Chieftain Metals has initiated an important step in its 2011 operations plan by transporting heavy machinery and equipment via barge to the Tulsequah Chief mine site in north-western British Columbia.
Included in the barging shipments are major components of Chieftain’s Interim Water Treatment Plant (IWTP) which is an important step in Chieftain’s commitment to the long-term development of the project.
The barging mobilization is expected to continue through mid-June. Elements of the construction plan will be commencing in June once sufficient equipment and materials are on site.
