Sterling Tunnel Completed Ahead of Schedule at Sunshine Mine
Monday April 30, 9:00 am ET
WALLACE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sterling Mining Company (OTCBB:SRLM - News) today announced that the 5,700 foot Sterling Tunnel Project at the Sunshine Mine has been completed ahead of schedule. The Sterling Tunnel begins on the west side of the Mine north of the Jewell Shaft at an elevation of 2,742 feet. It connects at a point approximately 1,200 feet below surface to the Polaris Drift-Silver Summit Tunnel which continues another 5,850 feet to the Silver Summit Shaft on the east side of the mine and then another 5,225 feet to the Silver Summit portal, or east side mine entrance.

Raymond DeMotte, Sterling's President commented, "This was a major project. It is with great pride that I can announce that it has been completed on time and, from our early examinations, on budget, which was cause for a nice little celebration for our crew!"
Development on the Sterling Tunnel project was initiated in January of 2006. Atlas Fausett Contracting of Osburn, Idaho performed all mining work and their crews began underground diamond drilling in October of 2006.
Together the two workings create a new secondary escapeway from the Silver Summit hoist area and improve the ventilation capacity of the Mine as a whole as well as provide a secondary escapeway required for any production from the Sterling Tunnel area.
"The Sterling Tunnel has also been the anchor of our Upper Country exploration strategy designed to access highly prospective areas that were previously under-explored or not accessible. The drilling program targets areas identified in our 2003-2005 exploration programs, as well as older workings and adjacent areas that were previously not explored due to historical boundaries. Continuous drilling is underway as part of an initial 60,000-foot program with approximately 25,000 yet to go in 2007," stated Sterling's Mine Manager, Mike McLean.
Ray De Motte further commented, "Exploration and development work within the Upper Country areas is being done concurrently with work to renovate the Silver Summit shaft and hoist which is required to return lower levels of the mine to production scheduled to begin in December 2007. In addition to diamond drilling, near term plans for the Sterling Tunnel include development intended to cross-cut projected vein structures identified by diamond drilling and gain access to old workings for the purpose of bulk sampling hand-sorted backfill."

Diese "areas that were previously not explored due to historical boundaries" dürften sich vor allem auf die Gebiete um und in den Claims der Merger Mines (MERG) - aber auch die der Chester Mines beziehen.
Also kommen noch 25.000 Fuss Drillings in dem Gebiet 2007. ...
Sehr gut! ![]()
