Vancouver, B.C. / TheNewswire / CMC Metals Ltd. (the "Company") wishes to provide an update on the status at the Radcliff Mine which forms part of the World Beater Property. The Company holds a 100% interest in the Bishop Mill and owns a 50% interest in the World Beater Property and Radcliff Mine.
Pruett Ballarat Inc., ("Pruett") the current operator of the Radcliff Mine, has advised the Company that underground development work on the 5510 Level adit has intersected the targeted high grade mineralized zone. The mineralized zone was partially defined by previous drilling and the 5510 Level adit was driven roughly perpendicular to the strike of the mineralized zone. Mineralization occurs over a drift length of approximately 20 feet (6.1 meters) from Station 1+20 to Station 1+40.
Pruett Ballarat Inc. has also advised the Company that systematic channel sampling has been completed to assess the overall grade of the mineralized zone. A total of 20 systematic channel samples and 10 muck samples have been collected and will be submitted to ALS Global's assay facility in Reno Nevada with results expected to be available in approximately three weeks. Pruett has also advised the Company that a series of six grab samples were collected from the mineralized zone and submitted for assay at Florin Analytical Services, Reno Nevada. The preliminary sample assay results range from 0.058 oz/ton gold to 9.326 oz/ton gold and the arithmetic average of the samples is 2.55 oz/ton. The Company has not independently verified the preliminary sample results reported by Pruett.
Material from the mineralized zone is currently being stockpiled adjacent to the Radcliff mine workings pending final approval of the operating permit for the Company's Bishop Mill. The Company's current business plan is to selectively mine portions of the high grade indicated resource by underground mining methods and process this material at its wholly owned mill located near the town of Bishop approximately 150 kilometers north of the mine.
The Company advises that management has not based its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow and future profitability.
