Welcome to Pacific Booker Minerals
The Company
Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (PBM) owns the Morrison property located in
Central British Columbia, 35 km north of the Village of Granisle.
Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. is in the advanced stage of development of the
Morrison porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum deposit. Wardrop Engineering Inc. has
been retained to conduct a Feasibility Study, which is expected to be completed
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. is proposing an
open-pit mining and milling operation for the production of
copper/gold/molybdenum concentrate from the Morrison deposit. It is within 29 km
of two former producing copper mines, Bell and Granisle.
The measured/indicated mineral resource established is 206,869,000 tonnes
grading 0.46% Cu equivalent. This consists of 0.39% Cu, 0.20gAu/t and 0.005% Mo.
The contained metal is 1,787,780,000 lbs Cu, 1,306,300 oz Au and 20,676,000 lbs
Mo. In addition there is an inferred mineral resource of 56,524,000 tonnes
grading 0.47% Cu equivalent consisting of 0.40% Cu, 0.21gAu/t and 0.005% Mo. The
contained inferred metal is 494,720,000 lbs Cu, 374,400 oz Au and 6,231,000 lbs
Mo.
The proposed mine will be an open pit with an ore production rate of 30,000
tonnes per day or 11 million tonnes of ore per year, producing approximately
155,000 tonnes of concentrate per year containing copper, gold and molybdenum.
Metallurgical test-work conducted by Process Research Associates and IME
Consultants indicates that the metallurgy of the Morrison deposit is relatively
straightforward and that good copper recoveries and acceptable concentrates can
be achieved. It is expected that "metallurgical recoveries would be very similar
to the recoveries achieved at the nearby Bell Mine."
Pit Geo-technical Investigations; Pit Slope Design; and Waste Management
Facility and Plant Site Geo-technical Investigations reports have been
completed.
Draft Terms of Reference (TOR) for an Application for an Environmental
Assessment Certificate under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act
SBC 2002, Chapter 43 have been submitted to the B.C. Environmental Assessment
Office. Comments from Government Agencies and First Nations are being
consolidated to finalize the TOR.
Environmental base line studies in support of the Environmental Assessment
Certificate, as well as the consultative processes with government regulators,
First Nations and local communities are expected to be completed in mid 2007.
Rescan Environmental Services Ltd. has been retained to complete the
requirements for the Environmental Assessment Certificate and permitting for
construction as per the TOR.
The Morrison deposit has the advantage of existing regional infrastructure to
service the region, including a deep-sea shipping terminal at the port of
Stewart, B.C., a road network, nearby power (20 km from the project site) and a
full service town (Granisle) within daily commuting distance from the project
site.
Permits and Licences are expected to be received in mid 2008 with mine
construction to follow.
