MONTREAL, May 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT) (“TomaGold” or the “Corporation”) announces that it has retained Evans & Evans, Inc., a leading Canadian boutique Investment Banking firm, to conduct an independent valuation of its assets. The valuation report will be delivered to the Corporation in the coming weeks.
“With the strong surge in the gold price, we believe that TomaGold's assets have gained in value, particularly the Monster Lake property, whose high-grade inferred resource is estimated at 1,109,700 tonnes at an average grade of 12.14 g/t Au for a total of 433,300 ounces of gold (see press release dated March 28, 2018), of which we own 22.5% with IAMGOLD Corporation (75%) and Quinto Resources Inc. (2.5%),” said David Grondin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TomaGold.
“This valuation report will allow us to get a true picture of the value of our assets and will also guide the choices we will make regarding the future of TomaGold, including the spin-out transaction or the sale of some of our assets. Since the resurgence of the gold market, we have seen some renewed interest from the mining community in our assets and we will ensure that our future decisions are in the best interest of our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Grondin.
