Idora Tunnel Operations Update
The Company is pleased to announce that following the approval
of its plan of operations to open the Idora Tunnel in Shoshone
County, Idaho (the "Tunnel") by the US Bureau of Land Management,
as announced on 6 August, the Company has engaged Coeur d'Alene
Mining Contracting LLC ("Coeur d'Alene") who has now commenced work
on site.
Coeur d'Alene has successfully removed the rock falls and debris
at the entrance to the Idora Mine portal and has installed a metal
culvert to permit safe exploration access to the Tunnel.
Jeff Lambert, president of Coeur d'Alene Mining Contracting LLC,
has reported from initial observations upon entering the Tunnel
that there do not appear to be any significant additional cave-ins
beyond the portal. Mr. Lambert further reported that oxygen levels
inside the Tunnel measured 20.6 per cent., which was well
ventilated with natural air flow.
Howard Crosby, director of Red Leopard, commented: "We are
delighted with the expeditious efforts of Coeur d'Alene Mining
Contracting LLC in opening the Idora Mine portal. We now plan to
get our geologist in the Idora Tunnel to explore the length of the
drift as far as possible, and start a sampling program".
Coeur d'Alene expects to complete the scope of work for the
initial portal rehabilitation within the next week.
Further updates on progress and developments will be announced
in due course.
