About Broadway Gold Mining Ltd.
Through its wholly owned Montana-based subsidiary, Broadway Gold Corp., the Company is focused on the exploration and development of its two mines, the Broadway and Madison mines, and the delineation of the porphyry source of their mineralization. The Company owns a 100% interest in the two mines and has staked an area of four-square-miles in the Butte-Anaconda region of Montana, a porphyry-based mining district. The Company is permitted for mining and exploration.
Approximately $20 million has been invested in the exploration, development and bulk sampling of the Madison mine since 2005. Whereas the Broadway mine produced 144,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.32 oz/ton Au from 1880 to 1950, the Madison produced bulk samples of 13,242 tons at an average grade of 25% Cu and 0.32 oz/ton gold from 2005 to 2011 (see Broadway news release dated October 17, 2016, citing historic production figures from Coronado Resources Ltd.).
In April 2019, Broadway and Kennecott Exploration Company, a division of the Rio Tinto Group, signed an earn-in agreement with option to enter into a joint venture for 70% interest after spending US$50 million. Subsequent to signing this agreement, Broadway signed a purchase arrangement to acquire a direct 85% interest in the historic Tsumeb Mine in Namibia, Africa, including the Tsumeb West Mine, Uris copper-vanadium mine and 50 km of prospective copper-vanadium exploration ground containing over 10 historic mining operations.
