Mining Contractor Site Visit for Planned Bulk Sample
October 20, 2020
Vancouver, BC – Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) (TSXV: EAU) announces the
completion of a site visit by an independent mining contractor that was engaged to review the
existing infrastructure at the historic Engineer Gold mine and to provide recommendations
regarding ore excavation and extraction of a planned bulk sample from the historic workings of
the high-grade Engineer Mine, which produced 18,000 oz gold at an average grade of 39 grams
per tonne.
The focus of the site visit was to provide:
• General plan and scope for the potential future extraction of mineralized rock via the
existing mine workings
• Feasibility for establishing a new muck handling system f rom the existing internal shaft
working and muck haul via 5 Level rail haulage equipment
• High level breakdowns (by levels and areas) requiring work to establish the
infrastructure necessary to enable the safe and cost-effective mineral extraction from the
existing 6 Level and lower levels to be developed in the future.
Upon receiving all necessary approvals, t he anticipated bulk sample will be extracted based on
the following assumptions:
• The proposed mining method will be shrink-stope mining with ore chutes
• Hand-held drills will be utilized to ensure the optimal stoping width and minimal dilution
focusing strictly on the ore vein with a minimum width of approximately 1 meter
• Estimated ore haulage to be 30 to 40 tons daily delivered to truck dump at portal
Company President Andrew H. Rees commented “Engineer’s board of directors and
management team are encouraged with the results of this independent site visit and review, that
had the objective of evaluating the current infrastructure at the Engineer Mine and technical
aspects with respect to initiating anticipated bulk sample operations. The Company is working
towards acquiring all necessary regulatory approvals to allow for a bulk sample to commence in
2021.”
