This is the Klondike Deposit which is accessed from the Klondike Portal and is one of 3 current underground mines of the Mercedes Gold Project which is 100% owned by Yamana Gold.

The Klondike deposit is accessed by a portal and single ramp driven from surface. The portal is a 5.0 m wide by 5.0 m high and decline is nominally 12% grade and accesses levels every 20 vertical metres. Each level is accessed by a 4.0 m wide by 4.0 m high cross-cut driven at -2% grade from the ramp for approximately 10 m to a sump and then driven at +2% grade towards the ore sill access drifts. A 5.0 m by 6.25 m truck loading bay is developed at each level-ramp intersection, opposite to the main level cross-cut. The level access drift infrastructure also includes paste line access, electrical sub-stations, escapeway accesses, and sumps.
