The company drilled the No.1 and No.2 shear zones over a length of about 1,000 metres and to a depth of 300 metres between 2010 and 2012. Both structures are open along strike and at depth. anitou is planning a 150-metre-long ramp structure to access the No.2 shear below the high grade zone. Test mining will proceed upward through the zone using cut and fill methods. The company has begun the permitting process as well as consultations with local stakeholders.
