Brossard (Quebec) – TheNewswire - February 10 th , 2021 - Nippon Dragon Resources Inc. (“Nippon” or “NDR”) (TSXV:NIP) (OTC:RCCMF) is pleased to report that in 2021 the company has begun transforming its flagship gold property Rocmec 1 into a dynamic mine through investments in exploration, development, infrastructure and equipment.
Below are some highlights of recent accomplishments:
-
-- In January 2021 Nippon produced 1,000 tonnes of mineralised material. With the implementation of strict grade control procedures, the samples returned average grades of 6.5g/t. Plans have been completed to ramp up production to 3,000 tonnes per month within the next 6 months.
-
-- Through the use of a completely mechanized thermal fragmentation extraction process, highly concentrated mineralized material is produced with minimum dilution. Minimum mining waste is produced and all waste material is stored underground, with zero environmental impact. Mine water is also recycled, drastically reducing our environmental footprint.
In order to support increased production and to implement the company’s aggressive strategic development programme, the company is in market to raise a minimum of $3.0 million. Terms and conditions of the financing will be made public in a timely manner.
‘I am very happy to see that our efforts to date are starting to bear fruit. We are working diligently to secure the required funding that will enable the company to reach and even surpass expectations within the next 6 months. I am proud of our entire team and of their dedication to the success of the project’, states Jean-Yves Therien, Nippon’s interim President and CEO.
Cautionary statement: The decision to mine mineralized material is not based on a feasibility study, Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
