The deposit was originally discovered in 1991 (Hemlo Gold Mines Inc.-Loki Gold Corporation) through a southern grid expansion, the Classic Zone was then being classified as an isolated, arsenic gold anomaly.

Key Points: 
  • The deposit was originally discovered in 1991 (Hemlo Gold Mines Inc.-Loki Gold Corporation) through a southern grid expansion, the Classic Zone was then being classified as an isolated, arsenic gold anomaly.
  • About Sabre Gold Mines Corp.
    Sabre Gold is a diversified, multi-asset near-term gold producer in North America which holds 100-per-cent ownership of both the fully permitted Copperstone gold mine located in Arizona, United States, and the Brewery Creek gold mine located in Yukon, Canada, both of which are former producers.
  • Sabre Golds two advanced projects have approximately 1.5 million ounces gold in the Measured and Indicated categories, and approximately 1.2 million ounces gold in the Inferred category.
  • Sabre Gold assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from such statements unless required by law.

Of the options studied, the most cost-effective approach would be to build one deep borehole repository for fuel from both the TRIGA II reactor and Slovenia's Krko nuclear power plant.

Key Points: 
  • Of the options studied, the most cost-effective approach would be to build one deep borehole repository for fuel from both the TRIGA II reactor and Slovenia's Krko nuclear power plant.
  • It concluded that deep borehole disposal is a viable, cost-effective solution for all of the five participating countries' high-level and intermediate-level long-lived nuclear waste.
  • If Slovenia decided to implement a deep borehole disposal repository for Krko fuel, then the simplest and most inexpensive way to dispose of the TRIGA II waste would be within that same repository, with the TRIGA II waste requiring just one additional disposal canister.
  • "Deep borehole disposal is an important alternative option for us to consider in Slovenia," said Leon Kegel, Head of Planning and Development at the Slovenian Radioactive Waste Management Organisation (ARAO).

Deep Borehole Disposal a cost-effective option for Croatia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovenia

The participating countries Croatia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovenia would still need additional disposal solutions (such as shallow land disposal facilities and/or mined repositories) for bulkier intermediate-level waste.

Key Points: 
  • The participating countries Croatia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovenia would still need additional disposal solutions (such as shallow land disposal facilities and/or mined repositories) for bulkier intermediate-level waste.
  • No decisions on deep borehole disposal or alternative options have been made in Norway.
  • Overall, Deep borehole disposal offers other significant benefits, including: greater location flexibility, faster implementation, and reduced financial risk because drilling costs are known.
  • "The nuclear industry has long suffered from a lack of safe, affordable nuclear waste disposal solutions," said Liz Muller, Deep Isolation CEO.
