Golden Predator has commenced this drill program in addition to its ongoing exploration program at Brewery Creek, which is delineating the recently discovered Bohemian-Schooner Zone as well as exploring other high priority targets across the expansive Brewery Creek project area.
Brewery Creek was the site of a heap-leach gold mine that operated from 1996-2002 and produced 279,541 ounces of gold.
Recovery rates were about 65%, leaving a significant amount of gold in the reclaimed heap leach pad.
Golden Predator has commenced testing the viability of recovery of the contained gold in the heap, including sonic drill testing of the pad, as well as metallurgical and economic studies of the viability of recovering additional gold from the existing leach pads.
Current resources remaining on the property include an Indicated Resource of 3.98mm tonnes grading 1.135g/t gold and an Inferred Resource of 2.2mm tonnes averaging 2.01g/t gold.
