2 previous underground mining operations (1900 to 1940) produced 7,600 ozs Au and 9,000 oz Ag. The mining left numerous mine dumps. “If they didn’t see gold then they didn’t mine it.”
“A potential resource of 2,0005,000 ounces of gold in the surface and near surface mineralized areas appears to exist within the AJ Group based on previous trenching results and sampling of mine dumps.”

Belmont is planning to deliver bulk samples to Enrometal Technoligies in Burnaby, British Columbia who have developed a gold leach process that is cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to the traditional use of cyanide and smelting. The process typically achieves over 96% recoveries.
