VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Jan. 21, 2014) – Falco Pacific Resource Group Inc. (“Falco Pacific” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:FPC) is pleased to advise that they have retained the services of Paul-Henri Girard as Senior Mining Advisor to oversee the advancement of the next phase of the Horne Mine Complex project which includes the Horne 5 Deposit. Mr. Girard brings to Falco over 30 years of experience in mine development and production.
Mr. Girard was most recently Vice-President of Canadian Operations for Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”). During his 25 years at Agnico, Mr. Girard was instrumental in the development of its flagship LaRonde mine and in the advancement of the Goldex and Lapa mines in Quebec. Mr. Girard was an integral part of a successful senior management team that oversaw the growth of Agnico from 400 employees to over 4,000 at the time of his retirement. Mr. Girard’s directive includes the review and analysis of all technical information and infrastructure requirements and helping develop a next step strategy for the Horne 5 Deposit.
“We are extremely pleased to have a mining engineer of Mr. Girard’s experience and procedural abilities oversee the next phase for Horne,” said Kelly Klatik, President and CEO of Falco Pacific. “His proven success in developing similar deposits throughout this region of Quebec lends itself perfectly to what the Company is striving to deliver with Horne 5.”
Falco Pacific is currently in the final stages of preparation of the maiden NI 43-101 resource for the Horne 5 Deposit, which represents the largest, partially developed gold deposit in the southern portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt. Horne 5 is one of a number of known zones of gold and gold-base metal mineralization, which forms the Horne Mine Complex, centered around the former producing Horne copper-gold deposit. The initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Horne 5 Deposit is anticipated to be delivered first quarter of 2014 and the Company has already begun the process of compiling the data to allow the incorporation of a number of other nearby zones/deposits into the resource model for the Horne Mine Complex. Falco has currently inputted in excess of 10,000 historical drill holes into the new resource model.
