Gold mining is the process of locating and extracting gold-bearing ore at a cost that is less than the market value of the final refined product. The percentage of gold within an ore can be expressed in terms of weight in ounces of gold per ton of extracted ore. Concentrations in Garnet’s Willie zone vein structure (rendered below) average between 0.226 and 0.335 gold ounces/ton.
The Willie vein system is a good example of high grade gold potential. Gold mineralization occurs within the vein system, with typical vein widths ranging from a few feet to over 20 feet. The red solid represents the 75,000 tons of 0.226 gold ounce per ton (oz./ton) that has been proven based on close-spaced drilling. Mineralization continues both laterally and at depth, therefore the Willie deposit is “open-ended” and has significant potential for reserve expansion with additional drilling in 2010. The 75,000 proven tons at the Willie do not fully represent the potential of this target. Ore will be accessed and mined through development of underground workings, represented by the gray and blue access tunnels on the figure.
