QUEBEC – Headquartered in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, Hecla Mining Company has updated its recent exploration activities at the Casa Berardi gold mine about 100 km north of La Sarre.
Hecla is currently mining ore from the East mine crown pillar (EMCP)
pit. Exploration is aimed at that pit and the proposed 160, Principal
and West mine crown pillar (WMCP) pits.
The 118 and 123 zones are being drilled from underground, and high
grade mineralization is frequently encountered. Surface drilling has
identified the high grade extensions of the 124, 134 and south perimeter
of the Principal crown pillar (123 zone).
High grade gold is also being drilled at Lac Germain about 6 km east
of Casa Berardi. Most of the gold bearing lenses outcrop and have been
traced 670 metres along strike and to a depth of 395 metres.
