Bathurst Metals Corp (www.bathurstmetalscorp.com) is a Vancouver based junior mining company focused on exploring and developing mineral properties in Nunavut, Canada. Bathurst Metals Corp holds a 100% interest in the Turner Lake, TED, McAvoy Lake and Gela Lake mineral tenures (“claims” or “properties”) which make up the TTMG Project. The TTMG Project (“TTMG” or the “Project”) is located in the West Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. The claims are located on Inuit land parcel BB-38 and are administered by the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA). The Project is located approximately 180 km south of Cambridge Bay and 60 km north northwest of Bathurst Inlet. Bathurst Metals Corp proposes a 5000m diamond drilling program that will focus on known gold occurrences located on the Turner Lake and Ted claims. This year’s drill program will operate seasonally during July and August is expected to take eight weeks to complete. If our work proves successful, our exploration work could take from five to ten years to complete (seasonal), followed by ten to twenty years for mine development, operation, and closure (year-round).No field camp will be required as the project will be based out of Bathurst Inlet Lodge. BMV geologists, drilling contractor and helicopter crew will enjoy the accommodation and catering services provided by the lodge. Ownership of the lodge is split 50:50 between the Warner family of Yellowknife and the Kapolak family of Cambridge Bay, under their business arm, Kingaunmiut Ltd. Day to day operation of the lodge is provided by Sam and Allen Kapolak along with their wives Susie and Connie. In total there will be up to four Bathurst Metals staff on the project made up of three geologists and one geotechnical/safety/first-aid person. The drilling contractor staff will consist of two drillers and two helpers.The helicopter crew will consist of a pilot and a field maintenance engineer. Up to three additional staff may be required for the project. Staffing projections include two Inuit students to work as field assistants. Ideally these two positions would appeal to those interested in pursuing a career in mineral exploration as they will gain experience in the technical aspects of mineral exploration. A third worker may be required to assist with the day-to-day operations of Bathurst Inlet Lodge in supporting the project. Crews will helicopter daily to and from the lodge to the drill location. The drilling program will use one diamond drill. The drill will be moved into the field and between drill pad locations using a helicopter. The drill will be diesel powered. Other equipment used at the drill may include a portable gas powered generator and a gas powered water pump.
