About Bluebird:
Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd (BMV.L) is a London listed South
Korea-focused resources company centred on bringing historically
producing gold mines back into production. The Company, led by a
team of proven mine rehabilitation experts, currently has two 100%
owned licensed high grade narrow vein mining projects, the Kochang
Gold and Silver Project ('Kochang') and the Gubong Gold Project
('Gubong'), which each have a defined route to low cost/ low capex
production with a cumulative target of producing 100,000 oz + Au
per annum. Additionally, the Company has the highly prospective
Batangas Gold Exploration Project in the Philippines, which has a
resource of 440,000oz Au of which 128,000oz Au is a reserve, and
has had c.US$20m invested in it to date. The management team has
invested cUS$2 million personally into the Company and believe,
following analysis of historic production and exploration data, as
well as extensive sampling, geological, geophysical, and
engineering studies, there is potential for in excess of 1.5
million oz of mineable gold in its Korean projects alone.
Kochang is an epithermal vein deposit with parallel vertical ore
bodies covering 8.3 sq km that reportedly produced 110,000 oz of
gold and 5.9 million oz of silver between 1961 and 1975. Consisting
of a gold and silver mine, there are currently four main veins and
a number of parallel subsidiary veins vein which have been
identified, as well as a newly identified cross-cutting vein.
Historic drilling indicates the veins continue to depth below the
current 250m mine and mapping shows the veins on surface providing
potential above and below the old workings. The veins extend to the
NE providing a strike length of 2.5km with 600m between the two
mines not exploited. There is potential to expand operations to the
southwest/northeast and to depth, as well as exploit the already
mined areas. The total current non JORC estimate is between 550,000
and 700,000 tonnes, with a range of grades between 5.2 g/t to 6.6
g/t gold, and 27.3 g/t to 34.8 g/t silver. Following the granting
of a Mountain Use permit, there is an estimated 6-to-9-month
development time to trial mining.
Gubong, which was historically the second largest gold mine in
South Korea has 9 granted tenements covering c.25 sq km. Gubong is
flat dipping with 9 veins extending 500m below surface and known to
extend at least a further 250m. However, the production opportunity
for Bluebird prior to looking at deepening the mine is the 25
levels already developed with all the remnants and unmined areas
left by the original miners. The 25 levels extend over 120 km in
total length which indicates the size of the opportunity. The Korea
Resources Corporation ('KORES') estimated 2.34M tonnes at some 6
g/t Au garnered from 57 drill holes over 17,715.3 metres. With
additional sampling, mapping, pit modelling and grade analysis,
plus the fact that Gubong is an orogenic deposit, which typically
have a depth of 2km compared to the current depth of 500m, the
Board believe it has a potential resource of 1 million + oz Au
in-situ, plus an estimated additional 300,000 oz Au from satellite
ore bodies.
