also Zenda gibts wohl nicht mehr eigenständig. Zenda und Vedron hatten mal 2003 ein gemeinsames Bohrprogramm in Kalifornien. Ergebnisse von Vedron zu finden bei sedar. http://www.vggoldcorp.com/news/pdf/2003/VG09242003.pdf War dann eine Tochter von Equinox Resources. The Zenda project is a small tonnage (1,403,000 ton) potential heap leach operation with a grade of 0.042 oz Au/ton plus 0.575 oz Ag/ton. J-Pacific Gold proposes to mine the ore body at rate of 2,400 tons per day, 5 days per week. Without additional reserves, the mining would be completed in less than two years. eine Mini-Mine The Zenda project was originally conceived and explored by Shell Mining Company. Ownership in the project was transferred to Equinox Resources Ltd. Equinox Resources (Kupferproduzent in Afrika/ auch in Australien gelistet) Ist wiederum eine Tochter von J-Pacific Gold Inc. The Zenda project was originally conceived and explored by Shell Mining Company. Ownership in the project was transferred to Equinox Resources Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia in the mid 1980's. In 1989, Equinox commissioned a full engineering plan from Vector Engineering of Grass Valley, California for the construction of a valley fill leach pad and an appropriately sized embankment dam for containment. Concurrently, a mine plan was commissioned from Pincock Allen & Holt of Lakewood, Colorado. With these reports and the metallurgical studies of McClelland Laboratories of Reno, Nevada, Equinox prepared a feasibility study and commissioned Pincock Allen & Holt to perform an audit on its study. Based on these studies the property was permitted and readied for production. However, Equinox made a decision not to commence production because of the prevailing low gold price. Hecla Mining Co. acquired the property as part of its 1994 takeover of Equinox Resources Ltd. Subsequently, Hecla decided to sell the property as its relatively small resource (1.4 million tons at 0.042 oz Au/ton) did not fit into Hecla's production criteria. Saga Exploration Co., a private Nevada corporation, gained control of the project in late 1995. Saga undertook a detailed review of the property work and completed an updated economic study in 1996. Early in 1997, Saga entered into a purchase agreement with J-Pacific Gold (then Claimstaker Resources) whereby ownership of Equinox was transferred to J-Pacific Gold. When the Zenda Mine commences operation, it is intended that Saga will be the project developer and operator of the mine. Vector Engineering Inc. of Grass Valley, California, designed the proposed plant and facilities. The Zenda project is largely permitted, but awaits a higher gold price before commencing production. Hecla Mining hat dann Zenda von Equinox übernommen. Da die Mine für Hecla zu klein war und nicht so recht ins Portfolio passte, verkauften sie diese wieder an Saga. Saga ging dann einen Kaufvertrag mit J-Pacific Gold ein, wonach dann das Eigentum von Equinox an J-Pacific Gold übergegangen ist. Nun wartet man auf einen höheren Goldpreis, um die Produktion zu beginnen. Die Zeit ist reif!!! Zenda ist ja ein richtiger Wanderpokal Habe noch nichts gefunden, ob da nun schon produziert wurde, oder nicht. Minenlaufzeit wäre maximal 2 Jahre. Ich frage mich, ob VG Gold noch eine Aktie an diesem Gebiet hält. @ Harry, kannst Du bitte mal bei Tom nach den "stillen Reserven" nachhaken? An welchen Gebieten hat VG Gold noch eine Beteiligung? Würde mich interessieren |
