CLERICY, Quebec Drilling at BREAKWATER RESOURCES' Langlois base metal mine indicates a 26% increase in reserves in Zone 97. This adds up to a total 14.9% increase in total reserves. Measured and indicated resources total 4.98 million tonnes grading 11.2% Zn, 0.8% Cu, 0.1 g/t Au and 54 g/t Ag. There are also another 1.25 million tonnes classified as inferred resources at 9.7% Zn, 0.5% Cu, 0.1 g/t Au and 40 g/t Ag.
The mine has been on care-and-maintenance since 2001, when an ore pass problem and low zinc prices forced the suspension of mining. SRK, which produced a feasibility study on the ore pass problem in 2001, will update its report incorporating the greater reserve estimates.
