(Dick) Bramley-Moore of Cassiar Mining Corporation. Benno Raschkes, Overseas Sales Manager, and Max Gemmell, General Sales Manager, both of TAF Interna- tional Limited, visited the Cassiar mine on October 29-31. Accompanied by R.A. (Dick) Bramley-Moore, Sales Dir- ector - Asia, and Stefan Dyk, Technical Sales Manager, both of Cassiar Mining Corporation, they toured the oper- ation. The purpose of the visit, according to Bramley- Moore, was to familiarize the agents and himself with the complex, including recent developments such as the McDame exploration site and the wet. milling process. TAF International Limited are based in London, England, and act as marketing agents for Cassiar fibre in Europe, the Middle East, and India. During an interview with the Courier, the future of asbestos in the world mar- ket was discussed. Bramley-Moore stated that Cassiar supplies approximately 5% of a total free world market of 2,000,000 tons of fibre. Gemmell added, “With a fixed, if not reducing, number of established users, the market is still basically out of balance, with supply exceeding demand.” He went on to say that greater price stability was to be hoped for in future. Given these economic conditions, effective sales management is critical to an asbestos producer’s profita- FROM SAN ANTONIO GOLD A.A. Burgoyne Vice-President, Exploration In a recent press release, Cassiar Mining Corporation announced the results of the recent underground diamond drilling and mineral resources calculations completed at their San Antonio gold mine, located some 260 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, at Bissett, Manitoba. In early 1985, Cassiar Mining Corporation entered into an Option Agreement with San Antonio Resources Inc. (a company owned by Inco Ltd. and Quest Explorations Ltd.). Inco et al can earn a 50 per cent interest through expenditures of $7.5 million by June of 1988. Exploration expenditures to August 31, 1986 total $2.7 million. In the period from November 1985 to March 1986, 20,088 feet of underground drilling in twenty-two holes on the lower levels of the San Antonio gold mine were completed. Mineral resource calculations have been com- pleted by Inco Ltd. for’ the lower levels of the San Antonio gold mine, between the 26th and 37th levels, utilizing 130 gold mineralization intersections from the current drilling program, as well as all the previous drill, drift, and stope. data. Mineral resource calculations, as defined by Inco for the drilling program below the 26th level of the San Antonio gold mine, indi- cate 1,457,756 tons grading 0.233 oz/ton gold a successful salesman, you must believe in your product. Cassiar’s fibre is easier to sell because it is, without a doubt, the best chrysotile fibre available.” Raschkes noted that Cassiar fibre is predominantly utilized by a number of specialized industries. Visits by the sales agents are made both to monitor customer satis- faction, and to determine where future market potential for new and modified products exists. In line with the latter is the involvement in a support role in marketing of Stefan Dyk. As Technical Sales Manager, his respon- sibility lies in determining the technical feasibility and_/ development of new fibre products. “It’s a matter of tailored requirements,” said Raschkes. Chrysotile is only one of six asbestos types. Though all Canadian mines produce chrysotile, they vary greatly in grade, length and quality. With only limited international standards for determining these properties, it requires a great deal of expertise to discuss with users the advantages of one fibre over another. Gemmell stated, “You have to know other supplier’s products as well as your own. You get to know each customer and his needs, and that can take along time.” With over fifty years’ experience between the two agents, Cassiar would appear to be in good hands. The Mill and Mine Head Frame of San Antonio Gold located 260 kilometres north-east of Winnipeg, at Bissett. Exploration continued this past summer _with promising results as reserves estimates were tripled. equal to 339,316 ounces of contained gold. Cassiar considers the exploration results to be highly promising. Prior to the underground drilling program, Cassiar had defined geological reserves below the 26th level at 489,719 tons grading 0.233 oz/ton gold equal to 114,058 ounces of contained gold. In effect, the recent drilling program has tripled the reserves.
