Rio Novo Gold Inc.

Rio Novo Gold (RN-TSX) is an emerging gold company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold mineral resource properties in proven mineral jurisdictions in South America. Our goal is to become a socially and environmentally responsible gold producer with the development of our two district scale, underexplored properties in Brazil: the past-producing Almas Gold Project, previously mined by Vale, and the Guarantã Gold Project. The development of both projects will take full advantage of local infrastructure, including low-cost power, water, paved roads and a skilled labour pool. Rio Novo's management team, board of directors and technical advisors enjoy an outstanding track record in mine financing, exploration, development and production with comprehensive experience and operational success in Brazil.
