Richmont Mines Inc. (TSX:RIC,NYSEMKT:RIC) released an updated inferred mineral resource estimate: 2.3 million tonnes grading 10.53 g/t for 771,000 ounces of gold for the Island Gold Deep Project in Ontario.
As quoted in the press release:
It has also come to management’s attention that a portion of the Island Gold Deep Project’s current estimated inferred resource base lies within four patented claims for which Richmont owns 69% with the remaining 31% being held by a third party (please see Claim Ownership Information for full details). The Corporation has engaged in discussions with the third party with the objective of acquiring the 31% interest in the four claims that it does not currently own, and is working towards a resolution. In the meantime, work will continue on the Island Gold Deep Project and proceed according to previously established plans and budgets.
Highlights of the new resource:
