Satori Announces Tartan Lake Mine Update
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 24, 2016) - THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
Satori Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BUD) ("Satori" or the "Company") provides an update on the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project. The Company is currently undertaking a number of initiatives to further enhance the potential of the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project near Flin Flon, Manitoba, which are to:
- Complete a new resource on the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project with a focus on improving the average grade.
- Complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") in order to understand the future potential of this project.
- Undertake a new drill program commencing this week with a view to expanding the resource by drilling along strike to the known deposit.
The first initiative is to re-examine the 43-101 compliant resource estimate (the "Estimate") which was originally completed by a predecessor company approximately six years ago. The Estimate will be recalculated with the primary focus of improving the average grade by considering mostly the higher grade material with a higher grade cutoff. Work on the new resource estimate has been started and a new block model is currently being developed. Peter Karlese, P.Geo., has been retained to complete the new resource according to 43-101 standards.
Secondly, the Company has hired Mining Plus to complete a PEA on the Tartan Lake Mine Gold Mine Project assets and deposit. This is the first independent formal examination (by a third party group) to be completed on this asset. The Company's expectation is to provide both management and shareholders with a realistic basis from which to plan a restart of the mine.
Finally, Satori recently raised $300,000 of flow through financing in order to complete a drill program during this year. This drill program is being done in conjunction with a review of the historic exploration and mine data and to subsequently evaluate certain other undertakings in furtherance of re-activating operations at the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project near Flin Flon, Manitoba.
