VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 17, 2013) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to provide this update on the development activities underway at its Bachelor project.


Metanor produced 3,231 ounces of gold during the month of September. The ounces produced in September came from development and stope ores at its Bachelor Project for a total of 16,848 tonnes of ore at a feed grade of 6.14 grams / tonne with a 97.2% recovery. During the month of September, the project hoisted waste material three consecutive days in order to allow the continuous development of the drifts toward the ore zone, and to allow the blasting, and mucking of specific waste zones in the stope 13-0-02. These blasts targeted a better dilution control, and the immediate mucking was to avoid waste material to be blended with fresh blasted mineralized ore in the same drawpoints. The average grade in October is so far, exceeding 6.5 grams per tonne because of this tighter control.



The tonnage variation from month to month comes from the total number of actives stopes. Metanor continue its development plan on many levels in order to continue to have many stopes available for production, and eventually declare commercial production. During this quarter ending December 31st, development toward the ore zones on level 10, 11, and 14 continues while production continues on levels 12 and 13.
