The London Conference was for the French 'man in the street' one long Calvary as he saw M. Herriot abandoning one by one the cherished possessions of French preponderance on the Reparations Commission, the right of sanctions in the event of German default, the economic occupation of the Ruhr, the French-Belgian railway Régie, and finally, the military occupation of the Ruhr within a year. [12] This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian securities laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut" or "Argonaut Gold"). Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to statements with respect to the cost and timing of construction; permitting and legal processes in relation to mining permitting and approvals; estimated production and mine life of the various mineral projects of Argonaut; the ability to obtain permits for operations; synergies; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; the benefits of the development potential of the properties of Argonaut; the future price of gold, copper, and silver; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; success of exploration activities; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Argonaut, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently characterized by words such as "plan," "expect," "project," "intend," "believe," "anticipate", "estimate" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may", "should" or "will" occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Argonaut and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Envisaged is a 115 700 oz/y gold operation with a 17-year mine life. Average gold production of 150 000 oz/y is expected over the first five years. When the British Expeditionary Force landed in France in September 1939, they and the French reinforced and extended the Maginot line to the sea in a flurry of construction from 1939 to 1940, accompanied by general improvements all along the line. The final line was strongest around the industrial regions of Metz, Lauter and Alsace, while other areas were, in comparison, only weakly guarded. In contrast, the propaganda about the line made it appear far greater a construction than it was; illustrations showed multiple storeys of interwoven passages and even underground rail yards and cinemas. This reassured allied civilians.

There are several kinds of armoured cloches. Cloches are non-retractable turrets. The word cloche is a French term meaning bell due to its shape. All cloches were made of alloy steel. Cash cost figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.Total drilling, both surface and underground, within the Magino resource area is approximately 371,450 metres in 2,414 holes. The Qualified Person responsible for this section was unable to verify drilling completed before 2006 and excluded that data from being used to estimate Mineral Resources. This resulted in the removal of about 114,000 metres of data associated with 1,273 holes, most of which were short, small diameter underground core holes. The Florida Canyon mine is expected to initiate civil earthworks for the Phase III pad in the fourth quarter of 2023. Consolidated production of 53,911 GEOs, including pre-commercial production of 10,693 GEOs from the Magino mine, was 17% higher compared to 45,939 GEOs from the third quarter of 2022. The increase in production was largely due to initial production from the Magino mine, as higher production from the Florida Canyon mine offset lower production from the Company's Mexican mines. These factors are discussed in greater detail in Argonaut's most recent Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2023 (the "AIF") and in the most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. We encourage all investors to review the Risk Factors section of our AIF in detail prior to making an investment decision in Argonaut.

TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2023 /CNW/ - Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX: AR) (the "Company", "Argonaut Gold" or "Argonaut") is pleased to announce that commercial production has been achieved at the Company's Magino Mine effective November 1, 2023. These factors are discussed in greater detail in Argonaut's most recent Annual Information Form and in the most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements. Argonaut cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Argonaut believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this press release should not be unduly relied upon.

Argonaut Gold is a Canadian gold company with a portfolio of operations and multi-stage assets in North America. The company is in the commissioning phase at its Magino mine, located in Ontario, Canada. Magino is expected to achieve commercial production in the third quarter of 2023 and become Argonaut's largest and lowest cost mine. Haynes, Gavin (25 October 2017). "What's the stupidest thing a nation has ever done?". Theguardian.com . Retrieved 23 February 2023.We continue to ramp up the mill at Magino to steady-state and are expecting to achieve commercial production in the third quarter of this year. The plant has been running at or above nameplate throughput capacity when operating," comments COO Marc Leduc. The JM cloches ( jumelage de mitrailleuses or "twin machine guns") are the same as the GFM cloches except that they have one opening equipped with a pair of machine guns. There are 174 JM cloches on the line.

Observation posts were located on hills that provided a good view of the surrounding area. Their purpose was to locate the enemy, direct and correct the indirect fire of artillery, and report on the progress and position of critical enemy units. These are large reinforced buried concrete bunkers, equipped with armoured turrets containing high-precision optics, connected with the other fortifications by field telephone and wireless transmitters (known in French by the acronym T.S.F., Télégraphie Sans Fil).The Michipicoten Greenstone Belt area is part of the Wawa Sub-Province and hosts mainly precious metal deposits. Major breaks such as the Goudreau-Lochalsh Deformation Zone (GLDZ) host a number of gold deposits in the Wawa Sub-province. Zaloga, Steven (2010). Operation Nordwind 1945: Hitler's Last Offensive in the West. Osprey. ISBN 978-1-84603-683-5. Argonaut is in the process of preparing an updated National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 Technical Report for the Magino project, which it expects will be published during the first quarter of 2022. In the interest of finalizing the updated technical report in a timely manner, this updated report will be focused on the Project currently under construction and will not include expansion opportunities, including future potential underground mining. The updated report will include the current EAC and other items including, but not limited to, revised gold price assumptions, an updated mineral resource model which includes all grade control drilling data to date, optimizations to equipment sizing and the processing facilities, updated operating cost and sustaining capital. While the updated report will not contemplate expansion potential and future potential underground mining, Argonaut believes that these are future opportunities for Magino. Although Argonaut has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Argonaut undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed.
