Hawthorne Gold Corp (TSX-V: HGC) said it has commenced underground development at the Cassiar gold mine. It is advancing one of the ramps approximately 160 metres to access the East Bain Zone, which is a faulted off extension of the previously mined West Bain Zone located within the Table Mountain underground workings.
The next step will be to develop or undercut the mineralized gold zone and prepare the sublevels for shrinkage stope mining.
"We have come a long way over the past year to prepare for the commencement of underground development at the Cassiar Gold Mine. We have completed the necessary geological modeling and engineering of the mineralized zone, and look forward to taking the next step towards gold production," commented Richard Barclay, president and CEO of Hawthorne.
The Cassiar gold camp, located in northern British Columbia, Canada, comprises approximately 56,300 hectares and hosts the Table Mountain and Taurus gold deposits.
