Richmond Minerals Inc. - Exploration Update

TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2011 /CNW/ - (RMD: TSXV) Richmond Minerals Inc. and Mag Copper Ltd. (QUE: CNSX) are pleased to provide an update on its Bondy Gneiss Complex 50/50 joint venture project located approximately 30 kilometres southeast of Mont Laurier, Quebec.

A diamond drill program will begin on or about December 8, 2011 to test the EM-1 electromagnetic and co-incidental magnetic anomaly located within the central project area. A minimum of three holes are planned to test the anomaly along the extent of its strike length. Elevated values for zinc (up to 2%), molybdenum and copper have been obtained in grab sampling of EM-1 surface exposures. Drilling in 2008 of a copper showing associated with an induced polarization anomaly located approximately 1 km south returned 0.21% copper with elevated values for gold and silver over a 37.45 metre interval.
