Premier Gold expands Hasaga project in Red Lake

Premier Gold Mines’ (TSX:PG; OTC:PIRGF) story consists of a lot of moving parts, which are currently “moving us in the right direction,” CEO Ewan Downie writes in the junior’s C-Suite blog. The latest in that story is the $5 million cash and share acquisition of Pure Gold Mining’s (TSXV: PGM) 28 mining claims known as the Buffalo claims that are contiguous with Premier’s past-producing Hasaga gold property in Ontario’s Red Lake district.
