Noche Buena was purchased from Seabridge and opened as an open pit in ’12. Here’s historic drill grades. Should be a lot more info now is producing. I’ve seen some in Fresnillo financials but this was easy to find.
“The Noche Buena project is located in northwestern Sonora State, about 55 km from the city of Caborca and within the geological terrain that is host to several large gold deposits, including the La Herradura and Mesquite Mines. Seabridge Gold purchased the property in April of 2006 and completed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report (news release dated April 28, 2006) that confirmed a resource (at a cut off grade of 0.30 grams of gold per tonne) of 21.9 million tonnes of indicated resources grading 0.81 grams of gold per tonne (569,000 ounces)”
Checking our Mexico Properties site just the 6 vein portion BELOW open Julio 2 shaft ( .5 to 5.5 oz/ton) contains 4 million tons graded 2.5 g. or 1/3 million oz. Veins run way above the shaft as well to the hill top and shear zone and quartz zone are all separate areas below the veins. Old 2006 stuff down there on other side of hills but the reason it was opened up and not even in our class with still limited drills. 8
