TORONTO, October 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Delineation Drilling Continues to Demonstrate Significant
Potential to Convert High Grade Inferred Resources within the 2016
PEA Area
Richmont Mines Inc. (TSX: RIC) (NYSE MKT: RIC) ("Richmont"
or the "Corporation"), is pleased to provide an update on
delineation drilling within the expanded 2016 Preliminary Economic
Assessment ("PEA") area as well as initial results from the
strategic Phase 2 exploration drilling program at the cornerstone
Island Gold Mine. (All results are reported with estimated true
width with high grade assays capped at 95 g/t gold).
"We are very pleased with the results from our near-mine
exploration and delineation drilling programs as the results
clearly demonstrate the significant potential to grow our near-mine
reserve inventory and identify new resource blocks located within
the 2016 PEA area. These ounces could extend mine life above the
1,000 metre level and be incorporated into the near-term mine plan
utilizing current infrastructure," stated Renaud Adams, CEO. He continued, "We are also
reporting initial results from our recently launched 18 to 24 month
Phase 2 exploration program that continues to show the potential to
increase resources laterally along strike, primarily to the east,
and at depth below the 1,000 metre level."
2016 PEA DELINEATION DRILLING PROGRAM (Figure 1
)
Delineation drilling is focused in three key areas: 1) the
western portion of the 2016 PEA area between the 460 and 860 metre
levels; 2) the potential fourth mining horizon between the 860 and
1,000 metre levels; and 3) the eastern portion of the 2016 PEA
area, within Extensions 1 and 2, east of the first dyke.
Approximately 41,947 metres of delineation drilling have been
completed to date. Drill results continue to provide increased
confidence that a significant portion of the inferred resources
located in the 2016 PEA area could potentially be converted to
measured and indicated resources by year end, which could be
incorporated into the short-term mine plan and support a potential
near-term growth opportunity. Currently, two drill rigs continue to
operate from the 740 exploration drift and one from the 620
exploration drift to complete the 50,000 metre delineation drilling
program planned for 2016.
Recent drilling highlights from the western portion of the 2016
PEA area, between the 460 and 860 metre levels, include (Table 1
and Table 2):
- Hole 450-467-54: 28.26 g/t gold over 2.56 metres
- Hole 450-467-61A: 24.08 g/t gold over 3.70 metres

PHASE 2 EXPLORATION PROGRAM (Figure 2 )
The 18 to 24 month, 142,000 metre Phase 2 exploration drilling
program that was launched in July continues to focus on four key
priorities: 1) to expand near-mine resources within the 2016 PEA
limits of the main deposit; 2) continuing to test the lateral
continuity of the known deposit to the east to potentially add new
resource blocks with the overall objective of extending mine life
above the 1,000 metre level; 3) to identify the next million-plus
ounce, high grade inferred resource in the vertical extension of
the deposit between the 1,000 and 1,500 metre levels; and 4)
continuing to test high priority regional gold targets across the
prospective Island Gold property.
Near-Mine Exploration Drilling Program (Figure 3
)
The main objective of the near-mine exploration drilling program
is to expand near-mine inferred resources within the 2016 PEA area
by infilling gaps between current inferred resource blocks.
Approximately 10,232 metres of a planned 22,000 metres for 2016
have been completed with encouraging results received to date,
which increases our confidence for resource expansion within the
2016 PEA area. Currently, one drill rig is operating from
underground with a second drill to be mobilized later in
October.
Recent drilling highlights from the western portion, between the
740 and 860 metre levels, include (Table 2):
- Hole 740-477-06: 13.88 g/t gold over 7.52 metres
- Hole 740-477-07: 5.03 g/t gold over 8.11 metres
- Hole 740-477-08: 6.13 g/t gold over 10.65 metres
- Hole 740-483-03: 17.69 g/t gold over 8.33 metres
- Hole 740-483-17: 31.53 g/t gold over 2.56 metres
- Hole 740-486-06: 11.97 g/t gold over 4.49 metres
Recent drilling highlights from the potential fourth mining
horizon, between the 860 and 1,000 metre levels, include (Table

- Hole 620-524-27: 29.15 g/t gold over 4.44 metres
Recent highlights from the Extension 1 and Extension 2 areas,
located in the eastern portion, above the 860 metre level and east
of the first dyke include (Table 4 and Table 5):
- Hole 620-524-24: 9.42 g/t gold over 3.16 metres

- Hole 620-543-53: 8.34 g/t gold over 2.36 metres
Eastern Lateral Exploration and Infill Drilling
Program (Figure 4 )
A key objective of the Phase 2 eastern lateral drilling program
is to add a new resource block where Phase 1 drilling intercepted
33.3 g/t gold over 2.6 metres located approximately 300 metres east
of the main deposit, outside the 2016 PEA area.
Approximately 3,833 metres of a planned 9,000 metres (including
3,000 metres of infill drilling) for the second half of 2016 have
been completed to test the lower portion of this mineralized area.
Drilling in the upper portion as well as the eastern extension of
the mineralized area will be completed over the balance of the
year. Currently, one drill rig is operating from surface to test
the eastern extension and one drill operating from underground will
be mobilized in mid-October.
Recent highlights include (Table 6):
- Hole GD-586-01: 4.02 g/t gold over 3.56 metres
- Hole GD-586-02A: 10.41 g/t gold over 2.06 metres
Deep Exploration Drilling Program
Highlights: (Figure 5 )
The 2016 deep directional exploration drilling program is to
test the eastern and western down plunge corridors between the
1,000 and 1,500 metre levels with the overall objective of
discovering the next million-plus ounces of
high-grade inferred resources. In the western area, new
parallel zones located south of the main mineralized zones were
intercepted and we are currently compiling and interpreting the
geological data. Additional drilling is required to better
understand the structural geology at depth, however these new zones
increase the overall potential of the down plunge extension,
providing new high quality targets for follow up drilling.
Approximately 6,360 metres of a planned 22,000 metres for 2016
have been completed to date. Drilling in the third quarter was
slower than planned as deeper targets were being tested. A seventh
drill was mobilized in late September to help accelerate drilling
over the balance of the year.
Recent highlights from exploration drilling include (Table
7):
- Hole MH2A-4: 5.66 g/t gold over 6.38 metres
- Hole MH3-7: 8.41 g/t gold over 5.60 metres
- Hole MH4-2: 5.14 g/t gold over 3.32 metres (new parallel
Zone)
- Hole MH4-3A: 17.77 g/t gold over 4.81 metres (new parallel
Zone)
- Hole MH5: 7.11 g/t gold over 2.23 metres (G1 Zone)
3.89 g/t gold over 2.54 metres (new parallel Zone)
- Hole MH1-9A: 26.56 g/t gold over 0.82 metres (X Zone)
Deep Infill Drilling Program Highlights: (Figure 5
)
The objective of the deep infill drilling program is to define a
potential inferred resource block that was identified through the
Phase 1 program. The block is located in the eastern down plunge
extension of the C Zone between the 1,000 and 1,500 metre
levels.
Approximately 1,894 metres of a planned 5,000 metres for 2016
have been completed (50 metre drill spacing) to date. Infill
drilling will continue in this area over the balance of the year
utilizing one drill rig from surface. Infill drilling will
transition to underground drilling once access to the 860 metre
drift has been established.
Highlights from the first two holes have confirmed the
mineralization within this targeted area as follows (Table 7):
- Hole MH2A-5A: 14.99 g/t gold over 2.29 metres
- Hole MH2A-6: 6.46 g/t gold over 4.39 metres
Phase 2 Regional Drilling Program
The Phase 2 regional drilling program is designed to continue to
evaluate the potential extension of the mineralization below the
Kremzar mine as well as other previously identified high-priority
gold targets located elsewhere on the highly prospective 77 km2
Island Gold property. The Phase 2 regional drilling program is
expected to begin in late 2016 or early 2017.
