Tim Warman, Fiore’s CEO commented, “In light of the challenges posed by COVID-19, the Pan Mine’s achievements are particularly remarkable. While keeping employee safety at the forefront, Pan successfully set a new annual gold production record as the benefits of transitioning to crushing became evident. At the same time, we continued to focus on our corporate growth goals taking meaningful steps to move all three of our assets forward. With a robust PEA in place and rigs already turning at Gold Rock, we look forward to advancing the Feasibility Study through 2021. At Golden Eagle, we issued a positive resource update and hope to advance this overlooked asset with other partners in the area. And with our successful drill program at Pan, we continue to take tangible steps to achieving our goal of operating Pan and Gold Rock in unison, creating the only multi-asset, 100% US domestic gold producer.”
