About RIC ========= Hi everyone, Our team, ConsultEx Group, composed of four students in the administration program at the Montreal Business and Management School (ESG, UQAM), is currently doing a comparative research regarding the investor’s perception in the gold mining sector. Our research is mainly focused on Richmont Mines (RIC) and we would also be interested in the investor’s perception of the Quebec gold mining industry as well of their perception of Richmont Mines Inc. We aim to understand the investor’s profile and to uncover the main factors influencing the value of stock action in mining companies as a whole and for those related to Richmont Mines Inc. We believe your knowledge and experience in this sector is significant. We would like to have your opinion and comments concentrating on why you chose to invest in the goldbearing sector, the factors influencing your choice of investments, and your perception of the gold mining industry and of Richmont Mines. If you are interested, we would like to arrange an interview via telephone or alternatively we will be available in New York City from March 2nd until March 6th 2009. Please contact us via email (groupe.consultex@gmail.com) before February 26th 2009 to inform us of your availabilities, and/or for further information. We are looking forward to hearing from you and to share your point of view. Yours faithfully, ConsultEx Group Hélène Beaudoin Julie Duchesneau Emilie Morin Brunelli François Mercier groupe.consultex@gmail.com

Silver Is Again Outperforming Gold--by James Turk 2/23/09 kitco.com ............"Both gold and silver can accomplish the same objective. Physical gold and physical silver – in contrast to the numerous paper representations of these precious metals – are tangible and not financial assets, so their usefulness and therefore value is not dependent upon any one person’s, company’s or government’s promise."......... and to those who incessantly complain about premiums: ....."the true value of each precious metal is only dependent upon the assessment given to it by the market, which comprises the multitude of people throughout the globe who are continually evaluating"..... ..........."Therefore, the logical conclusion is that the ratio will in time work its way lower and eventually fall back all the way to 40 as its first target. Given that it is now at 69.1, the potential gain in the ratio exceeds an eye-opening 42%, and that is to just the ratio’s first target. In time I expect the ratio to fall back toward to lows reached in 1980, when the last, great bull market move in the precious metals concluded."............. ........."The major trend in the ratio has changed. Consequently, in the months immediately ahead I expect silver will rise more rapidly than gold.".........
