das ist schon heftig was abgeht.
Jetzt werden also überall die Sparbeschlüsse (erwartungsgemäß)
gekippt u. zeitgleich steht Deflation auf dem Schirm.
Das ist kein Zufall, nee wirklich nich.
Wie geht´s denn Euren Eisenwerten ? Ich meine jetzt nicht die im
Blut :-).
Die sehen bei Euren Rotweingenüssen bestimmt bestens aus
Hier was v. Globex , stelle die Meldung v. Partner Richmont ein,
damit kommen die anderen Ergebnisse (weltklasse !) auch zur
GEltung..

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Richmont
Mines Inc. (TSX:RIC)(NYSE Amex:RIC), ("Richmont" or the
"Corporation") is pleased to announce results from more than 10,000
metres of drilling on its Wasamac property (the "Property") and
4,000 metres on the adjacent Globex option.
Greg Chamandy, Executive Chairman of Richmont Mines, commented: "We
are very pleased to report that drilling at Wasamac continues to
yield very promising results, reinforcing our belief that the
Wasamac property has great future potential for Richmont and its
shareholders. We look forward to improving the economics of the
project by means of five key focus areas, and maintain our belief
that Wasamac has the potential to catapult Richmont into the
intermediate producer category. We look forward to updating the
market with new developments throughout 2012, and it is our goal to
issue a revised preliminary economic assessment with improved and
more robust economics as soon as the project is fully
optimized."
Highlights:
-- New 2012 drill results include: 6.40 g/t Au over 52.80 metres,
2.83 g/t
Au over 71.76 metres and 4.61 g/t Au over 34.94 metres in the Main
Zone,
3.80 g/t Au over 7.01 metres, 3.37 g/t Au over 9.45 metres and 5.16
g/t
Au over 11.11 metres in Zone 2, and 5.19 g/t Au over 7.81 metres in
Zone
3 (all cut grades and true widths);
-- 7.09 g/t Au over 5.22 metres, 4.07 g/t Au over 4.44 metres and
1.87 g/t
Au over 9.24 metres in newly discovered Zone 4 which is located on
the
boundary of the Wasamac property and the Globex option;
-- Richmont has identified 5 key focus areas that will be assessed
to
improve the project economics;
-- The 2012 drilling program will include approximately 55,000
metres, and
will now focus primarily on the Main Zone, Zone 3 extension and
the
optioned Globex claims.

The five key focus areas to improve Wasamac project economics
Throughout 2012 Richmont will concentrate on optimizing the Wasamac
project mine design. These objectives include:
1. Increasing the resource base included in the mining plan,
particularly
in the Main Zone by:
a. Completing a technical study with the objective of adding a
portion
of the existing footwall/hanging wall resource located in the
old
mine to the mining plan;
b. Pursuing additional exploration drilling with the goal of
extending
the lateral and vertical extensions of known zones;
2. Including the silver grade in the geological and economic
models;
3. Evaluating the Wasamac resource using a higher cut-off grade to
measure
the impact on the overall grade and on the project's economic
analysis;
4. Evaluating accessing the ore body via ramp only, with a lower
production
rate, beginning the operation with the larger and higher grade
zones to
reduce the pre-production capital costs;
5. Completing a detailed study to improve gold metallurgical
recovery.
Additional details about the Wasamac Property
As of December 31, 2011, the Wasamac property had estimated
Measured and Indicated Resources of 6.7 million tonnes grading 2.56
g/t Au for 556,385 ounces of gold, and Inferred Resources of 25.6
million tonnes grading 2.58 g/t Au for 2,130,532 ounces of
gold.
The 7.58 km2 (757.65 hectare) Wasamac property is located 15 km
west of Richmont's headquarters in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, in the
heart of the Abitibi gold mining district and is less than 10 km
east of the Francoeur Mine. The past-producing Wasamac Mine
produced a total of 1.9 million metric tonnes at an average grade
of 4.16 g/t Au between 1965 and 1971. This production generated
252,923 ounces of gold, mostly from the Main Zone.
Globex Option Claim Details
The 5 claims under the Agreement cover a total area of 2.07 km2
(207 hectares), and are adjacent to the eastern boundary of
Richmont's Wasamac property. The potential for gold from surface to
the -200 metre elevation on the Wasa Shear Zone was tested by
previous owners, and no significant results were obtained. The
objective of Richmont is to verify the potential presence of
mineralized zones similar to those observed on the Wasamac property
at deeper elevations.

operations in Quebec, Ontario and Newfoundland since beginning
production in 1991. The Corporation currently produces gold from
its Island Gold and Beaufor mines, and is currently advancing its
Francoeur Mine to commercial production, which should increase
Richmont's production to an annual rate of approximately 100,000
ounces of gold. With extensive experience in gold exploration,
development and mining, the Corporation is well positioned to
cost-effectively build its Canadian reserve base through a
combination of organic growth, strategic acquisitions and
partnerships. Richmont routinely posts news and other important
