McEwen Mining releases new Tamarack resource estimate? MCEWEN MINING ANNOUNCES POTENTIAL NEW SOURCE OF REVENUE AT THE BLACK FOX COMPLEX McEwen Mining Inc. has provided an updated mineral resource estimate for the Tamarack gold and base metal deposit at the 100-per-cent-owned Black Fox complex in Matheson, Ont. The Black Fox complex comprises the Black Fox mine and the Tamarack, Gibson-Grey Fox, Froome and Stock zones. The base metal component of the Tamarack resource is being included for the first time. "This is the first time that base metals have been in incorporated into a resource estimate for the Tamarack project. With further drilling, we are excited to see how the project develops into what could be an additional revenue stream at Black Fox," said Rob McEwen, chairman and chief owner. The new resource estimate increased from 41,000 inferred ounces gold at a grade of 6.23 grams per tonne gold (previous resource effective Oct. 31, 2017) to 127,000 indicated ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 5.08 grams per tonne gold equivalent with the inclusion of silver, lead and zinc mineralization. The updated resource estimate for Tamarack is the result of 46 new surface and underground exploration, delineation, and definition drill holes completed between October, 2017, and April, 2018, and already-existing base metal assays not considered in previous estimates. http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=Z-C:MUX-2613647
