The agreement was made through the company's 100 % owned subsidiary, Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. Following the terms of the Ore Hauling Agreement, gold ore will be transported by truck to the milling facilities located in either Craigmont, owned by Nicola Mining Inc., or New Afton, owned by New Gold Inc., for processing in tandem with the previously disclosed ore purchase and milling agreements.
Talisker is commencing the Ore Hauling Agreement by transporting approximately 6,300 tons of previously stockpiled material to the Craigmont milling facility for processing. The first shipment is scheduled for May 15th, 2024.
This Ore Hauling Agreement is a critical part of our operations and the partnership between Stromsten Enterprises and Bridge River Management Corporation, a wholly owned economic development corporation of the Bridge River Indian Band (Xwisten), provides for a direct participation of Bridge River Management in the Bralorne operations of Talisker. This Ore Hauling Agreement underscores Talisker’s commitment to building positive working relationships with Indigenous communities in the areas in which we work.
Terry Harbort, President and CEO, Talisker Resources Ltd
Steve Hughes, CEO of Bridge River Management LP, commented, “By having Xwisten people drive the trucks for ore hauling, this initiative not only supports capacity building within the community but also creates a pathway for future opportunities and sustainable development. It’s encouraging to see partnerships like this that prioritize community involvement and empowerment.”
