Brigus Gold Corp. : Brigus Gold Reports Q2 Production Results

2013 production results from the Company's Black Fox Mine.

(1) Excludes the impact of sales under the Goldstream agreement

"The second quarter production of 23,304 ounces of gold is a positive accomplishment for the Company," Said Daniel Racine, Brigus Gold's President and Chief Operating Officer. "Despite the temporary suspension of milling activities during this quarter the Company is on track to meet its original guidance of 90,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold in 2013."
Production during the quarter was impacted due to a temporary suspension of milling activities at the Black Fox Mill. As previously reported, milling operations were suspended for 20 days due to higher than normal water levels in the holding and water management facilities. Underground and open pit mining operations were not affected by the temporary mill suspension and the Company stockpiled ore which was processed once milling operations resumed.
The Company plans to release its second quarter 2013 financial results before the start of trading on Monday, August 12,
2013. Senior management will host a conference call at noon Atlantic Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Time) on that day to discuss the second quarter results.
