Following successful gold extraction, NBRI has begun mobilizing additional ore shipments from the Fran Gold Project. The material will be transported in metric tonne super sacks via boxcars to Modesto and then to Bishop, with transportation costs reduced to $260 per standard ton. Previous assays of surface material showed 1.2-2.3 ounces per ton.

North Bay Resources (OTC: NBRI) has announced high-grade copper assay results from its Murex Copper Project in British Columbia. Summer 2024 exploration revealed copper samples up to 9.46% in the main copper-bearing area. The sampling was conducted near the D + E zones and drill hole 74-2, with a continuous strike traceable over half a mile. The D Zone, the most significant of five copper zones (A-E), was previously explored by Noranda (now Glencore). Historic drilling has shown significant intersections, including 152 ft @ 0.53% copper and zones with up to 3.3% copper.

North Bay Resources Inc. (OTC: NBRI) has received MSHA approval to begin full-scale production at its Mt. Vernon Gold Mine in Sierra County, California. The company plans to extract 500 tons from a high-grade zone showing gold grades over 1 ounce and up to 5 ounces per ton. Recent assays confirm these high-grade gold values, along with silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium content.
