New Gold Looks to Expand Rainy River Project

More exploration at New Gold's Rainy River project.

Part of the work will explore the potential of expanding the footprint of its planned open pit mine.

Vice-president of exploration Mark Peterson says areas to the west of the original site will be looked at.

The company says it's also moving to complete the environment assessment process and obtain the necesary permitting to begin construction next year.
