Braveheart Resources (BHT) has updated the ground control management plan for its Bull River Mine Project.

The project is located approximately 50 km from Cranbrook, British Columbia.

The plan underpins the overall mine design and requires specific geotechnical controls to be maintained to achieve compliance and ensure a safe working environment.

It provides guidance to mine engineers and geologists in the design of underground workings and a framework for monitoring quality control of ground support.

The plan is an essential component of the requirements for the Mines Act and Environmental Management Act Permit application, currently under review by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

The mine is fully developed and dewatered to a vertical depth of 350 metres with 21,000 metres of underground developments in terms of ramps, raises and sill drifting.

In the first phase of the mine’s restart, the company plans to process a 180,000-tonne stockpile of mineralized material, already on surface, consisting of copper, gold and silver.

In the second phase, the company plans to resume development and mining activities in the underground at a rate of 700 tonnes per day. Around 75 per cent of the current underground resource is accessible from current workings with seven lateral or sill drifts already established in the mineralized structures.

Braveheart (BHT) is a mining company primarily focused on two near-term copper production assets in Canada.

Braveheart Resources Inc. (BHT) was down 10.53 per cent, trading at C$0.085 per share as of 12:05 pm ET.
