The Halfmile-Stratmat integrated project is comprised of the Halfmile mine and the advanced exploration stage Stratmat project.
On Aug. 19, 2022, Trevali Mining Corporation announced that the Company had received an Initial Order for creditor protection from the British Columbia Supreme Court under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA").
On June 30, 2023, Trevali Mining Corporation announced that the Supreme Court granted an order in the Company's ongoing CCAA proceedings pursuant to which FTI Consulting Canada Inc., the Court appointed "Monitor", has been granted enhanced powers in the CCAA Proceedings with respect to the Company's business and affairs.
The Monitor's powers to manage the Company, the Company's remaining employees have ceased their employment with the Company.

Summary:
The Halfmile and Stratmat are volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits typical of the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC). The BMC hosts 45 volcanic-sediment hosted massive sulphide deposits and 95 occurrences, including the world-class Brunswick 12 Mine. BMC deposits formed in a sediment-covered back-arc continental rift during periods when the basin was stratified with a lower anoxic water column. The basin was subsequently intensely deformed and metamorphosed during multiple collisional events related to east-dipping subduction of the basin.
The VMS deposits typically form lenses of polymetallic massive sulphide. Most deposits are zoned vertically and laterally from a high temperature, vent-proximal, copper-polonium bismuth-rich veined and brecciated core to vent-distal zinc-lead-silver-rich hydrothermal sediments. The vent complex is commonly underlain by a highly deformed sulphide stringer zone that extends hundreds of metres beneath deposits and consists of veins and impregnations of sulphides, silicates, and carbonates that cut chloritized and sericitized volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
The sulphide minerals consist of disseminated and massive pyrite-sphalerite-galena and chalcopyrite. The sulphide minerals are fine- to medium-grained, and are coarser than those typically found in deposits of the BMC.
Disseminated mineralization, commonly of economic grade, occurs in the phyllitic sedimentary rocks as well as in the talc layers which locally gra ........

Summary:
At Halfmile, all run-of-mine (RoM) material will be mined by underground mining method. Sublevel open stoping (SLOS) and Sublevel Retreat (SLR) will be the main mining methods planned, supplemented by post pillar cut and fill (PPCF) and mechanized cut and fill (MCF) mining for Upper zone where mineralization dip angle is approximately at 39 degrees. All mining methods will employ either cemented or unconsolidated waste rock as backfill. The mine plan includes 92% of RoM tonnes from SLOS/SLR with down holes (up holes for sill pillar recovery) on 20 m sublevels and cemented or unconsolidated waste rock fill, and 8% of RoM tonnes from PPCF/MCF with unconsolidated waste rock and cemented waste rock (sill level stopes only). There is no permanent sill or rib pillar considered for the SLOS/SLR mining. Limited sill pillars were planned only for the two trial mining opened mining fronts.
At Stratmat, RoM material will be mined by underground mining, too, similar to Halfmile underground mining except there is no PPCF/MCF mining method employed. RoM materials will be directly hauled by 45-tonne capacity underground trucks to Stratmat DMS plant for waste separation.
Due to the complex geometry and variability in strike and dip, the development of a tool box of mining methods is recommended in order to maximize extraction of the Stratmat project.
The most of the S1 Deep zone will tend to use transverse Sublevel open stoping (SLOS) supplemented with longi ........
