Brucejack Project, B.C.
The 100%-owned Brucejack Project is part of a largely unexplored land package of over 103,000 hectares located approximately 65 kilometers north of Stewart in northwestern British Columbia owned by Pretivm. The current focus of activities is the Valley of the Kings, where Pretivm has outlined a well-mineralized deposit of approximately 650 m long by 600 m deep by 600 m wide. The deposit contains numerous east-west trending corridors, ranging between 50-100m wide, which are comprised of a multi-stage epithermal vein stockwork superimposed on an earlier porphyry-associated phyllic alteration zone. High grade visible gold (as electrum) occurs throughout the epithermal stockwork.
The current mineral resource estimate for the Valley of the Kings has been informed by almost 220,000 meters of diamond drilling and is based on extensive work focused on the geological interpretation. A key outcome from the 10,000-tonne Bulk Sample Program (the “Program”) conducted in 2013 was the underground confirmation of the location of high-grade corridors of mineralization and the lateral and vertical continuity of the vein stockwork within them. A feasibility study completed in June 2014 outlined Proven and Probable mineral reserves in the Valley of the Kings of 6.9 million ounces of gold (13.6 million tonnes grading 15.7 grams per tonne gold). The Valley of the Kings remains open to the east and west along strike and at depth.
