Globex Mining

Consolidated Big Valley Resources has begun the permitting process to dewater the Rousseau mine optioned from Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX: GMX) to take a bulk sample of 40,000 tonnes to confirm the historic (pre-National Instrument 43-101) grade and recovery for mineral reserves as calculated in 1985 by OP Resources. It reported proven and probable resources totalling 39,600 tonnes at 13.7 g/t gold (Au) accessible from the existing ramp.

The resource estimates cited above for the Granada mine and Rousseau mine properties predate, and therefore do not conform to, the more stringent reporting requirements of NI 43-101 and should not be relied upon according to those standards. The company has begun but not done sufficient work yet to verify or classify the historical estimates as a current mineral resource and the company is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral reserve or resource. The company believes that the historical estimates provide a favourable indication of the gold potential of the properties, and intends to embark on an extensive recommended exploration program of the original five veins on the Granada mine property and on the two veins of the Rousseau mine property in order to quantify new resources plus upgrade historical resource categories to NI 43-101 compliance.
