Pure Gold: Forest Fire Breaks Out Nearby Madsen Mine

It appears that a forest fire has broken out nearby to Pure Gold Mining’s (TSXV: PGM) Madsen Mine in the Red Lake, Ontario district. The forest fire is said to have begun near the mine site, and is currently moving east-southeast away from the mine. The fire is said to currently be approximately 420 hectares in size.
