Mr. Cormier,

Thank you again.

I have been involved with placer mining for many years and I also know abt some real good deposits, but unfortunately they are too deep to be mined economically. These deposits are abt 200 feet deep to bedrock, and they are located in the "White Channel" in Dawson City , Yukon. They tried to tunnel underneath but the gravels started to thaw. Then they put in refrigerator units but the machinery just made it too warm.

So for all if this deposit has their main values of gold on the floor of this channel, then there will be 500 to 2500 meters of overburden to remove. I sure hope this is not the fact,cause it would greatly increase the cost of extraction of the gold .

Again I say, I hope this will be a rich and viable deposit.
