QUEBEC - White Tiger Gold of the British Virgin Isles is restarting longhole ore production from the north wall of the Lamaque gold mine in Val d'Or. White Tiger acquired the mine with its takeover of Century Mining last year.
Late last year, White Tiger hired a contractor to complete the capital development of the north wall, bought two diamond drills for definition drilling, and added workers to its senior mining team to provide better technical and operational supervision. The company is now mucking ore from the north wall while development continues.
At the same time mining staff has improved ore access and development in the Lamaque flats in order to improve production rates and grade. These improvements combined with the addition ore that will come from the longhole stopes will enable the mine to ramp up its production towards it planned 2,000 t/d.
