Ressources Appalaches (TSX VENTURE:APP) reports that it is proceeding on the
path to gold production with the loan financing of US $10 M secured.
Mobilisation activities for the dewatering of the underground galleries have
commenced with the intent of starting dewatering in the coming week followed by
underground mapping of existing galleries and underground systematic sampling.


The second financing tranche of US $7.5 M (see press releases of May 08, 2013)
will be advanced upon certain specific conditions being satisfied, namely an
updated technical report of the Dufferin Mine including the detailed mine plan
and obtaining the remaining production approval with respect thereto within the
next 9 months. 


Message from the President and CEO

Alain Hupe states: "This loan financing provides the necessary funds to restart
gold production with existing milling, underground workings and support
infrastructure for 300 tonnes per day (TPD). We are confident that we will be
able to operate at a low all-in cost per ounce.


Our confidence is based on the fact that there is no significant capital
expenditure required to restart gold production and that the access to the
mineralised zone is by decline with no requirement for shaft construction and
complex extraction requirements.


Our primary expansion objective from 300 tonnes per day (TPD) operations is to
increase the geological potential of the gold deposit while maximising milling
capacity of the existing 1,000 TPD primary crushing unit." 


Production Approval Application Progress

The production permit (officially referred to as an Industrial Approval) is the
only remaining pending permit required in order to resume gold production at
Dufferin Mine.


During the course of the past few months The Company has completed the Tailings
Management Plan which includes anticipated expansion needs for 600 to 900TPD
tailings storage requirement. The Company also completed studies and overhauled
the Reclamation Plan and has advanced the mine planning activities. These plans
have been completed with the involvement and validation from independent mining
expertise.


The Company has included these studies with the production permit application
preparations and anticipate submitting the application for the production permit
to the Government Authorities of Nova Scotia within the next 7-10 days.
