WestMountain Gold Begins Field Season at Terra Project, Alaska; Restart of Bulk Sample Gold Production
June 20 2013 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
WestMountain Gold, Inc. (“WestMountain”) (OTCQB:WMTN), an
emerging mineral exploration and development company, has commenced
operations at the Terra Project in Alaska for the 2013 field
season. The operations include an upgrade of the pilot mill
facility, construction of a C-130 aircraft capable runway, road
construction and mine portal construction. This infrastructure
expansion should result in the recovery of gold during the 2013
season. An exploration and drill program will follow later in the
season.
In April 2013, two bulldozers were added into the project,
allowing aggressive plans for the season to get under way,
including a scaled-up bulk sample program with a revamped pilot
mill and underground mining. These developments are integral to the
extraction of the natural resources at this location. Expansion of
the gold and silver resource at the Ben Vein Zone through
exploratory drilling will continue.
With the recent publication of a NI 43-101 Technical Report
showing a solid increase in tons and inferred ounces of gold and
silver and budgetary assets in place for the season, President and
CEO Greg Schifrin is encouraged by the Company’s recent milestones.
“This infrastructure expansion should result in an increase in gold
production during the 2013 season. The construction at Terra will
provide the foundation for the company to move forward with
resource development and gold recovery,” he says. He believes the
high-grade deposit at this project will yield more than a million
ounces of gold over the life of the mine.
