Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. of Vancouver said last week its board approved preliminary engineering work on open-pit mining at Burns Basin in its Jerritt Canyon property north of Elko.
The company said it expects to start mining at the property in the fourth quarter of 2012, and it projects production of 2,000 tons of ore a day.
Jerritt Canyon is about 50 miles north of Elko.
