ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) is pleased to inform shareholders that IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD”) have started open pit mining and processing gold ore from the Fayolle Property located in Clericy township, Quebec, on which Globex retains a two percent (2%) Net Smelter Royalty (NSR).

Per information contained in the NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate of the Fayolle Gold Project published by Monarch Gold in 2019, the Fayolle deposit has a Measured and Indicated Resource of 706,400 tonnes grading 4.89 g/t Au based upon a gold price of $1,300 per ounce.
