Halifax, NS – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) reports an 83% increase in  revenue to $7.0 million over the previous quarter and a net income of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The Corporation closed the quarter in a strong financial position with $16.0 million in cash and marketable securities.  (All amounts are in U.S. dollars).

The Corporation maintains a strong balance sheet and no debt. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 the Companies marketable securities in Metalla Royalty and Streaming Limited increased in value by $3.7 million. The Corporation is in a strong financial position and has the cash to explore the newly acquired Los Ricos project. The Company has budgeted $4.0 million on exploration for the remainder of calendar 2019 to complete a total of 10,000 meters of drilling.

“The drill results to date at Los Ricos have been some of the best in my career,” stated Brad Langille, President and CEO. “The high grades and wide zones identified thus far are less than 150m from surface. Our team has reviewed thousands of historical documents dating back 100 years which has allowed us to develop high probability targets for drilling.”

Production increased each month during the quarter for a total of 424,210 silver equivalent ounces that  generated revenue of $7.0 million on the sale of 475,921 silver equivalent ounces at an average realized price of $14.77, and at an adjusted cash cost of $10.11.  The Company sold more than produced due to a shipment in transit at the end of the previous quarter.  The difference between produced and sold will be much less in future quarters. 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 the Company stacked 478,874 tons of ore, which is an increase of 35% over the previous quarter, representing 640,000 recoverable silver equivalent ounces. Stacking rates are expected to increase further for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.  Production continues to be strong and the Company expects another strong quarter of production growth.

“Production at Parral continues to improve and the team has done an excellent job increasing tons stacked on the heap leach pad which will lead to continued improvements in production,” stated Langille.

Cautionary non-IFRS Measures and Additional IFRS Measures 
The Company believes that investors use certain non-IFRS and additional IFRS 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 IFRS. Non-IFRS and additional IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Additional IFRS 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. “Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital” is a non-IFRS performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to “Net cash used in operating activities” as presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Per ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the ounces of metal sold in the period. “Cash costs per ounce” and “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” as used in this analysis are non-IFRS 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-IFRS 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, “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. “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. “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-IFRS and IFRS measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated May 8, 2019, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 as presented on SEDAR.
