Approximately 600 meters of drifts and raises were developed from two
adits and a two-stamp mill was built.
Fieldwork by CANEX has identified multiple gold exploration targets, including the
Adit Shear Zone which has been traced for 1 km along strike and has returned chip sample results of 8.47 g/t gold over 5.6 metres.
This is hugely exciting for Bluebird and its shareholders, especially as our work continues to yield evidence of prospectivity, such as the location of two previously mined
adits," Patterson added.
From the portal of the left bank
adit (
adit 4), the rock mass is massive but has a very complicated joint pattern.
At the forefront of technological change and innovation in telecommunications across the region is
Adit North East.
The principal area of mineralization, which contains lead and copper ores, is concentrated along the main
adit and extends up the shaft to the connecting small
adit.
The circular profile of the
adits would have limited truck capacities to too small a size to be economical over the long distances required, so truck haulage was rejected.
While he could understand Mrs Leppington's dismay at discovering the proximity of the
adits, the Coal Authority had not revealed their existence earlier "because it believed it posed no physical threat".
The best result for copper for the rocks samples was 12.2% for a sample of massive chalcocite from the upper
adit at the Sunset showing.
The company said that Lichtfield's contribution will be up to USD1.8m, of which USD1.4m will be directed toward refurbishing the historical
adit access, underground exploration, surface exploration, permitting and drifting to new mineralized zones.
While there's a general awareness of issues associated with shafts and
adits, these only account for 2pc-3pc of those properties found at risk.
