RESSOURCES APPALACHES

Since it was first established in 1994, Ressources Appalaches has targeted the discovery and development of deposits of base and precious metals located in the Appalachians and on the Quebec North Shore. In order to diversify the risks associated with its strategy, the Company holds some dozen mineral properties in various stages of development. Ressources Appalaches has become, as of 12 October 2011, the sole owner of the Dufferin Mine, located in Nova Scotia. The transaction included the acquisition of the ramp-access Dufferin Mine, the processing plant (mill), mining lease and infrastructure required for production. Ressources Appalaches intends to become a gold producer by restarting mining operations with the existing infrastructure.
