"Crews will continue to stockpile gold bearing gravel from the Mary's East tunnels into early spring. We have stock piled 4,600 loose cubic yards of gravel from Mary's East plus an additional 9,000 loose cubic yards of gravel from the Swede Channel. Processing the stockpiles for gold removal is expected to begin after the stockpiles are sufficiently thawed (mid June 2007). Thawing is critical, to ensure that all of the gold, from large nuggets down to the tiniest gold dust particles can be liberated from the frozen gravel chunks, then concentrated by gravity separation in our modern sluicing plant".
