Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (SFMI) Received From MSHA Its Underground Operational Permit on Sinker Tunnel Project
BRADENTON, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 10/25/12 -- Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (OTCBB: SFMI) is happy to announce that all administrative requirements to its "SMALL AND REMOTE MINE APPLICATION" to the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Agency (MSHA) for the Sinker Tunnel project have been approved. The Company's "escape and evacuation plan," as well as SFMI's membership in the area's "mine rescue organization," will be current for the tunnel opening date, November 1, 2012.
The Company's MSHA certified underground workforce has been notified of this forthcoming starting date, with work starting immediately on that date. Once the top wall rock bolting is completed on the remaining distance within the Sinker Tunnel, exploratory drilling will begin in earnest.
Recently, SFMI reported that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the Sinker Tunnel project site-plan which covers equipment usages, placement, etc. The security fencing which was necessary, for obvious reasons, has been completed.
During exploratory drilling, the drill intercept cores will be logged and assayed by our geologists, and this information will be put into a 3-D modeling program which helps determine the resource and reserve calculations of ore-bearing material within this portion of SFMI's claims. The Company's third party engineers and geological teams will use this data to prepare the Canadian Instrument NI 43-101 report. This report with other financial disclosures will be submitted when available for a petition to list SFMI's common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
Mill Update
Reclamation of the pregnant tailings stored on site has begun in preparation to reprocess the 30,000 tons through the new floatation circuit. This process is to reduce this tonnage to much higher content of Gold and Silver per ton.
