The board of New Talisman Gold Mines is delighted to announce it has
officially commenced its consented mining activities under the resource
consent granted in 2013.
The first activities under the resource consent excavated 5 tonnes of ore
from face of the Mystery vein and extended the face of the drive by a meter.
Results of sampling of the muckpile demonstrate the presence of high-grade
ore up to 24g/t gold.
CEO Matthew Hill said "It is hoped that excavation deeper into Mystery over
the will provide further confidence as to the extent of the Mystery vein. The
long-held belief that the Mystery vein continues in line with the main vein
system provides the potential for a significant uplift in resources and
ultimately reserves."
The company is pleased to also announce that the Traffic Management Plan
(TMP) has been approved by the Hauraki District Council. Implementation of
this TMP allows the company to:
o Commence mining activities underground at its Talisman mining
operation;
o Extract ore from the Mystery and Maria Veins by drilling and
blasting; and
o Convey this material to the surface of the mine and transport the ore
from site to a processing facility.
The consent allows up to 20,000 cubic metres per annum of ore to be
extracted.
