Elko Project - British Columbia, Canada
The Elko Project is a strategic investment owned by PAH's 100% Canadian entity. The Project contains a 303.1 million tonnes, JORC Code (2012), resource and is located in the East Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada. The Elko Leases with a combined area of 3,571 Hectares.
The project is at a pre-concept level stage, with independent engineering studies indicating a low-capital cost entry into mining operations. Elko would leverage existing infrastructure in close proximity to the project as the start of a reliable logistics network into a South East Asian customer base that has a growing demand for this limited resource.
Elko is positioned within 20km to rail infrastructure, and is situated at the southern end of the East Kootenay Basin. This unique position makes it the closest project in the East Kootenay Basin to the ports of Vancouver with approximately a $2/t rail cost advantage over projects located at the northern end of the East Kootenay Basin
