To help at what one may expect and see in the coming weeks......

The Kidd Creek volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit, located 25 km north of Timmins, Ontario, was discov- ered in 1963 by drill testing a strong, air- borne electromagnetic conductor follow- ing an innovative, geological exploration program implemented by Texas Gulf Sul- phur in 1957. Except for an initial 8 m section of clay overburden, the discovery hole, K55-1, intersected base metal mineralization along its 200 m length. 

Since the commencement of mining in 1963 the Kidd Creek deposit has produced 124.22 Mt grading 6.18 % Zn, 2.31% Cu, 0. 22% Pb and 87 g/t Ag US, along with other elements such as Cd, Sn, Ge some of which are, or were, recovered. With the development of D Mine, the extension of the deposit from the 6800 level to the 10,000 level, Kidd’s reserves stand at approximately 23.66 Mt (Figure 1). The Kidd deposit is open at depth; in fact the deepest ore intersection, hole #7091 cen- tered some 3109 m vertically from sur- face, intersected 442.5 m of mineraliza- tion that averaged 1.16% Cu, 7.76% Zn, 0.73% Pb and 84 g Ag. The hole ended in sulfide!
