Anne will be responsible for the strategic execution of the Corporation’s global investor relations program and will be based in Toronto, Ontario.

Anne brings over 18 years of investor relations and corporate communication experience, including 11 years in mining, to Richmont. During her career, Anne has demonstrated a proven ability to create “best in class” global investor relations and communications programs and that experience will help position Richmont for continued success. She most recently served as Vice President, Investor Relations and Communications for AuRico Gold Inc. where she was a key member of the executive team and an integral part of numerous corporate transactions and the strategic execution of the corporation’s growth strategy.

“Anne is an excellent complement to our executive team at this exciting stage of our corporation’s evolution. Her significant knowledge and experience and demonstrated ability to create “best in class” investor relations programs will best position Richmont for the next phase of its strategic transformation. I look forward to working with Anne in her new role as we continue to grow Richmont in the coming years.” commented Renaud Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“I am excited to join the Richmont team as I see tremendous opportunity to create shareholder value. Richmont’s quality asset base in Canada has significant organic growth and exploration potential, particularly at the high-grade Island Gold operation, and is led by a proven management team. With a strong Balance Sheet and growing free cash flow streams, Richmont is well positioned for the next stage of its strategic growth profile. I am looking forward to working with the Richmont team to unlock the inherent value at Richmont.” commented Anne Day, Vice President, Investor Relations.
