Last week we visited RNC Minerals Corp.’s (TSX:RNX) Beta Hunt mine in Western Australia. Our visit taught us a lot about this unique mine. A key takeaway for us was that the significant infrastructure in place, along with a substantial amount of drilling was designed around the flat lying nickel deposit, not the gold deposit. While this infrastructure and drilling provides some benefit (and reduces development costs) for the steeply dipping gold deposit, it is not ideal. The company is taking the right steps to develop new gold levels in an effort to both access the gold orebody, but also provide drill bays to better define the orebody. While Beta Hunt has a long history as a nickel mine, the gold mine is significantly younger with limited exploitation over the last ~20 years, because of split ownership of the gold and nickel rights. While this presents some challenges, it is also an opportunity as there appears to be significant exploration upside and room for potential expansion at the mine. Our visit was highlighted by the mines potential, and that RNC is taking the right steps to first stabilize operations before tapping into the upside. In the near-term investors are likely to remain focused on quarterly financial and operating results as the mine ramps up. read more
