Brigus Gold Meets Q2 Production Target

http://agoracom.com/ir/BrigusGold(“Brigus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has met its production guidance for a second consecutive quarter. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company produced 18,254 ounces of gold at an average grade of 3.30 grams per tonne (gpt) and a projected cash cost of between $800 and $825 per ounce. Production at the Company’s Black Fox Mine continues to increase as development progresses towards larger ore zones at depth.

The Q2 production target was achieved despite operating challenges. Severe forest fires in the region resulted in the shutdown of the Company’s Black Fox Mill for four days as well as intermittent suspension of mining operations due to smoke and power supply issues. There was no damage to the Company’s assets or the key safety components of the mill due to the fires.

About Brigus Gold

Brigus is a growing gold producer committed to maximizing shareholder value through a strategy of efficient production, targeted exploration and select acquisitions. The Company operates the wholly owned Black Fox Mine and Mill in the Timmins Gold District of Ontario, Canada. The Black Fox Complex encompasses the Black Fox Mine and adjoining properties in the Township of Black River-Matheson, Ontario, Canada. Brigus is also advancing the Goldfields Project located near Uranium City, Saskatchewan, Canada, which hosts the Box and Athona gold deposits. In Mexico, Brigus has granted Cangold Limited the option to acquire a 75% interest in the Company’s Ixhuatan Project located in the state of Chiapas. In the Dominican Republic, Brigus has signed an agreement to sell its remaining interests in three mineral exploration projects.

Avalon Announces Initial Definition of Measured Mineral Resources in Latest Resource Estimate for the Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements Deposit, Thor Lake, NWT

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (TSX:AVL)(NYSE Amex:MKT)(NYSE MKT:AVL)

is pleased to announce an updated resource estimate for the Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements Deposit, Thor Lake, NWT (the "Nechalacho Deposit"). The estimate was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. ("RPA") based on the assays from all drilling completed up to November, 2011. The updated resource estimate is highlighted by the initial definition of mineral resources in the Nechalacho Deposit at the key Measured level of confidence.

RPA has estimated Measured Mineral Resources of 8.90 million tonnes grading 1.64% TREO(1) and 21.7% HREO/TREO using the base case $260/tonne Net Metallurgical Return ("NMR") cut-off for the key Basal Zone part of the Nechalacho Deposit (see Table 1). Furthermore, within the Measured Mineral Resources, there are an estimated 8.42 million tonnes at the $400/tonne NMRcut-off grading 1.69% TREO and 21.82% HREO/TREO. This demonstrates that the Measured Mineral Resources continue to be robust at higher cut-off grades (see Table 3). Grades for individual rare earth element oxides are listed in Table 2.

The updated resource estimate for the Basal Zone has also resulted in an increase in the total Indicated Mineral Resources in the deposit to 63.76 million tonnes grading 1.52% TREO with 21.41% HREO/TREO at the $260/tonne NMR base case cut-off (Table 1). The total Measured and Indicated Resources of 72.66 million tonnes of 1.53% TREO and 21.5% HREO/TREO compares with the Indicated Mineral Resources of 57.49 million tonnes grading 1.56% TREO with 20.72% HREO/TREO reported previously for the Basal Zone in the news release dated January 27, 2011.

Tembo Gold Reports 90-95% Gold Recovery From Preliminary Metallurgical Testing

Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TEM)(FRANKFURT:T23)

is pleased to announce the results of its gold deportment and preliminary metallurgical testing which was conducted on 32 samples collected during an artisanal mining face sampling program conducted at the Tembo project in the Lake Victoria goldfield in Tanzania. The samples were submitted to SGS South Africa (Pty) Ltd for the study. The test work indicates that gravity recovery and direct cyanidation of near surface gold mineralization at the Tembo project is expected to yield gold recovery in the order of 90 to 95%.

The study consisted of the following:

--Gold (Au) and sulfur (S) assays were conducted on each sample. Based on

the gold results, the samples were grouped into three composite samples:

low grade 0 to 3g/t Au, medium grade 3 to 6g/t Au, and high grade 6 to

60g/t Au.

--Test work to determine the amenability of the mineralized material to

gravity recovery.

--Grading analysis to determine the gold distribution across the size

fractions.

--Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) to determine the amount of free gold or

gold that would respond to gravity recovery.

--Chemical analysis to determine the compositions of ore and metallurgical

test products.

--General mineralogical characterization of the ore by XRD and QEMSCAN.

--Identification and quantification of gold minerals, including native

gold, gold telluride etc. in the gravity concentrate.
