Ghislain Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metanor stated: “We feel that the metrics are optimal for a restart of operations at the Barry Pit. Our surface infrastructure is still operational, and the mining permit is still active. Combining this with the current low fuel prices and a gold value of $1,700 per ounce in Canadian dollars, we see restarting as an attractive option for the Company at this time.”
Metanor is also planning a drill campaign at their Moroy project, located one kilometre southeast of the Bachelor Mine. The company is creating a number of ice bridges to allow drill-rig access and have scheduled drilling to commence before the end of this month.
