Wed 29 Mar 2000 News Release
See Gold City Industries Ltd (GC) News Release
Mr. J. Frank Callaghan reports
The boards of directors of International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. and Gold
City Industries Ltd. have signed a letter agreement has been signed to form
a joint venture on Gold City's Promise mineral claim group. The
2,125-hectare Promise group adjoins Wayside's Cariboo gold project near
Wells, B.C.
In exchange for acquiring a 75-per-cent joint venture interest in the
Promise group, Wayside will make exploration expenditures of $50,000 on the
claims prior to Dec. 31, 2001, and will deliver 25,000 free-trading common
shares of Wayside to Gold City.
The Promise joint venture is the second undertaking this year between the
companies. On March 3, Gold City and Wayside announced in Stockwatch the
formation of a joint venture (interest Wayside 75 per cent and Gold City 25
per cent) to explore the 275-hectare Myrtle and 250-hectare Proserpine
properties, subject to approval by the property vendor, Newmont Exploration
of Canada Limited.
The Myrtle claim is contiguous with a new zone of gold mineralization
recently discovered at the Cariboo gold project (Stockwatch March 23 2000).
The new zone in the footwall of the B.C. vein, has been drill tested over a
distance of 180 metres. Drilling is continuing, and assay results will be
released as they become available. On surface, the B.C. vein is on
Wayside's ground, 150 metres southeast of the Myrtle claim. The vein dips
into the Myrtle claim below the 4000-foot elevation (1,500 level of the
Cariboo gold quartz mine).
All the subject properties are near Wells and the historic town of
Barkerville in north-central British Columbia. This area was the terminus
of the Cariboo Gold Rush (1961 to 1971), and the site of prolific placer
gold production. Lode gold mining commenced 70 years later (1930s) and
continued for 30 years. Previous recorded production from the mining camp
and surrounding area is 3.9 million ounces of gold, of which 1.3 million
ounces was lode and 2.6 million ounces was placer.
Wayside is in the process of submitting an application to the B.C.
Environmental Assessment Office to develop a 3,000 tpd open pit and
underground gold mining operation at the Cariboo group site.
Both parties are looking forward to exploration and development of the
properties in this historic gold mining camp.
