Halifax, NS – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) reports the sale of 382,150 silver equivalent ounces in the quarter that generated revenue of $6.3 million, which represents a 35% increase over the same period in 2017.  The average realized silver price of $16.46 in the quarter ending June 30, 2018 compared to $16.26 in the same period in 2017. (All amounts are in U.S. dollars)

The Company stacked 447,193 tonnes on the leach pad which represents a 52% increase from the third quarter of 2017. Management foresees an increase in production in future quarters due to the higher stacking rates and more fresh tailings coming under leach. Adjusted cash costs per silver equivalent ounce for the quarter were stable at $10.30 per silver equivalent ounce which was up only 7% from the second quarter 2017.

Year to date the Company has net income of $26.4 million and total comprehensive income of $38.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The Company reports a net loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 which is driven predominately by an inventory net realizable value adjustment of $3.7 million recorded in the quarter.

As a result of the sale of Santa Gertrudis in November 2017 the company’s working capital has improved by $50.9 million to $40.6 million during fiscal 2018. Shareholders equity has also improved by $39.4 million to $127.2 million during the year. The Company remains in strong financial condition with $11.9 million in cash, a royalty on Santa Gertrudis that management believes could be sold for $12-15 million, inventory stacked on the heap leach pad with recoverable metal worth approximately $40 million, and no debt.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any of GoGold’s securities in the United States.

This news release may contain “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Parral tailings project, future operating margins, future production and processing, and future plans and objectives of GoGold, constitute forward looking information that involve various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking information is based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such information but which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions in connection with the continuance of GoGold and its subsidiaries as a going concern, general economic and market conditions, mineral prices, the accuracy of mineral resource estimates, and the performance of the Parral project. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from GoGold’s expectations include exploration and development risks associated with GoGold’s projects, the failure to establish estimated mineral resources or mineral reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of recovery rates, and global economic conditions. For additional information with respect to risk factors applicable to GoGold, reference should be made to GoGold’s continuous disclosure materials filed from time to time with securities regulators, including, but not limited to, GoGold’s Annual Information Form. The forward-looking information contained in this release is made as of the date of this release.

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 August 10, 2018 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, as presented on SEDAR.

Although the Corporation believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking information are based on reasonable assumptions, such information are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking information.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking information include market prices, mining and exploration results, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions.
