BEAVER MINE
High-Grade Producer with Tailings Opportunity
Operating 1907-1940, Beaver produced 7.1 million ounces silver from one of the district's deepest shafts at 487.7 meters. Recent surface sampling returned 4.68% cobalt. Sonic drilling confirmed tailings grades up to 314 g/t silver.
PRODUCTION HISTORY
221.7 tonnes silver (7,127,858 ounces) and 140,000 pounds cobalt
Adjacent mines demonstrate district continuity: Temiskaming (12.1M oz), Brady Lake (3.1M oz), Cobalt Load (4.5M oz). Combined cluster production exceeded 26 million ounces.
UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT
487.7m shaft with 8.5 miles of workings
Two shafts penetrate entire diabase thickness. Workings discovered silver on both upper and lower contacts. Near-flat fault structures similar to Duchess and Cobalt Load warrant drilling.
TAILINGS RECOVERY PROGRAM
Sonic Drilling Confirms High-Grade Tailings
2021 program: 354 meters in 127 holes. Silver grades 14-314 g/t from stamp mill tailings. Fine native silver missed by historic processing now recoverable with modern gravity circuits at TTL.
