Richmont Mines Announces the Immediate Retirement of CAN$10 Million Debenture

24.09.2012  |  Marketwired

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Richmont Mines Inc. (TSX: RIC)(NYSE Amex: RIC)(NYSE MKT: RIC), ("Richmont" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the early retirement, without penalty, of the CAN$10 million debenture held by Mr. Bob Buchan and two members of his immediate family. The retirement is effective immediately.


Mr. Paul Carmel, President and CEO of Richmont Mines commented: "I am very pleased to say that with the immediate retirement of this debenture, Richmont will have practically no long-term debt. This fact, along with the Corporation's CAN$36 million of cash and tight capital structure of only 33.6 million shares outstanding, provide Richmont with a very solid foundation upon which to grow to its targeted goal of becoming an intermediate gold producer."


As a result of the retirement of the debenture, Mr. Buchan will be leaving Richmont's Board of Directors, effective immediately. In addition, Mr. Sidney Horn will be stepping down as a member of the Corporation's Board, but will remain in his role as Corporate Secretary. These changes reflect Richmont's plan to streamline and reduce the size of its Board of Directors.


Mr. Carmel continued: "I would like to thank Mr. Buchan and Mr. Horn for their contributions to Richmont. The Corporation's management team is focused on delivering on our growth strategy and continuing to lay the foundation for increased shareholder value in the future while maintaining our strong financial position and conservative share count."
