Comments on the reserve resource information

  • 1984 FIGURES INCLUDE LOST LAKE.

Comments on the workings information

  • DEVELOPED BY DECLINE. LOST LAKE MINE IS BEING PRODUCED THROUGH GHOST LAKE. GHOST LAKE HAS BEEN WORKED AS AN EXTENSION OF THE CHISEL LAKE MINE AND CONTROLLED BY CHISEL LAKE SUPERVISION. IN 1981 ALL GHOST LAKE ORE WAS BEING HOISTED OUT OF CHISEL LAKE NO. 2 SHAFT.

Comments on development

  • DISCOVERED BY DRILLING BASED ON GEOLOGICAL PROJECTION
