Millstream Executes MOU Regarding Potter Mine Tailings Remediation Projec
Millstream has drilled, sampled and assayed the tailings confirming a calculated average grade at 0.2% copper, 1.5% zinc and 0.05% cobalt contained within approximately 480,000 tons from past milling operations carried out between the years 1967 to 1972 (see PR dated Feb. 7, 2000). The zinc was never recovered from the mined ore. This potential asset has an in situ metal value based on current market prices for copper of US $2.60/lb., zinc at US $1.20/lb. and cobalt at US $25.00/lb. totaling CDN $ 42,840,000 (using 1.25 CDN conversion factor).
KBR is currently dealing with the Ministry directly in order to ensure that all necessary permitting is attained and all relevant regulations are adhered to. More information will be forthcoming as it becomes known.
As a result of this new development, the company will in short order be submitting an application to the TSX Venture Exchange for reinstatement of its trading status.
