Dejour Mines acquired a 6% interest in 1985 from International Gold  and Minerals. A transition from 50% underground to 100% underground mining was completed in 1990. Cathewdral Gold Corporation had a 47% interest in the property in 1991.  Sterling was operated as an open-pit and underground mine from 1980 to 1997.  With the rebound in gold prices in the 2000s, interest in the property was renewed. In 2002,  Imperial Metals Corp. reported that all six holes drilled in a recently completed exploration program on the 144 Zone at Sterling returned significant gold intercepts. The 144 Zone was discovered in 2001 by two holes that intersected 110 feet of 0.15 opt Au and 45 feet of 0.57 opt Au respectively. The drill holes were vertical and were drilled with a combination of rotary drilling to just above the top of the target zone and diamond drilling through the zone. Using this technique, all drill holes reached the target depths and had satisfactory core recoveries.\nIn 2002 a surface rotary and diamond drill program further tested the target area. This work was followed by a geophysical survey using Natural Source Audio-Frequency Tellurics to detect low and high-angle discontinuities as well as alteration mineralogy associated with brecciation and gold mineralization in the 144 Zone. Results were used to focus exploration efforts aimed at expanding the 144 Zone and discovering additional zones of the same type. In 2003, 30 holes totaling 9,000 feet (2,743 metres) were completed. All holes which penetrated the zone intersected elevated gold values enlarging the 144 Zone to 500 feet by 750 feet (152 metres by 228 metres).\nAlso in 2003, an additional 29 claims were acquired under lease to secure the potential northerly extension of the 144 Zone gold bearing structure. In 2004, planning and permitting of an underground exploration program was begun. This program will include a 3,840 foot (1,170 metre) ramp down to the 144 Zone followed by 20,000 (6,098 metres) of definition and exploration drilling. Planning was underway for an  additional 12 to 16 combination rotary\/diamond drill holes. Permitting was underway in 2003 for reopening of mining operations.","inserted_by":"Surveys and Analysis Project","insert_date":"01-SEP-07","updated_by":"Schruben, Paul","update_date":"02-JUL-09"},{"line":"1","ctg":"Economic Factors","cmt_txt":"Sterling was operated as an open-pit and underground mine from 1980 to 1997, producing a total of 194,996 oz of gold from 941,341 tons of ore with an average grade of 0.217 opt Au.\n\nThe mine produced 7,499 oz of gold in 1989 at a cash production cost of $232\/oz.
