ting into the remote
mountain.

In its finished form the
mine will employ from
30 to 50 full time people,
and all ore processing
will be done on the site.

removed by aircraft. The
lifespan of the operation
is estimated to be ten
years, with a possible
five additional years of
reserves.

Esso Minerals and
Sumac Mines recently
released the Stage II
development report on
their joint venture pro-
perty at Kutcho Creek,
approximately 100
kilometres east of Dease
Lake. The report con-

cludes that, after ex-
ploratory drilling,
sampling and

metallurgical testing, the
500 hectare site contains
an estimated 14 million
tons of high-grade cop-
per and zine ore interm-
ingled with significant
quantities of silver and
gold,

The development pro-
posal calls for conven-
tional strip-mining tech-
niques, with on-site ore
concentrating plants and
camp accommodation
for operating crews. Pro-
jected direct employment
in the mine is estimated
to be a peak of 400 full-
time jobs during the two-
year construction phase
and an operating staff of
nearly 300 after comple-
tion, The report states
that most of the jobs will
be filled by workers from

the northwest, and it
proposes Smithers as a
staging area for crew
rotation.

The site is presently
accessible only by air,
but road access will even-
tually be required to ship
out the ore concentrate.
The proposal calls for a
road connection to
Highway 37 at Dease
Lake in order to truck

the product to Stewart,
where it will be shipped
out through Esso’s exist-

‘ing dock structure.. The

road construction is cur-
rently the subject of dis-
cussions between the
B.C. Ministry of High-
ways and the two mine
proponents; discussions
have just begun, and no
information is available
on their progress.
