National recognition for a Red Lake mining project.
Bob Singh and Chris Taylor have received the Colin Spence Award.
The honour is for their pivotal role in discovering the multi-kilometre LP Fault gold zone at the Dixie property for Great Bear Resources.
Their discovery hole intersected 14 metres grading 12.3 grams per tonne gold and the Great Bear team rapidly advanced the project to one of the most significant gold discoveries in recent times.
It also caught the attention of the likes of Kinross as it will acquire Great Bear for $29.00 per Share, plus a contingent value right.
Singh and Taylor received the award from the Association of Mineral Exploration at the annual AME Roundup Conference.
