Heath Steele Project
Trevali holds an option to acquire 100% of the formerly producing zinc-lead-silver-copper-gold mine located adjacent to the Company's Stratmat Deposit and approximately 35 km south-southeast of the Caribou Mine. Mining operations at Heath Steele were carried out by a variety of companies (including Noranda) discontinuously between 1957 and 1999. Over Heath Steele’s long mine life, zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold were extracted from several zones on the property.
