VANCOUVER — IDM Mining (TSX: IDM; US-OTC: RVRCF) has taken a step toward production at its Red Mountain gold project – located 15 km northeast of Stewart, BC – after cleaning up its balance sheet and closing a private placement that will fund it through the permit process it hopes will end by late 2016.

The company optioned Lake Shore’s Mexican exploration portfolio and was on the hook for a series of balloon payments, despite shifting its focus to Red Mountain.
“This has been in plan since we initially restructured the company last year. The history is that there was a top-of-the-market option deal to acquire the Mexican assets that our current management team didn’t negotiate,” president and CEO Robert McLeod said during an interview.
