About RX Gold & Silver Inc.
RX Gold is a gold and silver mining company focused on growth in North America. Currently RX Gold is concentrating on continuing mining and expanding development at its 100%-owned Drumlummon Mine. The Drumlummon Mine is a bonanza style low sulphidation epithermal gold and silver deposit with historic production of approximately one million ounces of gold equivalent. The mine has never been fully exploited or explored and material that was once considered waste is now potentially economic. In addition, RX Gold has discovered a series of entirely new high-grade gold and silver veins that remain open for expansion in three directions.
