2015YEAR IN REVIEW
In 2015 with a renewed focus and clear strategy we reinvested in our operations to position the company for long-term success
and shareholder value creation.
During the year we grew production and invested in Island Gold to unlock the inherent potential of this asset.
We grew our reserve inventory and extended mine life at both operations, putting Richmont in the strongest position in its 35-year history.
