gold values. The underground operation indicates the orebody is open at depth and extends to the west and down-plunge. Plans call for additional drilling to test this area.
Based on these tests, a new reserve of 447,000 tons averaging 0.362 oz. gold per ton has been calculated for the 12 gold zones.
A Phase 1 reserve of 246,000 tons averaging 0.363 oz. has been calculated for the A, C and E orebodies to the lowest level of the mine. The present mine plan calls for a 440-ton-per-day operation, with initial production coming from two blast-hole stopes and one shrinkage stope.
