The 2025 Mustang Mine Plan has been completed and reviewed in collaboration with inspectors from the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals. As per regulatory requirements, the final mine plan will be submitted ten days before mining activities commence.
Geotechnical mapping of the Mustang decline and historic 980 level was conducted in November and December. The Ground Control Management Plan is on track for submission by the end of January. A ventilation audit was completed in December, and the Mustang Ventilation Plan is expected to be finalized by mid-January. Mobilization of the mining contractor is underway and is anticipated to conclude by the end of January.
Pre-construction activities at the portal are scheduled for February. These will include installing ventilation and safety infrastructure, re-establishing essential services (power, water, and compressed air), adding workshop and storage facilities, and performing ground support rehabilitation. Mine rescue personnel will also undergo training during this period.
Development work is set to begin in March at a rate of 6 meters per day on the Mustang 1060 Level to complete the undercut for the first long hole mining stope. Concurrently, work on the 1075 Level will provide access and facilitate the overcut for the first stope and subsequent mining zones.
The development rate is planned to remain at 6 meters per day until August, after which it will increase to 12 meters per day. The first long hole stope is scheduled for drilling and blasting in May, with the remainder of production during this period derived from development. Mining will focus on the Alhambra, BK, and BK9870 veins.
The onsite team has done a great job in preparing all of the necessary requirements to restart mining activities at the Bralorne Gold Project. We look forward to providing updates as we progress development activities.
