Cyprium Mining finalizes rehabilitation of shaft #3 of the Potosi Silver Mine
Mr. Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of Cyprium commented: “Over the last three months we have replaced almost 1.5 kilometers of railway tracks at level 0 and at level 4. This includes the installation of railway tracks between an existing raise from the level 4 proposed initial mining area to shaft #3 as well as the installation of railway tracks in the level 4 mining area where much of our near-term mining activities will take place. New air and water tubing has been installed and we have rehabilitated existing equipment including two air-loaders and a small electric locomotive. Once we have re-assembled the air compressor which was brought down into the mine last week, we will turn our focus on cleaning up old stopes in level 2, 3 and 4, retrieving existing mineralized material from past mining operations and initiating drilling and blasting.”
