Sage Gold (CVE:SGX) has just come off more than doubling the gold ounces at its Clavos deposit in the Timmins gold camp of Ontario, and is now set for further expansion at the project – which it hopes to advance to production. 

Sage Gold (CVE:SGX) unveiled Tuesday a new resource estimate for its Clavos gold deposit in the Timmins gold camp of Ontario, showing more than doubled growth in gold ounces. 

The company intends to maintain a primary focus on the redevelopment of the Clavos Mine and become a significant Canadian gold producer over the next five years.

This year’s drilling comes amid a busy period for Lydian as it pushes towards the development of the known deposit. It is working to complete an updated feasibility study, including a new mine layout, and that is on-track for completion early in the third quarter.

Klondex Mines (TSE:KDX) (OTCQX:KLNDF) has reported more drill results from its Fire Creek gold project in Nevada ahead of initial production projected for later this year, with such high grades in new, unexplored areas prompting the gold developer to delay its resource update. 

Kirkland Lake Gold (TSE:KGI) (LON:KGI) is moving away from the use of diesel with the introduction of lithium-ion battery scoops and trucks in its underground gold mines and will save capital investment as a result. The use of this technology both saves large capital investment and is a welcome environmentally-friendly alternative fuel source without diesel or any other emissions underground.

Tamaka Gold, an advanced stage gold exploration company with multiple assets in Ontario, Canada, is moving ahead with work on its lead project with an eye to producing a resource update in short order.

Casimir Capital's Eric Winmill says he views the metallurgical sampling results released by Klondex Mines (TSE:KDX) on Wednesday as a positive for the company, even boosting his estimates for pre-commercial production this year.
