Augustine Ventures Inc. Announces Granting of Stock Options
Dr. Robert (Bob) Dodds, President and Chief Executive Officer of Augustine, says "the issuance of stock options is being made to recognize and reward the dedication and hard work of the directors, management and a consultant in maintaining Augustine as a viable and active company and in continuing to advance the gold resource on its Wawa Gold Project. Augustine is confident that with the anticipated completion of the previously announced funding in these difficult times for the mining sector, Augustine's exploration program will both increase and improve the known gold resource."
Dr. Dodds adds that "if production becomes feasible, the Wawa Gold Project has clear development benefits, including:
- ready infrastructure with roads already in place connected to a provincial highway, the community of Wawa within several kms, power line nearby and a paved airstrip within several kms,
- no issues with respect to recent changes to the Mining Act in Ontario and exploration permits, and
- strong support from the community of Wawa and the nearby First Nations."
