"COVID-19 may have put a temporary halt on our exploration activities but we are still extremely busy preparing for the post-COVID period and a rising gold market," said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarch. "In fact, we recently announced a $5 million financing with the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec for the Beaufor mine (see press release dated May 7, 2020), excellent results for the Fayolle deposit (see press release dated April 30, 2020) and the McKenzie Break deposit (see press release dated February 26, 2020) and strengthening of our management team with the appointment of Guylaine Daigle to our Board of Directors. The coming period should be equally interesting as we continue to work on the development of our flagship Wasamac deposit, which is currently attracting renewed interest from the mining and financial community, as well as our other substantial mining assets, including the Croinor Gold and Swanson deposits and the Camflo and Beacon ore processing plants."
