GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (“GoGold”) is pleased to announce that it has received the environmental permit allowing development of the Santa Gertrudis gold mine from the Mexican Department of Environment (Semarnat). Construction is expected to commence immediately following the completion of final engineering of the heap leach pad, the processing plant design and receipt of the change of land use permit. The permit includes acceptance of the environmental impact assessment for its Santa Gertrudis gold mine in Sonora State Mexico.
Terry Coughlan, president and chief executive officer of GoGold, states: "This is a significant milestone for GoGold in the development of its second mine in Mexico, final design and engineering are now underway to secure the change of land use permit. It is anticipated that the construction phase will take approximately six months. We look forward to building a high-quality gold mine that should deliver significant economic benefit to our shareholders."
Santa Gertrudis has an Indicated Resource of 810,000 ounces of gold and 255,000 ounces of inferred resource. A Pre-Economic Assessment (“PEA”) (see press release dated September 10, 2014) was completed with an after-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 58% using a gold price assumption on US$1250 per ounce. All in Sustaining Cash Cost per ounce of gold was calculated to be $699 for life of mine (“LOM”). The study projects an initial capital cost of only $32 million USD (including a 20% contingency) and a LOM of 12 years with an average annual production of 56,000 ounces of gold. The mine production is planned at 7,500 tonnes per day (“tpd”) on a conventional heap leach with a sustaining capital of only $16 million over LOM. The Preliminary Economic Assessment Study was prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. in accordance with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects” (“NI 43-101”) and was filed on SEDAR on September 30, 2014.
