Things are looking up for West Timmins Mining(WTM) as their Rusk gold property continues to expand just ouside of Timmins to the southwest. The Rusk property is a joint venture with Lake Shore Gold(LSG) having a 60% interest with the balance belonging to WTM within the Timmins Gold Belt. In a December 2nd news release, WTM reported that they had a drill core result of 10.4 metres across bearing 11.20 grams of gold, their best yet in deeper drilling.
Our Beach property joint ventured with WTM is a few kilometers north east of the Rusk find. On the Beach property occurrences of gold from past drilling exist and it remains very prospective as they are closely situated to the Rusk property and to Lake Shore Gold's 1.3 million ounce resource.
The geology at the Rusk property is very similiar to the geologic setting at the past producing multi-gold ounce deposits of the McIntyre and Dome Mines. Here's hoping that before our joint venture termintes on 6-10-10 that WTM decides to go deep on our two ventured claim blocks with them.
