HALIFAX, NS, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - GoGold Resources
Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the
Company") is pleased to announce the financial results for the
second fiscal quarter of 2022, for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 where Parral generated
$10.3 million in revenue (all amounts
are in U.S. dollars) from the sale of 443,942 silver
equivalent ounces.
"In the quarter, we continued to focus on our Los Ricos project
as we continue to advance our second 100,000 metre drill program,"
said Brad Langille, President and
CEO. "Parral continues to produce for us, providing
meaningful cash flow contributing to the general and administrative
costs and the Los Ricos exploration budget. The cash flow
generated at Parral increased by over $1
million from the December quarter as we completed the
transition between tailings zones at the project."
During the quarter Parral generated free cash of $4.4 million before working capital
changes. Silver equivalent ounces sold increased by 11%
compared to the December quarter end. Production is lower
compared to the prior year as the project transitioned to a
different zone in the tailings deposit which temporarily affected
the leaching of pad kinetics. Stacking of recoverable ounces
on the heap leach pad exceeded production by 18%, which resulted in
a cash investment of $3.1 million
associated with the increase in heap inventory. The
Corporation is expected to benefit from production from these
stacked ounces in future quarters.
Highlights for the quarter ending March
31, 2022:
- Revenue of $10.3 million on the
sale of 443,942 silver equivalent ounces at a realized price per
ounce of $23.28 per oz
- Cash of $83.3 million USD
- Production of 455,991 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of
186,655 silver ounces, 2,791 gold ounces, and 125 copper
tonnes
- Completed bought deal financing for net proceeds of
$33.4 million on the sale of 16.1
million common shares at a price of $2.85 CAD per share
At Los Ricos, the Company drilled 21,052 metres on the projects
for the quarter ended March 31, 2022
compared to 22,045 metres in the quarter ending March 31, 2021. The Company capitalized
$6.1 million to the projects for
drilling, exploration and consulting for the quarter ended
March 31, 2022, compared to
$5.6 million in the prior year. This
included $4.0 million at Los Ricos
North and $2.1 million at Los Ricos
South. The Corporation is undergoing a 100,000 metre drilling
campaign at Los Ricos North in 2022 with the focus on increasing
ounces in Mineral Resource Estimates.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be,

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

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, the Los Ricos 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 the GoGold's projects, the
failure to establish estimated mineral resources or mineral
reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of recovery
rates, the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and global
economic conditions. For additional information with respect to
risk factors applicable to GoGold, reference should be made to

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.
"Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash
working capital" is a non-GAAP 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 tonnes
of ore processed in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" and "all-in
sustaining costs per ounce" as used in this analysis 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,
"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-GAAP and
GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and
Analysis dated February 8, 2022 for
the quarter ended December 31, 2021,
as presented on SEDAR.
