27 April 2017

First Quarter 2017 highlights include:

Exploration drilling at Amaruq extends and infills Whale Tail Deposit to the west and infills V Zone – Recent drilling indicates the potential to increase the depth of the western part of the Whale Tail pit, and expand the Whale Tail pit farther to the west. An infill drill program in the near-surface portion of the V Zone has confirmed high gold grades in multiple lenses
Meliadine project on schedule and budget – Underground development is 5% above plan and engineering was 67% complete at the end of March 2017. Construction activities are progressing well with the concrete batch plant being commissioned and pile installation restarted in March. Full camp facilities are expected to be completed in May ahead of the barge season
