At the present time, our crew is now retimbering the area around the Wolf Vein workings, a key location 3,000 feet within the Ruby tunnel. The Wolf Vein is a quartz vein deposit known to be hosted in the bedrock underlying the intersection of the Bald Mountain and Deep Rock Creek Channels, and it will be one of our primary developmental targets after mining operations begin. To date, the crew has replaced more than 30,000 board feet of mining timber, and installed nearly 3,000 feet of new ventilation duct. We have now rehabilitated and advanced approximately halfway through the Ruby Tunnel towards our primary mining target, which is the "Big Bend" section of the Black Channel, the location where C.L. Best extracted the world famous Ruby nuggets, and the section of the mine where Best was forced to stop mining in 1942 by order of the US Government during World War II.
