China Minerals Mining Corporation announced the commencement of a short surface exploration program at its Cassiar Gold project in Northern B.C. A crew of six is conducting geological mapping, prospecting and silt-sampling over a 40 square kilometre area in the southeast portion of the large Cassiar property. The area is underlain by volcanic rocks which host local gold deposits and structurally covers the southern extension of the Table Mountain Gold vein system. Michael Guo is supervising this program while familiarizing himself with the previously mined Taurus and Table Mountain gold deposits.
