    Richmont Mines Executive Chairman, Greg Chamandy, stated:

    My confidence in the new Richmont management team led by Renaud Adams has grown substantially as he and the team continue to deliver solid quarter over quarter results and as they position our flagship Island Gold mine for the next phase of its growth strategy. I also believe that René Marion has the industry background and board experience to assume the role of non-executive Chairman. So at this pivotal phase in Richmont’s transformational growth strategy, I felt that this was the optimal time to make these changes. I am confident that Richmont is in great hands and I look forward to continued success for the Corporation, its employees, and its shareholders. I look forward to continuing to support the Corporation in my role as a Director, and as the Corporation’s largest shareholder.
