About Anglo Swiss
Anglo Swiss is a mineral exploration company focused on creating shareholder value through the development of its advanced staged Kenville Gold Mine property located in southeastern British Columbia.
The Kenville Gold Mine has 6 levels with the main production levels known as the 257 Level and the 275 Level. The 257 Level has a NI 43-101 report under review with a resource of 590,518 tonnes and 250,845 ounces of gold. Work is underway on the 275 Level to expand the known gold resource within the Kenville Gold Mine footprint. Underground and surface drill programs are in the permitting stage for the months ahead to expand the gold resource to depth within the Mine and to further explore the Eagle Vein system, the Jackpot Mine claim and the White claim. A 375 meter drift is in the permitting stage to provide access from the 257 level to the Eagle Vein structure that runs parallel to Level 257.
The newly expanded 200 tonne per day pilot plant is expected to be operational prior to the end of the year. The Kenville Gold Mine is one of the oldest and most prolific producers in the district, producing intermittently from 1890 to 1954, with the bulk of production from 1899 to 1912.
