Broadway Gold Mining has recently begun both surface and underground
mining at its Madison Mine, advancing exploration at the historic gold-copper
project in the Butte-Anaconda mining district of Montana and netting the
attention of industry watchers.
In a Feb. 27 press release, Broadway Gold
Mining Ltd. (BRD:TSX.V;BDWYF: OTCQB) announced the onset of underground
drilling at the 100%-owned Madison project. The phase 1 underground drilling
program is being conducted in tandem with a phase 2 surface drilling program
announced in a Feb. 21 press release.
The company states the underground drilling program has two goals:
"testing the down dip continuation of the copper and gold mineralization
on the 600 Level; and exploring the newly discovered mineralization to the
west of the decline."
Broadway's surface exploration program, which got underway in January, was
expanded earlier in February, when "alteration and mineralization
observed in the eight holes drilled to date provide[d] confidence that
additional drilling [was] warranted," the company stated on Feb. 21.
According to the company, the 100%-owned Madison Mine, with a 130-year
mining history and proximity to the renowned Butte copper mine, encompasses
450 acres and "consists of six patented claims and 35 unpatented claims,
plus a 192-acre ranch, together with exploration permits, rights, interests,
buildings and fixtures."
Exploration by the previous owner "confirmed the existence of
high-grade gold and copper zones prior to bulk testing," the company's
fact sheet states. In addition, the Madison project "also hosts the
Broadway gold mine, which from the 1880s through to the 1950s yielded
approximately 144,000 ounces of gold."
In an article published in the February/March 2017 issue of Resource
World, Ellsworth Dickson lists Broadway Gold Mining as one of eight
companies to watch, based on "the three M's: Money, Management, and
Mineral Project."
The property, Dickson notes, "hosts a copper-gold skarn deposit and a
potentially deeper copper-gold porphyry deposit, has extensive underground
development and related facilities."
Kyle Born, in an article for Canadian Mining and Energy, stated
Broadway's "opportunity stems from finding an undervalued asset,
upgrading it and finding out what its true potential is." The company,
which was listed on the Toronto Venture stock exchange in 2016, "will
rely heavily on [chairman Duane] Parnham's 30-plus years of experience in the
mining industry to get it started on the right track." Born added.
Parnham expressed his optimism about the company's prospects in a January interview with MiningWeekly, explaining, "Our
opportunity comprises a substantial land package as well as a large data set,
with existing infrastructure allowing for underground exploration work. The
deep-seated copper porphyry is the source of the vein-type mineralisation
we're seeing. We will be tracing the high-grade skarns looking for the source
of the mineralisation, while shipping the ores to a nearby smelter for
toll-milling."
In the Feb. 21 release, Parnham noted, "Copper and gold prices
continue to show strength, supporting our theory that Broadway is uniquely
positioned to deliver an advanced-stage exploration project with near-term
production potential."
Parnham elaborated on prospects for the copper and gold markets in an interview with Kitco published Jan. 20, when he asserted
that the Trump presidency will bring long-term benefits to the commodity and
resource sectors. Parnham told Kitco that "not only will Trump's plan to
cut regulations be positive for the mining sector, but his economic and
fiscal proposals will boost demand for raw materials."
