Owner Wallbridge Mining Co. of Toronto said more than 1,000 tonnes of copper concentrate have been delivered to a local smelter. The concentrate contained net payable metals of more than 750,000 lb of copper, 1,400 oz of palladium, 750 oz of platinum, 4,000 oz of silver, and 400 oz of gold. Twelve tonnes of high grade gravity gold concentrate, averaging more than 700 g/t of precious metals was shipped to a European smelter for refining.

The probable reserve at the mine stands at 193,152 tonnes grading 0.95% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 0.65 g/t Au, 6.69 g/t Ag, 2.16 g/t Pt, and 1.96 g/t Pd.

Wallbridge estimates that Broken Hammer has generated US$4.7 million in net smelter revenue to date. Complete details about the project are posted at WallbridgeMining.com
