Ressources Appalaches Start Crushing Ore at the Dufferin Mine

Ressources Appalaches (TSX VENTURE:APP)(FRANKFURT:OU3) is pleased to report the
crushing unit of the Dufferin Gold Mine processing plant began processing ore
and the gravity line at the plant is currently being tested. As the ball mill
had been already tested and ready to roll, the remaining flotation process will
be commissioned as a continuous process to complete the plant circuit.


Underground, the initial face is now producing ore on a sustained basis. A
second face located at an advantageous level near surface (see Press Release of
April 15, 2014) will be operated for additional ore to increase surface
stockpiling. Currently, more than 1,500 tonnes of ore are stockpiled
guaranteeing a steady startup operation to the processing plant.


Alain Hupe, Ressources Appalaches President and CEO, reported that "producing
ore from a second face at vein #1, the start of the crushing unit and gravity
line at the Dufferin processing plant are all very significant steps to produce
the first Dore during May. Following this milestone, we will continue ramping up
production to 300 tonnes per day as planned".
