Ongoing exploration work will include selective re-sampling of
the backs along both the first and second exploration drifts.
Detailed sampling and re-mapping will determine more precise
contacts between ore and waste, leading to a re-assessment of
mining width.
Detailed mapping will identify the potential presence of splays
and off-shoots (such as described above) of the silver
mineralization, utilizing both short cross-cuts and drilling
into the hanging-wall and foot-wall of the drift.
Three-dimensional figures will aid the analysis.
Large, bulk samples will be used for specific gravity
re-assessments on a regular basis.
With these data, a detailed estimation will be
calculated as to the degree of internal waste that has been
mined, and newly-calculated mining widths will be determined.
The objective of the above program is to maximize the grade of
the South Vein mineralized block determined by earlier core
drilling.
The third level exploration drift will provide a proving ground
to test the new geological sampling and estimation protocols
thus developed, leading to optimized silver excavation and
recovery.
Material handling methods, moving the mineralized stockpiles
from the surface to the mill, will also be evaluated to prevent
any potential errors in material movement.
The results of the new program will result in higher grade
material being shipped to the New Jersey mill.
States USC CEO Graham Clark:
"Management and the Board of Directors have decided to scale
back pre-development activities while we continue to become
more knowledgeable about the characteristics of the silver-
bearing mineralization at the Crescent Mine.
The results of our revised geological studies and exploration
protocols, along with future underground and surface drilling
of our large landholding position, will result in a much more
accurate understanding of the nature of the Crescent
mineralization".
