Osisko Mining Project Outlined

Osisko Mining has kicked off what it says will be a lengthy public consultation process on its Hammond Reef Gold project north of Atikokan.

The company held an open house Saturday in Atikokan to outline its plans to area residents.

Project Manager Anne Charland says they're in the pre-feasibility stage right now.

"Right now what were doing is that we have an extensive drill program that aims at defining the resource we have so we can go to (the)feasibility (stage)," says Charland.

Charland says on average the company is drilling about 22-thousand metres each month with as many as 17 drills on site.
