TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2018 /CNW/ - RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) ("RNC") is pleased to announce that, after expected recovery of a high grade specimen slab from the top of the current Father's Day Vein stope later this week, mining operations are scheduled to resume in the area of the initial Father's Day Vein discovery.
RNC expects a minimum of 30-35,000 ounces of gold to be recovered from the initial development area. To date, approximately 27,000 ounces of high grade coarse gold has been recovered from a 60 m3 cut (167 tonnes) on 15 Level at the Beta Hunt Mine, grading over 161 ounces/tonne or 5,000 grams/tonne. RNC continues to review historical drilling and mapping to understand the extent of the structures that could contain high grade coarse gold.
