ABOUT PURE GOLD
Pure Gold is a TSX.V listed Canadian focused gold developer. A recent feasibility study released by the Company outlines a long life high margin mine, with low initial capital requirements and a fast timeline to production. In addition, specific exploration targets and satellite resources not considered in the feasibility study suggest an opportunity for near-term growth to potentially further enhance the economics of the project.
