Brian McEwen, Buffalo Gold, President and CEO, stated, "This is a major step for the Company as it establishes the initial revenue stream for the Furtei mine. We are very pleased to be working with the MRI Group and look forward to their continued involvement as we grow our production at Furtei and other projects."

A NI 43-101 report is being prepared by Wardrop engineering, and will include updated geological models and resource estimates. This will form the basis of the in-house feasibility study of underground development, also being completed by Wardrop. Tim Manula, PGeo is the qualified person defined under NI 43-101 guidelines completing the first report from Wardrop, which is estimated to take 6 weeks.
