VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - February 19, 2015) - Highbank Resources Ltd. (the "Company"), (TSX VENTURE: HBK).
Victor N. Bryant, CEO/President reports: "A crew at Swamp Point North ("SPN") has recently returned to the site and is active clearing snow, upgrading and maintaining roads, and logging/clearing further quarry area for stockpiles. Khtada Environmental Services LP monitoring personnel were on site last week taking samples in compliance with our Mines Act Permit. A supply barge left the Port of Prince Rupert, Wednesday morning to arrive later today. The barge manifest included specific winter weather materials -- chains for the 30 ton rock trucks, corks/spikes for the bulldozer, winter camp supplies and additional large diameter culvert pipes for appropriate road and drainage use."
"I will be arriving at the SPN project today with Stan Spletzer (V.P. of Aggregate Operations) and Bill Faulhaffer (Journeyman Quarry Operations Manager), who will be in charge of the day to day operations of our quarry operation. Also accompanying us will be a Micon International engineer to commence work on the PEA study as per our February 16, 2015 new release."
"The SPN project crew was making ready to move on site for February 1, 2015 when a significant snow event occurred. Presently, there is about three feet of snow on site, but we can see no reason that we, as a Canadian Company are going to stop progress for snow. Additional crews are expecting to arrive to SPN Friday, February 20th to further enhance roads; excavate discharge settling ponds for the wash plant; commission the wash plant, move the jaw crusher to optimal positioning and commission the jaw crusher; install culverts for further water runoff management; expand shoreline area for stockpiling and shipping finished aggregates; and last but not least, commission the quarry and plant to process through the first of many barge loads of aggregate for 2015 anticipated sales."
