Bayhorse Silver (V.BHS) has recently re-opened old workings at its silver mine in Oregon. The company has always known the workings were present on the site but, until breaking through into those workings it had no idea of their condition.
When we were at Yukon’s Destruction Bay last year the weather was bad enough that we never saw the beauty of Kluane Lake or the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Entirely spectacular and well worth the visit if you are driving the Alaska Highway.
People have been mining gold and silver in Mexico for hundreds of years. The Rosario mine in Sinaloa Mexico operated from the 1700s to 1944 on the western edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental. A few kilometers away, Goldplay Explorations (V.GPLY) is looking for gold and silver at its El Habal and San Marcial projects. The San Marcial project has a historic 43-101 compliant silver resource with upside opportunities for expansion. The El Habal is at drilling stage with recent attractive results from trenching supporting exploration potential.
On Monday March 11, 2011 the Fukushima nuclear plant was severely damaged by a 15-metre tsunami which disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors. All three cores largely melted in the first three days.
One of the best things about the Yukon Mining Tour is the opportunity to revisit amazing places like ATAC (V.ATC) Resources’ Rackla property to the northeast of Keno City. When I went last year the sheer beauty of the place was overwhelming. And the geology, frankly, flew over my head. This year I was much more prepared.
Aben Resources has gold properties in Saskatchewan, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, but its flagship property is in British Columbia’s hugely prospective, Golden Triangle.
You don’t have to be in the Yukon for very long before you hear about Shawn Ryan. Last year, I’d just landed and was in the hotel pub with two great people who are legends in the placer business and was asked, “So are you going to see Shawn?” I had no clue. And as I travelled to the now Goldcorp Coffee deposit the geo who was running the tour said, “Shawn was over this property.”
Back in September of 2017 the Government of the Yukon and the Yukon Mining Alliance held an event in Toronto. The star at the event – other than Premier Sandy Silver – was a doré gold bar protected by a real Mountie in the real, scarlet, dress uniform of the RCMP.
Phil Walford, CEO of Marathon Gold (T.MOZ), has been working on mining projects for four decades. When he looks at a flow sheet he can spot the potential bottlenecks.
I spoke to Bayhorse Silver (V.BHS) CEO Graeme O’Neill (pictured above) as he was getting ready to fly down to Oregon to spend time at the Bayhorse Silver mine over the weekend. It’s a frequent trip. Vancouver to Boise Idaho and then an hour or two driving to get to the mine site on the Oregon side of the Snake River.
