With approximately 1.8 million ounces of gold in reserves, increased cash flow, and projects ready for development, Brigus Gold is well positioned for growth. It combines current production with an excellent development pipeline in primarily low-risk operating jurisdictions. The company's Black Fox mine located near Timmins, Ontario is currently producing gold and is on track to reach steady state production levels of 90,000 - 100,000 gold ounces in 2013.
Mines in the district where Jaguar currently operates have proven continuity to depths of up to 2,400 meters. Jaguar's mineral resources are to an average depth of less than 400 meters.
