First Underground Drill Program At The Historic Mary K Mine
VANCOUVER - Bond Resources Inc. announced that with the recent completion of the Mary K parallel access tunnel it has commenced a first phase underground drill program that will consist of four holes totaling about 1,100 ft (335 meters) at its wholly-owned historic Mary K mine site near Elk City, Idaho.
"We are excited to commence this underground drilling campaign on the Mary K property," stated Joseph A. Carrabba, President & CEO. "The drill will further test the Mary K vein for continuity and grade below the main 4225 ft level and historic #5 level."
The underground drill station is situated within an old cross-cut on the 4225 level near a three compartment raise. Drilling will target the strike and down dip extent of any mineralization in the area as well as aid in the planning of a future internal decline that will begin once drill results are received and evaluated. The historical Mary K mine was shut down in 1942 and never re-opened. Historical records indicate that only 2,000 tons of mineralized gold material was mined with an average reported grade of 0.65 ounces per ton.
