METANOR PRODUCED 9,860 OUNCES DURING QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31ST 2015
Metanor Resources Inc. produced 9,860 ounces of gold during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. A total of 60,365 tonnes of ore at a feed grade of 5.29 grams per tonne was processed during the quarter with a 96-per-cent recovery rate. The extraction of lower-feed-grade materials, which began in the fall, was completed in this last quarter. The average feed grade in March alone was six grams per tonne compared with 4.57 grams per tonne in February.
For the coming quarter ending June 30, management expects higher feed grades as production will come from stopes with grades higher than those encountered in the last six months. Development toward the west continued in the last quarter on levels 6 and 8. The exploration program also continued to the west with good results on level 13 between Hewfran and Bachelor. The upcoming drill program will aim to connect the sector on level 13 with the known upper sector on levels 6 and 8.
Metanor also announces that Investissement Quebec has agreed to extend the repayment period on the outstanding loan balance of $809,524 by five months. Consequently, Metanor will be making five consecutive equal monthly payments ($161,904 plus interest) starting this April and ending August, 2015.
