Montagne d'Or

BFS HIGHLIGHTS

Project Overview:

The 45% owned Montagne d'Or Gold Deposit hosts an NI-43-101 Proven and Probable Reserve of 2.75 million ounces gold (54.11 million tonnes @ 1.58 g/t gold). The results of the March 2017 Bankable Feasibility Study demonstrate an open pit mining operation with average annual gold production of 237,000 ounces over the first 10 years of mine life at an average grade of 1.73 g/t gold that results in an average AISC of US$749 per ounce. There is considerable expansion potential on strike and at depth and exploration drilling is currently underway.
