GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) is pleased to announce the financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, with Parral generating $7.6 million (all amounts are in U.S. dollars) from the sale of 355,741 silver equivalent ounces.
“GoGold maintains a strong balance sheet with over $100 million USD in cash which continues to allow us to advance our Los Ricos South project in an expeditious manner. Reprocessing of older material stacked in 2015-2016 at Parral allows us to maintain a strong cash balance by deferring sustaining capital and more rapidly moving ounces from inventory to cash. Our most important priority is the advancement of Los Ricos South towards production and cash flow, and after that advancing Los Ricos North. We have focused on having a strong cash position so that we have the liquidity to achieve this,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “In addition to the advancement of Los Ricos South, we expect to release the results on our initial preliminary economic assessment at Los Ricos North shortly. This will be followed by an updated resource, PEA which will be completed for Los Ricos South this summer, with a pre-feasibility study before year’s end.

At Parral during the quarter, old material which had originally been stacked on the heap leach pad in 2015-2016 was removed from the pad, re-agglomerated, and then restacked using the current stacking process. It was determined that the material could be rehandled and restacked with quicker metal recoveries providing positive cash flow, as well as reclaiming heap leach pad area for future stacking which will defer pad expansion capital. An assessment of the additional costs associated with rehandling and restacking resulted in a negative pre-tax non-cash inventory adjustment of $8.0 million in the quarter and $10.5 million for the six months ending March 31, 2023.
