Prodigy Gold is launching a 60,000-metre drilling program at its Magino Mine project in northeastern Ontario.
In a Jan. 26 statement, the Vancouver junior miner said 27,000 metres of that campaign will focus on a proposed pit shell to better define its mineable gold calculations. Another 15,000 metres are allocated for resource expansion to examine targets southwest of the deposit.
The company said about 18,000 metres of drilling is devoted to “condemnation drilling,” designed to “sterilize” the areas where infrastructure, tailings and waste rock disposal may be located.
The Magino Mine, 40 kilometres northeast of Wawa, was in production from 1988 to 1992 by Muscocho Exploration.
The company began a preliminary economic assessment to study its open pit potential and expects to complete a full feasibility study later this year.
