TH CENTRAL REGIONS W inte r 20 1 8 49 InZinc Mining Ltd. completed a drilling project on its Indy project, following up on 2017 geochemical surveys, mapping and prospecting. Ten holes were completed and all intersected sphalerite and galena in what appears to be structurally modified, sedimentary-hosted mineralization. Specialty metal projects Taseko Mines Ltd. drilled 25 holes totalling about 3,000 metres within the previously-drilled perimeter of its Aley niobium project to obtain samples for metallurgical testing in advance of an updated technical report. Coal projects Atrum Coal Panorama Inc, with partner JOGMEC (Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation), completed 1,979 m of drilling in eight holes at the Panorama North anthracite coal project. Conuma Coal Resources Ltd. carried out a 38-hole on-lease drill program at its Willow Creek mine west of Chetwynd. Drilling intersected complex structures, consistent with the exposed areas of the mine. HD Mining International Ltd. received Mines Act approval for its Murray River underground coal mine. With all necessary approvals now in place, an investment decision is expected within a year. The proposed mine contains a Proven reserve estimated at 291 million tonnes of mineable coal. Industrial mineral projects The environmental assessment review and Mines Act permit process is underway for Graymont Western Canada's Giscome lime production project. Initially, up to 600,000 tonnes of limestone would be quarried annually, with the crushed stone moved by truck to vertical lime kilns near Giscome, and the product transported by existing rail lines to service mining and pulp and paper operations in northern British Columbia. Construction is expected to begin in 2019 or 2020. w w w .
