ROUYN-NORANDA, Québec, April 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.

The Kewagama Gold Mine is owned by Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RDS) and forms the eastern portion of their O’Brien Gold Project covering an area of 111.7 ha (276 acres).
In a March 20, 2018 press release, Radisson reported a NI 43-101 Resource Estimate on the combined 36E Gold Zone and Kewagama property as well as a portion of the recently discovered Vintage Gold Zone. At a cut-off of 3.5 g/t Au, the following resources were reported.
Indicated Resource | ||
Tonnes | Grade (g/t Au) | Contained oz Au |
1,125, 447 | 6.45 | 233,491 |
Inferred Resource | ||
1,157,021 | 5.22 | 194,084 |
Note: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and as such have not demonstrated economic viability.
The resource estimate was produced by InnovExplo Inc. under the direction of Independent QP Christine Beausoleil, P.Geo with an effective date of March 20, 2018. Globex has not reviewed the NI 43-101 report as it has not yet been posted on SEDAR and thus should not be relied upon.
Preliminary metallurgical testing in 2014 demonstrated combined recoveries in the 93-94% range by flotation or cyanidation with gravity concentration.
