Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (SFMI): Update on Illinois Central Ore Dumps and Mill Construction
MURPHY, ID--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SFMI)
has begun moving the ore dumps from the Illinois Central Veins on War Eagle
Mountain to the stockpile at the Diamond Creek Mill site.
GoldCorp Holdings built a new road on its property in order to provide SFMI
more access to richer tailings atop War Eagle Mountain. A fleet of trucks will move as much ore as possible down the
mountain to SFMI's 100% owned Diamond Creek Mill and will continue this
transport until the weather becomes impossible to deal with in an
economical manner. Combined with the ore already being delivered from
SFMI's former Melba site, the Diamond Creek Mill will have enough material
to process throughout the winter months. Once spring arrives, SFMI will
recommence ore delivery to provide a consistent mill feed stock throughout
the 2010 operational cycle.
The Illinois-Central veins, on War Eagle Mountain, produced some of the
highest gold and silver returns per ton in the late 19th century and have
not been mined consistently since that time. Ore mined late in the 1800's
was reported to be 3.6 oz per ton. Combined with the ore from the Belle
Peck, production will, in the opinion of our experts, be increased
measurably.
On another front, the all steel mill building ordered from SFMI's supplier
has arrived on site, in perfect order, and the foundations and surface
plates are due to be poured this week.
Mr. Pierre Quilliam said, "The Illinois-Central vein is one of the primary
targets of the Company for early development. We look forward to developing
a strategy for recommencing ore production from this vein. Currently, we
are beginning the
refurbishing process for the Sinker tunnel, to allow our geologist and
surveyors to work in the tunnel during the winter months."
