Some Historic Data on the Kiena Mine Gold miners such as Placer Dome and the still existing Barrick Gold once mined and owned the Kiena property.
Below is a link giving Kiena's historic gold production. Wesdome's recent production at Kiena from 2006 to 2012 and earliier production from 1981 to 2002.

Excerpt of past exploration
A deep hole drilled below the 520 metre level cut a corelength of 45.5 metres at 6.3 gAu/tonne (Press Release dated Sept. 22, 2005). A crosscut was driven into the zone which revealed impressive occurrences of coarse native gold and provided a weighted average grade of 33.05 gAu/tonne across a true width of 17.8 metres. As the VC Zone was opened up in the fall of 2005 revealing coarse, native gold and an encouraging style of mineralization not previously seen at Kiena, efforts focused on getting into production as soon as possible. In order to advance to commercial production and continue the exploration work, the Company had to raise capital. On March 23, 2006, the Company announced the closing of a public offering of 9.0 million shares at $2.20 per share, for gross proceeds of $19.8 million. This was done via a prospectus where the “Use of Proceeds” followed the recommended budget of Geologica Groupe Conseil in the NI43-101 Technical Report dated April 15, 2005 (www.sedar.com). Pre-production development advanced rapidly with the workforce increasing from 74 employees and contractors to a peak of 213 in June, 2006. Production was attained on August 1, 2006. Exploration work continued (even today) on the east drift where we are now approaching a new discovery made in 2008 located 3.5 kilometres east of the Kiena shaft. Production since August 1, 2006, is tallied below.
best of luck to all.
