The Hislop Block is located immediately east of Matheson in the eastern part of Hislop and western part of Guibord townships. The block includes the former operating Hislop mine, which had underground and open pit production, with all mining being operated by SAG. Production from underground occurred in the early 1990s, producing approximately 200,000 tonnes grading 5.4 g/t gold for 35,200 ounces of gold and production from open pits occurred intermittently between 1999 and 2007 and produced approximately 250,000 tonnes grading 3.0 g/t gold for 24,000 ounces of gold.
Planned exploration at Hislop in 2022 includes geophysical surveying and diamond drilling with a budget of C$1.0 million. |
