Barkerville Pours First Gold Doré Bar from Bonanza Ledge Mine

25.07.2014  |  The Newswire

Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / July 25 2014 / Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville" or the "Company") reported today that it poured its first gold dore bar from the Bonanza Ledge Mine at the Cariboo Gold Project near the town of Wells, in central British Columbia.

The Bonanza Ledge was deemed a new discovery when it was first drilled in March, 2000 as the Company was exploring a separate high-grade historic gold target. From 2000 to 2014 the Company developed the mine from discovery through to receiving a NI 43-101 resource estimate; to completing a 13,000 wet tonne bulk sample in 2005; to receiving a positive pre-feasibility study in 2009; to obtaining Mines Act Permit M-238 to develop an open pit mine in December, 2011; to initiating production in March, 2014; to today's first gold dore bar pour which had a total weight of 11,528 grams.

Barkerville engaged EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. to prepare a NI 43-101 technical report which was titled Pre-feasibility Study of the Bonanza Ledge Deposit, Wells, BC, Canada dated August 17th, 2009 and was updated by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Inc., in the Company's NI 43-101 Technical Report dated December 31, 2012 (available for download on the Company's website). The Report identified that approximately 73,500 tonnes of ore per year could be produced at the Bonanza Ledge Mine, for a current mine life of four (4) years at an average grade of approximately 9 grams per metric tonne (or approximately 0.264 ounces per short ton). The mine design is the culmination of geological exploration, engineering and environmental studies undertaken by the Company from when the Bonanza Ledge deposit was discovered in 2000.


The mine site is on the southwest flank of Barkerville Mountain at an elevation of approximately 1,480 m (4850') above sea level and within roughly two kilometers of Highway 26. The Company trucks the mineralized material to its permitted and operating QR mill facility near Quesnel, B.C. for processing to gold dore.

The information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by the Company's Chief Geologist Jim Yin, Ph.D., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
