Meadow Bay Capital Corporation Files Technical Report on Atlanta Gold Mine
The Technical Report indicates the Atlanta Mine produced 1.5 million tons of ore containing 0.09 ounces gold/ton and 1.25 ounces silver/ton and recovered 121,000 ounces of gold and 800,000 ounces of silver during the period 1975 to 1985 based on historic production records from the Bobcat Properties Inc.-Standard Slag Production Joint Venture. The remaining indicated resource of 338,520 ounces gold (6.21 million tons grading 0.054 oz/ton Au) and inferred resource of 125,960 ounces of gold (3.07 million tons grading 0.041 oz/ton Au) and indicated resource of 3.1 ounces of silver (6.21 million tons grading 0.506 oz/ton Ag) and an inferred resource of 0.7 million ounces of silver (3.07 million tons grading 0.236 oz/ton Ag) has been estimated by previous workers which is not compliant with standards as set out in National Instrument 43-101. This historical resource is based upon an internal study completed by Kinross Gold U.S.A. Inc. during the period of 1997-1998. Kinross performed extensive field mapping and sampling plus along with drilling of approximately 80 RC holes for a total of 54,255 feet. This drilling combined with the prior drilling by Gold Fields with 11 core holes (9,286 feet) and 71 reverse circulation holes (46,735 feet) and the drill program by Standard Slag provides the database for the internal resource estimate. Block models were prepared and resources calculated based upon various cut-off grades. The reported historical resources were calculated at a cut-off grade of 0.02 oz/ton Au.
As a point of clarification it should be noted that the historic cut-off grade reported in the Meadow Bay news releases dated January 20th and 21 of 0.2 oz/ton Au was in fact 0.02 oz/ton Au.
As the above is a pre-2001 historical resource estimate, readers are cautioned that a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
The Atlanta Gold Mine work program includes geologic work to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant resource along with metallurgical testing and preliminary engineering studies.
