Company president Eugene Chiaramonte said the rehabilitated operation is in its final stages before moving into full production mode and the start-up timeframe is valid barring any unforeseen obstacles.
“I have spent many hours underground to ensure that we are mining as soon as possible,” he said.
“Despite some minor encounters related to equipment delays, our long-awaited production phase is imminent.”
He also added that the company is eager to begin fulfilling its $US8 million contract with Logan & Kanawha.
Pond Creek is under the operational portfolio of Quest subsidiary Gwenco.
