Project Description
A prefeasibility study has demonstrated the attractive economics of the Fenelon project.
The project has measured and indicated resources of 91 900 t grading 12.89 g/t of gold and in situ inferred resources of 6 500 t grading 12.97 g/t of gold. Proven and probable mineral reserves have been esti-mated at 90 295 t grading 10.43 g/t of gold.
The project is expected to have peak productivity at 400 t/d.
The project has an 18-month mine life for the known reserves located above 100 m deep and in close proximity to the existing ramp.
