FTCO - Fortitude Gold Production Trounces Target In Prelude To Resource Increase
- Fortitude announced 2nd Quarter gold production at 14,579 gold ounces, soundly beats mine plan estimate of 10,000.
- Isabella Pearl mine is located in a prolific gold producing region known as Nevada's Walker Lane Mineral Belt, where open pit heap leach mining (OPHL) is prevalent.
- High grade gold north of 1 gram per ton is highly profitable for OPHL mining, while 2 grams is exceptional. Isabella Pearl Q1 results registered 5 grams per ton average.
- Isabella Pearl gold reserves warrant an upgrade based on actual mining results. 300,000 ounces seems likely with an upside to 360,000.
