The company has also completed the Phase I of the pre-production plan at the gold project and the Phase I program was conceived as a program of inspection and refurbishing to prepare the Ruby mine for the start-up of mining operations.
The Phase II work entails restoring underground ventilation throughout the entire length of the Ruby tunnel system.
The company said this is the first stage in reopening the Ruby tunnel entirely, from the Ruby Portal to the secondary exit at the Lawry Shaft, by clearing the underground workings of extraneous debris and re-timbering as-needed.
