Beacon Minerals is planning to commission the plant operations at its 100% owned Jaurdi Gold Project in the month of June 2019. The power to the mill is anticipated to be connected on 20 June 2019, followed by sequential commissioning of other facets of the plant. The progress made on the plant is remarkable and will be a significant milestone for Beacon. Along with the commissioning activities being conducted, the plant operations and maintenance teams are being arranged as per the adopted Owner Operator model.
To test extensions of the existing resource, the company is planning an exploration drilling on Jaurdi tenements post commissioning. It has planned for around 250-300 holes in a range of 15,000 to 20,000 meters, initially in three areas, which lie close to the reserves and resources known to the company. Later on, the company will look at areas away from the Lost Dog mine site to test additional targets developed by Beaconâs personnel.
Three key targets areas are explained as below:
Proximal to Lost Dog Gold Mine
The far eastern parts of the Lost Dog system, entirely open to the east and northeast, is the primary target area. The western parts of the system form the second target area, which lies to the west and south of Cammiâs Creek test pit. The degree of gold mineralisation in the space has been improperly defined by historical drilling. Both the above areas are a clear target of the company, which have not been closed yet.
Northwestern Area of M16/529 (b/w Lost Dog & Black Cat)
The company has drilling plans in some test parts of the space considering the possibility of 3 km of palaeochannel strike between Black Cat and Lost Dog. The mapping of the area is still incomplete, and the above estimates are a result of previously completed drilling.
East and Northeast of Lost Dog
Beacon is also planning some aircore drill traverses to check the palaeochannel system to the east of Lost Dog as similar settings in the area, specifically E16/469 and E15/1582 within Beacon controlled tenements, have been identified.
At market close on 29th May 2019, the stock of BCN was trading at a price of $0.020, up 5.263%, with a market cap of $39.79 million.
