Anglo Swiss Resources’ Kenville Mine Property Receives Permit

By Anonymous

Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. announced that its subsidiary. Kenville Sand and Gravel Inc., has been granted a mine permit (Q-5- 111) from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy Mines and Petroleum Resources to operate a quarry on the Anglo Swiss Resources Venango site of the Kenville Mine property near Nelson, British Columbia. The quarry will extract waste granitic rock from previous gold operations and will crush and screen the material on hand from previous tunneling on the Kenville property into drain rock size products for the local Nelson/Castlegar area aggregate market. Kenville Sand and Gravel plans to initially process 6.5 kt (7,164 st) of material to ensure the material is available for the start of the spring construction season.

The crushing and screening will be processed at the company’s recently refurbished Kenville mill and plant located approximately 500 m (1,640 ft) from the Venango waste rock dumps.

The crushed fines will be evaluated for metal content such as gold. As the waste rock contains numerous quartz veinlets sourced from the old Venango mine development. Kenville Sand anticipates the recovery of quartz fines, which are expected to contain gold and other metallic minerals.

Considering market conditions, Kenville Sand and Gravel is planning to expand its drain rock production by extracting waste rock material from other existing mine waste dumps on the property.

As per Section 21 of the British Columbia Mines Act, the owner, Anglo Swiss Resources, must appoint a qualified manager to be responsible as accordance to the Mines Act and the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. The company has appointed Edward J. Nunn, P. Eng. to act in the manager position.
