- Production supported by current mineral resources with potential for near-mine resource additions
- Current source is ESM #4 mine – multiple zones in production; Mahler, New Fold and Mud Pond
- Near-mine open-pit mineralization discovery announced Nov 2019 and Jan 2020
- Future discovery potential through additional near-mine exploration
- Current source is ESM #4 mine – multiple zones in production; Mahler, New Fold and Mud Pond
- Targeting large, high-grade deposits (15 to 30+ Mt at 10% zinc) – new ideas and modern approach to exploration led by award-winning¹ team
Potential Near-Term Incremental Mill Feed
Hoist House, Pumphouse and Turnpike
- Shallow zones of near-mine open-pit mineralization discovered in Nov 2019
- Potential to add low-cost production
- Strategic zones to achieve Company’s strategy of providing feed to ESM mill with over 3,000 tpd of excess capacity in an effort to dramatically increase production and lower costs
- Future discovery potential through additional near-mine exploration
- 20,000 ton bulk sample to be mined and processed in Q3 2021
- Production anticipated in 2021
Underground Drilling
Plan View of ESM #4 Mine and #2D Zone
- Utilizing Company-owned and operated underground drills (<$20/ft)
- Delineation of additional mineralization in Mahler, Mud Pond and New Fold
- Data used to refine current mine plan in preparation for development in 2021 and beyond
- Mahler
- Mud Pond
- New Fold
- #2D
District Exploration – 2021 Plan
Exploration Targets throughout Prolific Zinc District
H1 2021
- Potential sources of open pit incremental mill feed:
- Hyatt and Pierrepont
- Hyatt and Pierrepont
- Near Mine Target:
