MISSOULA, Mont., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grant Hartford Corporation ("the Company") a publicly-reporting gold mining company with claims located in the historical Garnet Gold Mining District, today issued a formal corporate update in the form of a letter authored by the Company's executive leadership team and posted to the Company's web site at www.granthartford.com.
In the letter, management endeavors to provide insight and perspective on the opportunities and challenges that have confronted the Company since its inception in 2007, noting:
"Over the course of the past five plus years, Grant Hartford has remained singularly focused on one underpinning goal: to create sustainable value and wealth for our shareholders through optimization of mining claims staked in multiple high-grade gold mining districts throughout Montana. In an unrelenting effort to achieve this goal we have, to date, succeeded in raising nearly $18 million to fund acquisitions and to advance development of our claims.
"More specifically, Grant Hartford now controls over 4,000 acres within the prolific gold-producing Garnet Gold Mining District. Through extensive drilling conducted in 2008, 2009 and 2010, we have estimated a 2.3 million ounce gold resource in the Garnet Gold Mining District and the area of our Nancy Hanks and Willie Mines. In 2011, we completed the mine and mill design for the Nancy Hanks project site. We constructed and/or installed 80% of all necessary surface support facilities and equipment, including a mine shop, power station, miners tag-in, security and safety building and an 80-ton per hour crushing plant. In the spring of 2012, we developed a low-cost mine plan (estimated at $332 per ounce) to extract and process our first 56,524 ton gold ore block at the Nancy Hanks Mine, grading 0.551 ounces per ton and representing proven and probable gold reserves of 31,169 ounces. At today's gold prices, the value of this initial target is approximately $52 million.
"Having positioned the Nancy Hanks Mine to open in record time, our management team has since turned its attention to formalizing the Company's capital formation strategies to finance the completion of the Mine and move into full gold production within 18 months."
