About Minnova Corp.
Minnova is focused on the restart of its PL gold mine, which included completion of a positive feasibility study in 2018. The study concluded the restart of the PL mine, at an average annual production rate of 46,493 ounces over a minimum five-year mine life, was economically robust. Importantly the global resource remains open to expansion, as does the reserve. The PL gold mine benefits from a short preproduction timeline forecast at 15 months, a valid underground mining permit (Environment Act 1207E), an existing 1,000-tonne-per-day processing plant and over 7,000 metres of developed underground ramp to a depth of minus 135 metres. The project is fully road accessible and close to existing mining infrastructure in the prolific Flin Flon greenstone belt of central Manitoba.
