Northgate Minerals L NXG Trading Up 2.64 on Young-Davidson Mine

In a press release Northgate Minerals Corporation announced its BOD had given formal approval for development of the Young-Davidson mine, located close to the Matachewan in Ontario, Canada.

The mine reports a combined 2.8 million ounces of both proven and projected reserves.  The mine is expected to have an annual production of 180,000 ounces (gold) with a net cash cost of $350 per ounce, this over a projected 15 year life-of-mine timeline.

There are expectations of employment for 600 people during construction, estimated to take two years.  Upon completion 275 people are projected as full time employees.

Ken Stowe, President & CEO, stated "Young-Davidson represents an integral part of our growth platform and fits our vision of developing and operating profitable and long-life operations in politically predictable, mining friendly jurisdictions. We are extremely pleased to be moving ahead with the project with the full support of our board and look forward to a formal celebration in the coming weeks to commemorate this important milestone. With construction slated to begin later this year, we expect to begin producing gold at Young-Davidson in 2012, creating sustainable and long-term value for our shareholders through disciplined growth and operational excellence."
