Deer Horn Launches Permitting Phase for Bulk Sample
February 25 2020 - 8:30AM
Following recent financings, Deer Horn Capital Inc. (CSE: DHC) (the
“Company” or “Deer Horn”), announces it is finalizing contract
arrangements with a BC-based, international engineering firm to
manage permitting for a 10,000-tonne bulk sample at the
51.3-square-kilometer Deer Horn gold-silver-tellurium property in
west-central British Columbia. The bulk sample, focused on a small,
higher-grade portion of the project’s Main Vein area, is expected
to provide supporting information about the known resource
including grade, metallurgy, processing and mining options.
“The bulk sample marks the next key step in exploration of the
Deer Horn property,” said president and CEO Tyrone Docherty. “Work
to date has continually produced positive results, and we’re very
encouraged about the plans for 2020. We believe this step will give
us the information needed to move to pre-feasibility for the mine
plan outlined in the PEA.”
Deer Horn is a gold-silver-tellurium property with an NI 43-101
compliant tellurium resource of high-grade gold, silver and
tellurium. Exploration to date has outlined several key mineral
zones across a 2.4-kilometer strike length that remain open for
expansion in three directions. A 2018 Technical Report and
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), calculated on only 20% of
the known mineralized zone, generated positive results for a
small-scale, open-pit operation based on prices of $1,300 for gold,
$17 for silver and $100 per kg for tellurium. The bulk sample is
intended to reinforce key data points and assumptions from the
PEA.

website.
“Our objective and strategy is to launch production at Deer Horn
with a small operation that requires far less capital, time,
permitting and infrastructure,” said Docherty. “Looking long-term,
we want to prove viability and expand our resource base, especially
on the remaining portion of the known mineralization. It’s
important to note that the current resource has only been explored
to a depth of 200 feet, where it remains open.”
