Q1 2017 Operating and financial results

For this Q1, a higher sales price, combined with a reduction in the operating costs, provided a gross profit of 1.2 million dollars. These funds were mainly used in exploration on the Bachelor, Moroy, and Barry properties.

Outlook for the coming quarters

Metanor maintains its objective to produce between 28,000 and 33,000 ounces of gold during the next year coming entirely from the Bachelor mine. For the current quarter, the feed grade to the mill went up. This increase comes from ore extraction below level 14 in the Main vein, and from Hewfran between levels 6 and 8. Accordingly, the company plans to sell between 8,000 and 9,500 ounces for the quarter ended December 31^st 2016.

The company plans to publish a resource and reserve update for the Bachelor mine before December 31^st 2016. The underground drilling program will continue during the coming months to discover additional ounces of gold.

For the Barry property, Metanor will continue the drilling within the area of the Barry open pit to increase its mineral resources, and to convert inferred resources into the indicated category.

Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. All statements in this discussion, other than those of historical fact, that address future exploration drilling, exploration activities and projected exploration, including costs and other estimates upon which such projections are based, and events or developments that the company expects, are considered forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
