Integra Gold Corp. has awarded Promec Mining Inc. with the contract to construct the Triangle Deposit exploration ramp on the Lamaque-South Gold Project in Val-d’Or, Québec. Promec has mobilized all required equipment on site and hired more than 90 percent of its team. The first rock blast for the exploration ramp took place earlier this week.

Val-d’Or, Québec based Promec Mining was selected following a detailed bid evaluation process conducted by the company. Promec specializes in contract underground mining, development, construction and operations. Promec has worked on numerous projects throughout Eastern Canada, including contracts with Agnico-Eagle, Hecla, Glencore, and others.

“By awarding this contract to Promec Mining, an experienced Val-d’Or based mining contractor with a long history of successful contract mining in the Abitibi, our Lamaque project enters an exciting and important new phase of its evolution. The transition to underground exploration at Triangle is an important milestone for Integra’s technical team and the company’s shareholders. We have been looking forward to the first rock blast of the ramp construction as it represents the culmination of five years of focused exploration at Triangle. Our decision to construct this exploration ramp also reflects the company’s on-going commitment to the community of Val-d’Or through job creation and the economic stimulus generated by the project,” said Langis St-Pierre, chief operating officer of Integra.

“Promec Mining is extremely proud to be part of the initiation of this new project in the Val-d’Or area. We are excited to work with a dynamic company like Integra Gold, whose hard work and dedication have made this project possible. In collaboration with the Integra team we will make this project a success and one that will continue the proud mining tradition of Val-d’Or and the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region,” said Jos Deschenes, general director of Promec Mining.

The objective of the underground exploration program is to conduct close-spaced drilling from within the upper portions of the Triangle deposit (C1 and C2 zones) as well as exploration drilling in order to continue growing the resource base. The proposed underground exploration program will also include a bulk sample of more than 20,000 tonnes of gold mineralized rock required for the purposes of reconciling gold content versus resource estimates as well as to allow for detailed metallurgical test work to be conducted. The ultimate size, location and timing of the bulk sample will be determined using information gathered from the results of the ongoing surface exploration drilling and from underground drilling as results become available.
