A consultant for First Mining Finance said there's good potential to build an open-pit gold and silver mine under a lake in northwestern Ontario.
The Vancouver mine developer released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for its Springpole Project that shows a 12-year mine life for its deposit located 110 kilometres northeast of Red Lake.
The report's authors, SRK Consulting, recommend moving to a pre-feasibility study. The Springpole project is located in a remote area and covers 32,448 hectares. It's regarding by First Mining as "one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold projects."

The soft soil that lines the ancient lake bed that Mexico City is built on amplified the shaking from the recent earthquake and increased its destructive force, seismologists say, as they try to better understand the quake that has killed more than 200 people.
Scientists are looking at other quirks of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake, including the absence of aftershocks and if it is somehow related to a distant, even stronger, Mexican temblor that struck a dozen days earlier.
