About the Lovitt Gold Mine
The Lovitt Gold mine produced 420,000 oz of gold at an average grade of 0.40 oz/ton (13.7 gm/t) and 620,000 oz silver over a sixteen-year period, suspending operations in 1966 due to poor economics for gold when expenses were rising and the gold price was fixed. The adjoining Cannon mine to the north produced 1,200,000 oz of gold and 1,900,000 oz of silver between 1984 and 1995 at an average gold grade of 0.30 oz /ton (10.3 gm Au/t) with 180 employees vs 20 employees at the Lovitt Mine.
The Company has a substantial historic database of in-house and third-party diamond drill holes, geologic and working maps, and operational gold assays that precede 43-101. Currently compliant 43-101 drilling is required to develop a modern resource that may or may not be economic. Historic operational maps with assays may be viewed at: www. lovittresources.com . This data will be invaluable in spotting future diamond drillholes, but it should be noted that all material at the link is historic, pre-dates 43-101, andtherefore cannot be totally relied upon for investment purposes.

Lovitt plans to resume exploration at Lovitt mine
2020-06-01 14:40 ET - News Release
Mr. Lorne Brown reports
Lovitt Resources Inc. intends to resume exploration for gold at its wholly owned Lovitt gold mine, located near Wenatchee, Wash. The Lovitt Gold Mine produced 420,000 oz of gold and 600,000 oz of silver at a gold grade of 0.40 oz/ton (13.7 gm/t) with a small operation employing fifteen people between 1950 and 1966. The adjoining Cannon Mine, a mile to its north, produced 1,200,000 oz of gold at a grade of 0.30 oz/ton (10.3 gm/t) and 1,900,000 oz of silver between 1985 and 1995 with 180 employees. At today's gold price the Wenatchee Gold Belt would have produced an equivalent value of $2.8 billion. The mine is surrounded by 250 freehold acres of land owned by the Company making access totally private. This land is a major asset of the Company since it is on the books of the company at 1950's prices of $50 per acre. The company has not financed in the public markets since 2014 since land excess to mine security was sold for $70,000 per acre to generate working capital. The company expects to announce a Unit Financing of a share and a warrant in the near future.
The Lovitt Gold Mine is an epithermal type of deposit with low grade, widespread gold mineralization coupled with extensive silicification and quartz veins hosting higher grade mineralization in meta-sediments similar to the Carlin-type deposits of Nevada. The Company intends to raise funds for a deep drilling program this summer to test for ore below existing workings. The Company also intends to explore a surface area for gold indicated by archival 1950's working maps, before the advent of back-hoes and excavators, to assess the potential for surface mining on the property. Kinross Gold has a mill in Republic, WA that could process any ore discovered at a grade of 8.6 gm/t gold or higher. Kinross tested ore from the Lovitt Mine in the past and reported a recovery rate of about 91%.

This looks promising! The Buckhorn mine and Kettle River mill are owned by Kinross Gold...
State, feds to consider gold exploration near Buckhorn
By K.C. Mehaffey
Friday, December 3, 2010
CHESAW — Owners of a gold mine near Chesaw want to explore for more gold on 10,000 acres surrounding Buckhorn Mine.
If approved, the gold mine owners could build up to 72 miles of new roads, 675 new drill pad sites, and drill 965 exploration holes on state, federal and private land over five years.
The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and state Department of Natural Resources will analyze the proposal by Echo Bay Exploration, a subsidiary of Kinross Gold, which owns the Buckhorn Mine near Chesaw.
The U.S. Forest Service and state Department of Natural Resources are working together to issue an environmental impact statement on the company’s proposal, said Phil Christy, Buckhorn Mine coordinator for the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
The DNR has already identified potential issues, such as disturbing land now used by wildlife, cattle, members of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and people who recreate in the area.
Noise, noxious weeds and added road use also were listed as possible impacts from the proposed test drilling.
The exploration could lead to a proposal for another gold mine in the area, which would require additional environmental review and permitting, Christy said.
Okanogan Highlands Alliance, a local environmental group that is monitoring water quality around the mine, has recently raised concerns about increased mine-related contaminants in some streams, springs and groundwater wells since mining at Buckhorn began. They include chloride, nitrate, ammonia, sulfate and total dissolved solids.
Christy said exploration in that area before construction of the Buckhorn Mine was extensive. “Existing drill holes probably number over 1,000, and there may be as many as 1,500,” he said.
“Echo Bay wants to rapidly identify if there is additional gold resources near the existing Buckhorn Mine to continue uninterrupted operation of the Kettle River Mill and wants to identify possible additional gold resources within the wider project boundaries,” a DNR news release states.
Drilling could occur 24 hours a day, and take 11 days per drill hole. As many as 20 drill rigs could be used at once, and as many as six water trucks to haul water to the sites.
Property that would be explored includes more than 6,900 acres of Forest Service, 1,600 acres of state Department of Natural Resources land, almost 1,200 acres of U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land, and just under 300 acres of private land. A maximum of 507 acres would actually be disturbed, according to a Forest Service news release.

Lovitt Resources acquires Matthews lease at Wenatchee
2009-11-16 15:29 ET - News Release
Mr. Lorne Brown reports
LOVITT RESOURCES INC. ACQUIRES KEY MINERAL LEASE ON WENATCHEE GOLD BELT
Lovitt Resources Inc. has leased a 155-acre property on the Wenatchee gold belt known as the Matthews lease. The lease will be in effect for 15 years and LRC has the option to purchase the property any time in the first 7.5 years for $5-million (U.S.). Lease terms call for the immediate issuance of 60,000 shares of LRC, plus a payment of $15,000 (U.S.) Jan. 5, 2010. An advance minimum royalty payment of $20,000 (U.S.) is due Nov. 1, 2011, followed by a similar payment of $30,000 (U.S.) Nov. 1, 2012, and the same amount every year thereafter for the life of the lease. This lease is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, where the company trades with stock symbol LRC.V.
The Wenatchee gold belt (WGB) lies northwest-southeast for a length of 7.5 miles, open in both directions, with high-grade gold intercepts at both ends. The Cannon mine is at the north end of the belt on the city limits of Wenatchee, Wash., and the Lovitt mine owned by LRC adjoins the Cannon mine to the south. The Cannon mine produced 1.2 million ounces of gold from 1985 to 1994, and the Lovitt mine produced 420,000 ounces of gold from 1950 to 1967. Silver over the known extent of the WGB runs about 1.5 times the gold weight. LRC is currently conducting exploration to evaluate production options on the Lovitt gold mine patented claims.
The Matthews lease, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the Lovitt gold mine, was first explored by Asamera Minerals (US) Ltd. in 1987 and 1988, when 34 diamond drill holes were completed. Consolidated Ramrod drilled 12 additional diamond drill holes in 1992 and 1993. Even though most drill holes were vertical, it is remarkable that over 75 per cent contained significant gold intersections.
The geology of the Matthews property is similar to that known of the rest of the WGB. The area explored on the Matthews lease to date is 1,500 feet by 750 feet, and contains abundant, high-grade, sediment-hosted, gold mineralization with lesser rhyodacite, intrusive-hosted, high-grade gold. Targets consist primarily of high-grade epithermal veins with adjacent, high-grade, sediment-hosted mantos and high-grade breccias pipes. Some step-out drill locations are 500 feet apart.
Both the Lovitt gold mine and Matthews lease rely upon historic data, which cannot be relied upon for mineral resource estimation without further diamond drilling. Management of LRC believes that the patented claims of the company hold the solution to future development of the Wenatchee gold belt, since all parts of the belt could be accessed by the construction of an exploration/production drift from the Lovitt mine workings, possibly the least intrusive and easiest permitting approach to access the minable gold and silver in the area. The WGB has local access to cheap power, skilled workmen, excellent roads and a major east-west national rail line with infrastructure within two miles.
LRC previously announced a drill program for the Lovitt mine and will now factor in a drilling program for the Matthews lease to be conducted concurrently. Budget and financing options for an expanded exploration program by LRC are currently under study. This release was approved by LRC director James M. Proudfoot, PEng, a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Leases secured for Wenatchee project
1998-01-21 08:46 ET - News Release
Mr Richard Walters reports
Yamana has secured leases on about 825 acres of private mineral rights for its Wenatchee precious-metals project, near the city of Wenatchee, in central Washington State. This includes more than two miles of the Wenatchee Gold Belt, an established, mineralized, fault-controlled zone from which the Cannon and Lovitt mines historically produced 1.7 million ounces of gold. Previous exploration drilling on Yamana's mining leases has intercepted up to 30 feet of 1.36 ounces of gold per ton, with numerous other ore-grade intercepts in several areas.
The three parcel fee land package covers the Compton, Wenatchee Heights and Matthews properties. It also includes an extensive (more than US$10 million) exploration database with results from 125 diamond drill core holes for more than 200,000 feet completed by previous explorers. One of these, Quest Resources, announced in a press release in February 1996 that it had outlined a mineralized zone on the Matthews property, about 1,800 feet below the surface, at least 600 feet wide and 2,500 feet long. The company also reported a 200 foot intersection, from 1,860 to 2,060 feet, that carried eight separate gold intervals, including 50 feet of 0.26 opt Au and 5 feet of 1.15 opt Au. Several other drill intercepts at Matthews have outlined the potential for a sizeable gold ore body.
About half of all the drilling was done on Matthews which shows underground mining potential for more than one million ounces of high-grade gold reserves. The ultimate target for the Wentachee project is several million ounces at grades averaging about 0.25 opt Au.
The company is looking for a string of deep lying, million-plus ounce, epithermal gold-silver deposits in a well-known and proven precious metals producing district.
The mineralization occurs in sandstones as a hydrothermal system, controlled by the Eagle Creek Fault, forming tube or worm-like bodies with a central core of silicification which pinches and swells both horizontally and vertically along the trend of the Wenatchee Gold Belt. It has been traced for seven miles, including about 2.1 miles under Yamana's properties. The focus is on a relatively continuous zone of mineralization located between depths of 1,000 and 2,000 feet. This could initially be investigated from surface with deep trunk holes from which multi-directional drilling could be conducted using navigational dimensional drill heads, a technique which has been successfully used here in the past. Follow-up exploration and development would likely include lateral drilling from tunnels, either spiral ramps or long declines.
The key attraction is that the project area has a history of profitable underground gold production, and the company has a complex, but well-documented exploration record indicating clear potential for much, much more.
Annual holding and acquisition costs are low. Being private lands, they are without many of the vexing problems of permitting and uncertain royalties associated with public lands in the US. The Wenatchee land parcels are subject to between 3 and 4% net smelter royalties.
Yamana is looking for a joint venture industry partner to invest in the project, likely a major company with experience working in Nevada's Carlin Trend, where much of the exploration and mine development have recently begun to focus on deposits several thousand feet deep.
WARNING: The company relies on litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements.
