British Columbia has been cursed with rain this season but, it did not stop the Devlins Bench Mining crew from going ahead with new developments at the Grouse Creek mine site. With a slightly smaller crew than last year but, highly efficient, the crew has been producing and shipping GOLD!!! 
Excavators, rock trucks, trummel, etc are all needed for the daily operations.

As they dig for the paydirt, the mine crew is discovering old wooden mine shafts. The 1960's "square timbers" workings have ended with the advance upstream. The crew is now in the 1860's workings and coarse gold is showing up in the sluices. Approximately 80% of the deposit remains intact.
Devlins Bench Mining is still following its very high environmental standards. Moose and Grizzly bear have been seen roaming around the mine.
With the recent gold price, the crew will be operating and producing gold until the deep snow and cold temperatures make it impossible to operate heavy equipment and freeze the water needed at the trommel.
