TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and NYSE-listed Richmont Mines on Friday announced it had successfully completed the three-month preproduction phase at the Monique gold project, in Quebec, and that it had declared commercial production on Tuesday.
The Monique openpit operation is located 25 km east of Val-d'Or, and about 50 km from the corporation's Camflo mill in Malartic.
At July 1, Monique had openpit proven and probable reserves of 485 737 t, grading 2.29 g/t of gold for 35 698 oz.
