Radisson Announces Memorandum of Understanding with IAMGOLD on Milling Assessment for O’Brien Gold Project
09 September 2024 - 8:30PM
Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RDS, OTCQB:
RMRDF) (“
Radisson” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“
MOU”)
with IAMGOLD Corporation (“
IAMGOLD”) to assess the
design criteria for processing mined material from Radisson’s
O’Brien Gold Project (“
O’Brien” or the
“
Project”) at the nearby Doyon gold mill, part of
IAMGOLD’s Doyon-Westwood mine complex. The Doyon mill is located 21
kilometres west of O’Brien within Quebec’s Abitibi region and
directly accessible along Trans-Canada Highway 117.
If off-site processing at Doyon is deemed viable
by both parties, Radisson intends to complete a Preliminary
Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for O’Brien, which
will further consider mine design, mining methodology, mining rate
and gold production profile, facilities requirements, development
schedule and overall Project economics.
Matt Manson, President & CEO
commented: “Hub-and-spoke mining and milling arrangements
have long been a feature of gold mining in the Abitibi. Today we
are announcing the first step in assessing the viability of such an
arrangement for the O’Brien Gold Project. The MOU with IAMGOLD will
facilitate the technical work required to assess the compatibility
of O’Brien’s gold ore with the Doyon mill. Doyon is directly
accessible to O’Brien via a short haul on paved highway, and a
future O’Brien mine with offsite processing and tailings disposal
would be a potentially low-cost, low-impact and highly profitable
mining operation. The MOU with IAMGOLD contains no commercial terms
regarding how ore supply from O’Brien to Doyon would be arranged;
however, further discussions between the two parties, and a
companion O’Brien PEA, are contemplated upon the successful
completion of this preliminary technical work.”
Terms of the MOUThe MOU
facilitates the exchange of technical data between Radisson and
IAMGOLD Corporation (collectively the “Parties”)
regarding metallurgy, flow-sheet configuration, potential mill
modifications, and future processing and tailings disposal
capacity. Each Party will be responsible for its own costs
associated with the work. To conduct the assessment, Radisson has
retained Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC and a program of
metallurgical work has already commenced at the Lakefield, Ontario
facilities of SGS Canada Inc. The MOU is non-binding and
non-exclusive and contains no specific terms around potential
commercial arrangements between the Parties. There is no certainty
that any arrangement between the Parties will result from their
dealings pursuant to the MOU.
