The Timmins West includes three mineralized gold deposits; the Timmins Deposit, Thunder Creek Deposit, and 144 Gap Deposit.
The Timmins Deposit mineral resource extends from near surface (surface is at 10,015m elevation on the mine grid) to approximately 1,525m below surface. There are three main geological mineralized zones; Vein Zone, Footwall Zone, and Ultramafic Zone. Each zone is further comprised of smaller zones, separated by waste rock. The zones vary in transverse width from 1.5m to approximately 30m. Generally, the mineralized domain strikes east-west and dips 55 degrees to the north, although locally individual zones are shallower dipping.
The Thunder Creek mineral resource is approximately 750m south of the Timmins Deposit and extends from 190m to 970m below surface. Thunder Creek consists of the Rusk Zone and the Porphyry Zone and is generally massive, striking east-west and dipping 60 degrees to the north.
The 144 Gap mineral resource is approximately 900m southwest of the Thunder Creek Deposit and extends from 600m to 1,070m below surface with a strike length of approximately 395m. The mineralized domains dip approximately 70 degrees northeast.
The Timmins, Thunder Creek, and 144 Gap Deposit mineral reserves will continue to be extracted using underground mining methods and are accessed via the existing 5.5m diameter shaft and portal/ramp (5m x 5m) from surface.
