<br />• ~- <br />HENDRICKS MINING CO./CROSS MINE REPORT <br />January 1, 1990 - November 1, 1990 <br />The Cross Gold Mine remained under an exploration phase for the <br />first nine months of 1990. A total of 3000' of underground core <br />drilling and 4500' of surface core drilling took place. Surface <br />core sites were fully reclaimed immediately upon completion of <br />drilling. Extensive geological work took place, including <br />surface and underground mapping, generating rrew section maps from <br />previous and current drill data, and digitalizing sig,aificant <br />amounts of historic mine data onto floppy discs. <br />The mine was dewatered from Level One to Level Four and continued <br />improvements were made to the water discharge envirorrmental <br />system. Anew one torr skip was installed which included hoisting <br />and wirize modifications. A new 20'x20' core station #A was <br />excavated on the Fourth Level followed by 65' of 7'x7' develop- <br />ment drifting on the Fourth Level West Rare Metals Vein. Low <br />grade development ore from this drift was stockpiled on surface. <br />Thirty-seven feet of 7'x7' track drift was driven on the Tunnel <br />Level Apache Vein followed by 40' of 5'x8' raise and 64' of 4'x7' <br />sublevel drifting. Approximately 400 tons of development ore was <br />mined from this work and shipped to the Boulder Mill in August <br />and placed in stockpile. <br />The Company ran a mill test at the Boulder Mill between February <br />and March on 350 tons of development ore from Tunnel Level <br />Apache work completed during the fall of 1989. Approximately <br />11.324 dry tons of concentrate was shipped to the Cominco Smelter <br />in Trail, British Columbia in May which contained 42.0'i oz Au, <br />2,076 oz. Ag, 12.48 Pb, 15.08 Zri and 1.558 Cu. <br />Annual assessment work on the Company's unpatented claims took <br />place in the vicinity of the upper Boulder County workings. A <br />new plan map was completed and numerous assays were taken from <br />vein outcrops, trenches and glory holes. In Septemk~er, the <br />Company completed a 220' core hole approximately 1500' east of <br />the Cross Mine under the Homestead Lode and the portal was <br />reopened, timbered and the adit was fully secured for access. <br />Mapping and sampling was completed on this vein system. Oper- <br />ations were then temporarily suspended and the Cross Mine was <br />placed on a full maintenance closure basis while mine financing <br />negotiations continued. An exploration/development program is <br />expected to re-commence by January 5, 1991. <br />-90 <br />
