Correction to the Press Release of May 12, 2020
In the Company's press release of May 12, 2020 entitled "Fiore Gold Ltd. Continues to Expand Oxide Gold Mineralization at its Pan Mine, including 74.7 metres of 0.74 g/t Gold and 15.2 metres of 2.60 g/t Gold", the reference to the current mineral reserves at the Company's Pan Mine was incorrect. The corrected reference should read: The most recent Proven and Probable reserve estimate, effective September 30, 2018, totals 275,600 gold ounces at an average grade of 0.51 g/t gold (0.015 oz/ton), with reserve cutoff grades of 0.21 g/t gold for the North and Central pits and 0.14 g/t gold for the South Pit.
Corporate Strategy
Our corporate strategy is to grow Fiore into a 150,000 ounce per year gold producer. To achieve this, we intend to:
- grow gold production at the Pan Mine while also growing the reserve and resource base;
- advance exploration and development of the nearby Gold Rock project; and
- acquire additional production or near-production assets to complement our existing operations
On behalf of Fiore Gold Ltd.
