ULTRA-FINE PROJECTS
Warren rediscovered the historical mines that played a long and generous production up to recent times when they were abandoned or terminated due to low gold price or once considered too low a grade for mid to late 20th century miners. Today these mines will reopen where they left off in some cases continuing on the same grade before their cessation.
