Fronteer Development Group Inc (TSX: FRG) said permitting is underway for a 280-metre decline to access the deeper extension of its 100 percent owned Northumberland gold deposit in Nevada.
The company is committed to advancing the Northumberland project towards feasibility and the development of an underground decline is a necessary step in gathering data to achieve this goal.
The decline will provide access for developing ramps and drifts required for an exploration drill program to better define the grade and continuity of mineralization, and it will facilitate metallurgical sampling for continued process development work, as well as metallurgical bulk samples for pilot testing.
It is anticipated that permitting for the decline will take approximately nine months during which time the company will develop a detailed schedule for underground drilling, metallurgical sampling, data evaluation and economic analysis.
