Mining Update from Oroya to You and Me District
Mining reports from the Oroya and You and Me areas describe early clean-up plans at Rex and Good Return mines with 40 to 50 tons processed. The You and Me and Boogardie prospects show strong shaft progress to water level, 140 ft, and a 40 st per ton at the 90 ft level. Enthusiasm grows as reefs are found at water level, wider and richer than upper levels, with German buyers entering Meekatharra area prospects and leases pegged at 12 Mile and Marmont Burgh.
