Premier remains one of the most active exploration and development companies in the mining space. With a treasury of approximately Cdn$45 million, expected to grow to more than Cdn$100 million by the end of 2016, Premier is ideally positioned to meet guidance and transition from explorer to gold producer.
'We are very excited by our 2016 exploration and development programs' stated Ewan Downie, President & CEO of Premier. 'The milestone event in 2016 will be the first gold production in the Company's history. When combined with our multiple active drill programs within our core project areas, this year will be a transformational one for Premier'.
Premier holds several projects that are subject to exploration and development programs in 2016. In Nevada, the South Arturo Project is being developed for Q3 2016 production and an extensive drill campaign is planned for the McCoy-Cove Property. At Trans-Canada, a Feasibility Study on the Hardrock Project is expected in 2016. Underground drilling, testing several target areas continues from the haulage drift on the Rahill-Bonanza Project (PG 44% and Red Lake Gold Mines 56%) while a 50,000 metre exploration drill program at the 100%-owned Hasaga Property is underway expected to result in an initial mineral resource estimate in H2 2016.
Premier Gold Mines Limited is one of North America's leading exploration and development companies with a pipeline of high-quality gold projects in safe, accessible and proven mining jurisdictions of Canada and the United States.
