The mill is permitted and has processed ore from the Lakeview District on a regular basis over the last 10 years. The mill has a current capacity of 300 tonnes per day with the ability to be upgraded further (current Conjecture mine planning is for 100 tonnes per day). The proposed lease is an initial 15 year lease renewable for a further 2 periods of 15 years. The use of the mill is key in developing both the short and long term production plans for Conjecture.
In addition the Company has the option to acquire the patented and unpatented mining claims forming the historic Weber Mine. The Weber Mine is approximately 2.5 kilometres from the Conjecture Project in the Lakeview District with similar geology. The Weber Mine is historically an open pit mine and will assist with mine logistics in developing Conjecture and waste ore disposal.
