HALIFAX, NS, Dec. 22, 2022 /CNW/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) is pleased to announce the financial results for the year ending September 30, 2022, with Parral generating $36 million (all amounts are in U.S. dollars) from the sale of 1.7 million silver equivalent ounces.

“As we look forwards towards 2023 and the opportunity for value creation at Los Ricos, it cannot be understated what great position the Company is in with such a strong balance sheet. That, and the effects an increasing commodity price will have on Parral cash flows will allow us to fully take advantage of the opportunities that Los Ricos presents,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “We believe 2023 at Los Ricos will be a year of increasing resources, advancing economic studies in Los Ricos South with the inclusion of the recently acquired Eagle concession, and a first look at economics in Los Ricos North with an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). We expect the year ahead will be strong in value creation for GoGold.”

The Company’s strong balance sheet, which includes $73.3 million of cash and no debt, provides the resources for management to execute on the Los Ricos projects.  The Company drilled 26,348 metres for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (“Q4-22”) and 90,042 metres for the year then ended.  The majority of the drilling in Q4-22 was on the Company’s newly acquired Eagle concession, which has produced some of the strongest results to date in the Los Ricos district. The Eagle covers the northern strike extension of the Main Deposit on the Los Ricos South (“LRS”) property.This represents an extension to the previously defined Mineral Resource Estimate at LRS, upon which the January 20, 2021 PEA was released. 

Highlights for the year ending September 30, 2022:

• Cash of $73.3 million USD
• Revenue of $36.1 million on the sale of 1,721,977 silver equivalent ounces at a realized price per ounce of $20.94 per oz

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures

Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income include “Operating income (loss)”. These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company’s mine and operating performance. Per ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” and “Adjusted all-in sustaining costs per ounce” are used in this analysis and are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. “Adjusted cash costs per ounce” may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the period. “Adjusted all-in sustaining costs per ounce” include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated December 21, 2022 for the year ended September 30, 2022, as presented on SEDAR.
