Gold Bullion Provides Update on Granada Gold Mine
TheNewswire / June 9, 2016 - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB) (OTCPINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") announces a general update on progress at the Granada Gold mine site. The Company has now mobilized equipment to commence stripping of overburden on the high-grade zone of the extended Long Bars zone in preparation for mining and shipping of ore for processing offsite to mills located nearby.
The installation of water and air monitoring stations has now been completed with both now in operation. The Company is also commencing the formation of a local "Follow Up Committee" which is voluntary on the part of the Company.
Mining during the Rolling Start development of the Granada Mine will generate high-grade ore above 3 grams per tonne gold along with low-grade ore below 1 gram per tonne gold. The lower grade ore will be upgraded prior to being shipped for processing.
Granada waste rock is to be used for building sound berms, to create a containment facility for the historic onsite tailings and for the continuation of recreational trail development. Some low-grade material has been crushed for aggregate and sold under a long-term agreement with a local contractor. The reprocessing of historic waste rock is also nearing completion with the higher-grade mineralized material being stockpiled for offsite processing.
The Company is now moving ahead with the next stage of development at the Granada Mine beyond the Rolling Start including resource development within the extended Long Bar zone as well as the old high grade Aukeko Mine site to the east. Within the extended Long Bars zone the Company will produce a 43-101 report, that will include the historic holes, at 1 gram per tonne gold and, following further drilling to the north, an underground resource grading 3 grams per tonne gold. The Company is targeting a pit-constrained target of 88 to 93 million tonnes at 1 gram per tonne gold plus another 10 to 20 million tonnes at 3 grams per tonne underground. The potential quantity and grade reported as targeted exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
Trenching will commence in the Aukeko Mine area once permits are received. This is being targeted for the third quarter of 2016. The Company will initiate studies to evaluate the most viable route to ramp up into a 100,000 ounce per year producer within the next three to five years. This study is to include the option of transporting ore by rail by seeking a local mill with rail facilities.
