Item 8.01. Other
On January 19, 2015, Revett Mining Company Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it will place the Troy Mine on care and maintenance due to low metals prices. Development work to the I Beds will cease immediately and milling operations will continue through to the end of January 2015. An orderly shutdown will take place during the month of February with the expectation that development and operations may resume in a more favorable metals price environment.
Since resuming milling operations in mid-November 2014, the Company has produced 27,053 ounces of silver and 159,121 pounds of copper to date from limited mining operations in the C Beds. An additional estimated 40,000 tons of ore will be processed through the mill as part of the orderly shutdown. The I Bed development drift has been extended beyond the North C Bed production area with 5,400 feet of development drifting remaining to reach I Bed mineralization.
