Braveheart Resources (BHT) has announced plans to resume drilling from underground workings at the Bull River Mine Project.

The purpose of the drilling program will be to test the down-dip extension of the vein systems under the current workings.

Approximately 1,000 metres of drilling is planned for the second quarter of 2021. This program was originally initiated in March 2020 but suspended due to health and safety protocols resulting from the onset of COVID 19 after the completion of 831 metres of drilling.

The company plans to follow up on the results of the 2020 drilling program and on several historical diamond drill holes that are located below the current workings.

One historical drill hole, BRU00-035 that is located below and to the east of the current resource model of the Main South Vein, yielded a composite average of 2.86% Cu over 9.9 metres including 4.27% Cu over 6.0 metres.

A second historical drill hole, BRU09-10 yielded a composite average of 3.21% Cu, 21.29 g/t Ag and 1.18 g/t Au over 4.15 metres. 

All five holes from the spring 2020 program intersected mineralized structures in the central portion of the South Vein at depths of approximately 115 metres below 9 Level, which represents the deepest level of the mine about 350 metres below the elevation of the mine portal.

Braveheart is a Canadian-based junior mining company focused on exploration and development in favourable Canadian mining jurisdictions at or near past-producing properties.

Braveheart’s main asset is the 100% owned Bull River Mine Project near Cranbrook, British Columbia.
