A review of drilling data has resulted in higher reserves for the Bronson Slope gold-copper porphyry deposit on the Iskut River property in northwestern British Columbia.
Based on a computerized polygonal model, International Skyline Gold (VSE) estimates the mineral resource to be 112 million tons grading 0.14% copper, 0.019 oz. gold and 0.10 oz. silver per ton plus 0.01% molybdenum. The larger deposit contains a drill-indicated, proven and probable resource measuring 40 million tons at an average grade of 0.019 oz. gold, 0.16% copper, 0.10 oz. silver and 0.01% molybdenum.
Metallurgical testing on samples grading 0.13% copper and 0.013 oz. gold returned recoveries of 85% for copper and 75-80% for gold to a concentrate grading 23% copper and 1.46 oz. gold.
Bronson Slope remains open in three directions and Skyline plans to begin drilling 3,300 ft. in July to extend the known resource.
