Sidney Resources Corporation (OTC:SDRC) has released an exploration and development update for the Lucky Ben and Walla Walla project sites near Warren, Idaho.
The company expects that the route into Warren, which provides access to Lucky Ben, will be available between May 26 and June 18. Access to the Walla Walla project site is expected to begin around July 15.
The Walla Walla project is within the Marshall Lake Mining district in Idaho County. Approximately 10 miles from the Lucky Ben project, the Walla Walla Mine is a high-grade gold vein located near the historic Kimberly and Warren mining districts, the company said. The claim group consists of a total of 47 lode claims or 1.61 square miles.
Meanwhile, operations at the Lucky Ben project will be concentrated on the ore body located beneath the first previously mined stope and on modeling and projecting this year's production as a test case to accurately determine the nugget effect on assay results.
Lucky Ben is situated in the Warren mining district, about 110 miles north of Boise (NYSE:BZ), Idaho. Sidney Resources will produce resource models, such as fire tests and qualified person assessments. This is a test of modeling from assays, which should allow the company to determine how well the estimate performs with a clearly defined zone and the best way to account for the nugget effect in the assays.
The US Forest Service has also approved a permit for the construction of the new access road to Lucky Ben, which allows for up to five years to complete the road's construction.
