The work program will consist of extensive mapping of existing trenches, outcrop, oxidized zones and other previous workings including drill sites. Geochem sampling of large areas of the claim group along with sampling of all pits and trenches will be conforming with previous mapped and sampled areas which returned assays of greater than .01 oz/ton gold in the soil geochem.

These areas of greater than .01 oz/ton gold covered a large area of the claim group and give rise to the anticipated total indicated contained ounces of gold which could range from 1 to 2 million ounces.

The previously-announced Joint Venture agreement with Blackhawk Mines Corp Resources of Ontario, Canada, will provide Siga the additional financing to commence this work program as announced and expand this program if required to cover the total claim group.

The Company is currently focused on developing the Big Bear Claims located in San Bernardino County, California.

The Company is currently reviewing additional acquisitions in North America, as well as potential joint venture opportunities in South America.

Blackhawk Mines currently has a joint venture agreement with Siga Resources Inc., a Nevada company to earn a 50% joint venture interest in the Big Bear gold mining property near LucerneValley, San Bernardino County, California.

San Bernardino County is the largest County in California, and in fact the largest County in the United States. It is an intensely mineralized area, with records indicating more than 250 mines recorded in the area. Commodities from industrial minerals to gold and silver have been produced since the mid 1800s and still form a large part of the local economy, therefore the governments and agencies are generally mining friendly. The area remains an important cement and industrial production area

The area has been known as the Blackhawk Mining district in most reports. The district was organized in 1870, when an English concern organized the Santa Fe group in 1890 to work the area on a large scale, but work stopped soon afterward and prospecting was minor during the early 1900s. The Santa Fe group was re-opened in 1921 and operated continuously until 1940. In this last operating phase the production amounted to a reported $300,000. ]]> https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/blackhawk-mines-corp-resources-announces-joint-venture-on-big-bear-mining-claims-in-san-bernardino-county-california https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/blackhawk-mines-corp-resources-announces-joint-venture-on-big-bear-mining-claims-in-san-bernardino-county-california Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:04:49 EDT normanjack https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/blackhawk-mines-corp-resources-announces-joint-venture-on-big-bear-mining-claims-in-san-bernardino-county-california

Two of the biggest mining firms in the world, Rio Tinto PLC and BHP Billiton Ltd are teaming up to invest over USD 4 billion to boost their copper output, according to their announcement on Tuesday.

Rio and BHP have staked their investment on a high copper demand worldwide as they approve plans for USD 4.5 billion expansion of their Escondida mine in Chile. BHP is even reopening their copper mine that has been out of commission since 2009 due to the global fiscal crisis.

The mining site that will produce molybdenum concentrate and copper is expected to have a yearly production of around 60,000 tonnes. Moreover, BHP expects that this resumption of operations will provide for 650 new jobs.

Majority of the money is set to be invested in the Escondida operation located in the southeastern part of Antofagasta, Chile. In addition to this, BHP is also planning to resume its operations at the Pinto Valley in Arizona before the year ends.

The recovery in ore grades combined with current work at Escondida should aid them in their target production of over 1.3 million metric tonnes by 2015. This is exclusive of the 60,000 tonnes of copper concentrate that the Pinto Valley is capable of producing yearly, according to BHP.

Last year, operations at Escondida was distracted by labor strikes and lower grade ores ... ]]> https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-blackhawk-mines-copper-demand-expected-to-rise https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-blackhawk-mines-copper-demand-expected-to-rise Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:04:49 EDT mblackhawk https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-blackhawk-mines-copper-demand-expected-to-rise

This blog regularly publishes news and details regarding mining-sites-turned-ghost-towns to educate people interested in history and to gather support for our cause from different parts of the world.



Our group is presently working alongside other associations to keep ghost towns, like the BlackHawk, Colorado, in the map; perhaps, even to try and make them a tourist spot. ]]> https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-terms-and-conditions https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-terms-and-conditions Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:04:49 EDT mblackhawk https://the-looser-it-s-me.net/story/black-hawk-mines-bulletin-terms-and-conditions
