Hope Brook Gold Project

Initial work will include re-sampling of the historic core, prospecting, geophysics and a drill program expected to commence this quarter.

Michael Bandrowski, President & CEO of Big Ridge commented,

“With more than $11 million of cash in our treasury, we are excited about the start of our first phase program designed to unlock the full potential of the former producing Hope Brook Gold Project.”

Mr. Bandrowski continues,

“The known mineralization at Hope Brook provides a great resource to build on and the highly prospective targets in and around the deposit provide an opportunity to make further discoveries and potentially find the source of Hope Brook mineralization.”

Big Ridge owns 100 per cent interest in the highly prospective Oxford Gold Project located in Manitoba, 100 per cent interest in the Destiny Gold Project in Quebec and is exploring the Beardmore-Geraldton gold belt in Ontario.
