Today is a good day for those of us who own shares in the Canadian gold miner Rubicon. With the release of good news announcing a 4-million ounce inferred gold resource estimate grading 20.1 grams per ton of gold at its F2 Gold System, part of its 100% owned Phoenix Gold project in Red Lake, Ont., shares are up 30% plus..... Not a bad way to start the week....
The inferred mineral resource estimate was prepared by Geoex Limited. ("Geoex") based on 166,886 metres of diamond drilling in 237 drill holes carried out between February 27, 2008 (the date of the initial discovery) and July 31, 2010. The estimate does not include approximately 41,702 metres of drilling completed since July 31, 2010. The inferred resource estimate was prepared using the polygonal calculation method (see below for details) which, in the opinion of Geoex, is the appropriate method and is typically used for this type of deposit. The cut-off used is considered to be an economically reasonable estimate of breakeven mining costs.
"We are very pleased with these initial results. They demonstrate that the F2 Gold System is already a significant sized gold deposit. Importantly, the gold grade of 20.1 g/t gold is high compared to most major gold deposits around the world and is consistent with the overall Red Lake camp average grade, which is Red Lake's key advantage. Our objective now, through our ongoing delineation program is to upgrade part of this large inferred resource, move towards development and to continue to expand the gold system. Underground development on the project has already cross-cut mineralized zones at the 305 metre level and delineation drilling is underway. Photographs of the new zones are available on the Company website at www.rubiconminerals.com." stated David Adamson, President and CEO.
