UCOI Deer Trail Mining Company & Behre Dolbear and Company (USA), Inc. -
In November 2006,
Deer Trail Mining Company -
modified and expanded the prev. agreement with -
Behre Dolbear and Company (USA), Inc. -
dolbear.com
The new agreement and work order adds several new areas -
of consulting that will fall under -
Behre Dolbear's -
scope of services on -
the Deer Trail project.
Under these new revisions Behre Dolbear -
ex. will assemble all the available data relating to -
the locations, volumes, and grades of the tailings that -
Deer Trail intends to process through the Project's mill.
Based on the information available, Behre Dolbear
ex. will estimate the volumes, tonnages, and grades -
of those tailings and will, if needed,
recommend a drilling program to better define those -
tonnages and grades.
Behre Dolbear -
ex. will summarize the results of the drill core logging -
completed to date and correlate those results -
with pertinent assays of material from those holes
to determine the factors from the logging that relate
to and facilitate the location -
of significant mineralization.
With Deer Trail's -
assistance, Behre Dolbear -
ex. will assemble all the available data -
(mineralization, rock types, structure, alteration, etc.)
from past drilling and mining, focusing on -
the 3100-3400 zone in the PTH adit -
ex. before additional drilling is done,
the results of the logging, analyses,
and observations by Behre Dolbear -
should be combined with the data and results -
from previous work to develop a three-dimensional model -
of the deposit.
Development of that model will require data
from surface and underground mapping, previous mining,
and drilling from this and previous campaigns.
All of this data on lithologies, structures,
mineralization, and alteration must be put together
on maps and cross sections to build the model.
