Historic mine could come back to life

Anglo Swiss Resources, a Vancouver-based junior miner, is moving ahead with plans to reactive the Kenville mine in southeastern British Columbia as it starts gold and gemstone exploration of the property.

The company plans a detailed geological evaluation to determine current and prospective ore reserves at Kenville, which produced 2 million grams of gold from 1890 to 1954, making it the 26th largest producer in British Columbia history.

Anglo Swiss also owns 16,800 acres in the Slocan Valley that hosts sapphire, iolite and gemstone quality garnet.
