Revett Minerals provided a status update on efforts to re-establish access to mining areas in the A and C Beds via the Lower Quartzite haulage route at its Troy Mine in northwest Montana since the suspension of underground activities in December 2012. Operating crews have recently completed the D Drive development into the southeast stope of the previously-mined Lower Quartzite ore zone within the North Ore Body. Initial observations reveal safe travel conditions to this point. Over the next 30 to 60 days, the company will continue to dewater and inspect further to the south to ensure this route meets operating standards. If assessments and inspections continue to indicate no further structural damage at the Lower Quartzite level, then the company could possibly resume mining operations as early as Q4.
