Mining
widths varied from five to twenty five feet and all of the production
came from oxidized quartz veins, with mill-head grades of approximately
41g/t Au. As mining progressed towards the primary (un-oxidized)
ore recoveries dropped significantly and the mine was forced
to close in 1909 after producing approximately 40 000 ounces
of gold. The Peters Mine is currently being explored by John
Tait’s crew at WSR Gold and has shown intercept of 120
meters of 2.92 g/t Au. Mr. Tait (ex- Gold Eagle) has a big following
and it’s always possible that SCM gets some coverage from
the spillover of Peters Mine development.
Under the guidance of SCM and in two short years, The Million
Mountain Property has shown lots of promise, with multiple 100meters+
intercepts averaging 1g/t+ Au, including:
225.9 meters of 1.05g/t Au.
178.4 meters of 2.48 g/t Au
261.8 meters of 1.64g/t A

Although there has not been an official resource estimate yet,
looking at those intercepts you can figure out Million Mountain
Property is quite sizable as it is. Those thick intercepts from
surface mean low strip ratios and a friendly open-pit scenario.
There is one top quality rig doing double shifts on site so
we should expect continued news coming throughout this fall
and winter.
Million Mountain is just one of several projects SCM managed
to secure within its 1,200+ sq kilometers claim area. SCM has
recently discovered a new zone with chip samples show exceptional
grades including 115.38 g/t Au.

A drill rig is being located and will move to site in October.
This just adds an all new dimension to SCM. Technically, the
stock raced to 200 DMA resistance based on the chip sample news.
There is a small window to accumulate between $2 and $2.25.
No two deposits are alike, I see SCM as a LRR ($80 million market
cap) in the making, and I like SCM much more than say Exeter
($100million market cap), which has not shown an economic deposit
yet.
I met with SCM’s CEO Irwin Olian two weeks ago and have
exchanged several emails. Irwin is a no-frill, all substance
guy with an Economics degree from Princeton and a Law degree
from Harvard. Million Mountain will only get bigger, there is
not a lot of guess work with SCM. I see the company as a safe
bet with very good potential and a conservative management.
Again, a safe bet in the junior mining means a good bet.
