Halifax, NS, January 21, 2016 – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) reports that the royalty agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Municipality of Parral (“the Municipality”) has been amended to replace the current 12% net profit royalty (“NPR”) and $30,000 monthly payment with a monthly payment of $47,500 and no NPR. The monthly payment of $47,500 increases on a sliding scale based on an increase in the monthly average market price of silver (“Silver Price”). The monthly payment will increase to $55,000 per month if the Silver Price exceeds $18 per ounce, $70,000 per month if the Silver Price exceeds $24 per ounce, and $87,500 if the Silver Price exceeds $28 per ounce. Upon entering into the initial Agreement the Company had provided the Municipality with a prepayment of $1,000,000 to be credited against future NPR payments. This prepayment has been forgiven by the Company in exchange for eliminating the NPR.
GoGold COO Anis Nehme stated, “Due to low metal prices the Municipality and GoGold agreed to renegotiate the Agreement. The Municipality is pleased with the environmental cleanup and job creation from the Company’s operations in Parral.”
GoGold expects the renegotiated Agreement to generate significant annual cost savings over the life of the Parral tailings project due to the elimination of the NPR and the Municipality also benefits from more certain fixed monthly payments.
