Ressources Appalaches: Dufferin Mine Dewatering Progresses to Expose Portal

Ressources Appalaches (TSX VENTURE:APP) report that it has started its second
week of dewatering operations and more importantly has filed for production
permit approval to restart gold mining activities within the coming months. Last
week's filing of the production permit application (officially referred to as an
Industrial Approval application) is the only remaining pending permit
requirement in order to resume gold production at Dufferin Mine. Concurrently,
rehabilitation of underground galleries and the launching of the final stage of
the mill refurbishment works have begun. 


Pictures relating the progress of dewatering operations and rehabilitation
activities can be found on the Company's website at:

Path to Production

The Company is also preparing for a site visit by the financiers of the Dufferin
Mine Project for a two day progress assessment. The purpose of the on-site visit
is to evaluate the latest path to gold production developments against the
stipulations for the final disbursement of funds of US $7.5 million (see press
releases of May 08 & 14, 2013).


The final disbursement of US $7.5 million will provide the necessary funds,
including the initial operating capital, to restart gold production with the
existing milling, underground workings and support infrastructure.


The lesser amount of necessary capital to restart gold production is only
possible due to a maintenance of the majority of the Dufferin Mine facilities
over the past years. Equally significant is the access to the mineralised zone
by decline eliminating the requirement for shaft construction and complex
extraction methods. There are no other significant capital expenditure required
in order to restart production in 2013. Initial acquisition costs which were
finalised debt-free in 2011 rendered 100% of the Dufferin Mine and its claims to
Ressources Appalaches.
