NEW YORK, April 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Reporter has posted exclusive video interviews with three CEOs whose companies -- Eastmain Resources Inc. (TSX:ER), Taranis Resources Inc. (TSX-V:TRO), and Emgold Mining Corp. (TSX-V:EMR) -- are actively engaged in developing known gold resources.
Investors can watch or download the interviews, along with additional content recorded in Toronto at the 2008 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention, at www.WallStreetReporter.com.
Eastmain Resources Inc. (TSX:ER) is working in the exciting new gold district of Northern Quebec. "There've been some big deposits found," says CEO Don Robinson. "We own two deposits there already and we've made a discovery with Goldcorp."
Highlights of the interview:
-- An overview of the rich discovery, which grades 10 grams of gold per
ton at the surface, even before the drills come in.
-- The "fire sale" price of $16 an ounce the company paid for its
eponymous resource, the Eastmain mine.
-- A timetable of future milestones, including drilling on both of the
company's major projects on the way to a more complete resource
estimate.
Taranis Resources Inc. (TSX-V:TRO) is putting four drills to work this summer on its Thor project as it moves toward 43-101 status. "Right now there's 2 kilometers of mineralization exposed on the surface," says CEO John Gardiner. "We feel it has enormous potential."
Highlights of the interview:
-- More on how TRO expects to move "very fast" toward development on
Thor.
-- The company's relationship with Royal Gold to expand a known resource
in Finland.
-- Mr. Gardiner's notes on the company's relatively undiluted structure,
with under 15 million shares currently issued.
Emgold Mining Corp. (TSX-V:EMR) is about 3/4 through the process of securing new permits to redevelop the Idaho-Maryland property, which was once California's second-biggest underground mine. "People have concerns whether you can get a permit in California, but the state actually produces more minerals than Nevada," says CEO David Watkinson.
Highlights of the interview:
-- Background on the project's rich history and current grades of around
0.43 ounces of gold per ton.
-- Future milestones to look out for on the road to redevelopment by
early 2009.
-- Why Mr. Watkinson sees parallels between his company's potential
and the early phases of the Goldcorp success story.
