Avanti Mining announces alternative site for TMF

Avanti Mining reports an alternative location for a Tailings Management Facility for its Kitsault molybdenum project has been identified.

Avanti is currently advancing its Feasibility Study. It has been studying alternative TMF sites since the PFS was published in November 2009, under the direction of Knight Piesold. The study involved the selection of a more optimum TMF site after evaluating initial capital cost, operating cost, construction schedule and environmental considerations. Several alternative TMF sites have emerged from this study, with a site located approximately two kilometers east of the mine ultimately being selected. This alternative TMF site will become the focus of the Feasibility Study and the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act review of the Kitsault Project.
