On January 4, 2011, Metanor released the findings from a pre-feasibility study at Bachelor Lake showing underground production of approximately 200,000 ounces over an initial three and a half year mine life, and the Bachelor Lake Gold Project has significant exploration upside. Production is expected to begin during 2012 with a ramp up to full commercial production by the end of 2012.

The Bachelor Lake Mine is projected to produce an average of 60,000 ounces of gold per year and will be utilizing the low cost, long hole mining method along with an existing, and fully functional, operating mill and surface infrastructure. Metanor also recently announced that it will be investing CAD$1.4 million in definition drilling to increase the known measured and indicated mineral resources at Bachelor Lake.

 

“We are very pleased with the acquisition of the Bachelor Lake gold stream,” stated Nolan Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sandstorm Resources. Mr. Watson continued, “Bachelor Lake gives us further diversification in a low risk geographic area with significant expansion and exploration upside.”
