Additions to the Update on the Abcourt-Barvue Feasibility Study
Rouyn-Noranda, May 2, 2019 - Following a verification by the Autorite des Marches du Quebec, we learned that we had to modify item 25 of the technical report by adding a discussion on the substantial risks and uncertainty which are reasonably susceptible to affect the reliability of the mineral resources or mineral reserves and the expected economical results or on the trust that we may have on them. In addition, the qualified persons have to describe the repercussions reasonably foreseeable from theses risks and uncertainty on the economical viability of the project Besides, the qualified persons have to file their consent with the filing of the technical report on Sedar.
These modifications are now incorporated in the technical report filed today. The economic analysis has not been modified and the project remains very interesting.
