Monarques Gold Presents the Initial Parameters for the Feasibility Study on its Wasamac Gold Project


MONTREAL, Sept. 25, 2018 /CNW/ - MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION ("Monarques" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) presented the initial parameters today for the feasibility study to be carried out on its Wasamac gold property by BBA. The study, to be completed in December 2018, will include assessment, design, engineering and costing for the mine, the processing plant, the tailings management facility and all the related services and infrastructure required to develop and mine the Wasamac deposit.

Monarques is taking a different approach to the project than Wasamac's previous owner. The Corporation will harness the latest technology and use a top-down rather than a bottom-up mining method in its attempt to put the Wasamac deposit into production at the best possible cost. Furthermore, the Corporation is opting for twin ramps and the use of the Rail-Veyor system underground to haul the mineralized material close to the railway, which will eliminate the hefty capital expenditures associated with building a shaft. The Rail-Veyor system is a promising new technology currently in use at Agnico Eagle's Goldex project in Val-d'Or (see the Goldex Rail-Veyor system).

The study also assumes a production rate of 6,000 tonnes per day. In addition, the land acquired for the mill and tailings facility provides major advantages as it lies alongside the Ontario Northland railway track, on the other side of the Trans-Canada Highway, farther away from the local communities.

"We are working hard to make Wasamac a success, both economically and for the local communities," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. "We want this project to fulfill the economic and environmental criteria and meet the local communities' requirements, and we are confident that with BBA's help, we can achieve that goal. We are also keeping open the option of custom milling the ore at one of the sites identified by BBA's previous study (see map of potential sites)."

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Marc-André Lavergne, Eng., the Corporation's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
