to 2,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) is nearing completion and is
expected to be finished in July. The Company is on track to meet
its annual production guidance for 2022 of between 210,000 and
225,000 ounces of gold.
GCM Mining processed a total of 52,731 tonnes in
May 2022 at its Maria Dama plant at Segovia, representing a daily
processing rate of 1,701 tpd, compared with 49,089 tonnes and 1,584
tpd in May 2021. Segovia’s head grades averaged 12.1 g/t in May
2022 compared with 12.6 g/t in May last year. For the first five
months of 2022, a total of 246,352 tonnes (equivalent to 1,631 tpd)
were processed at Segovia at an average head grade of 12.2 g/t
compared with a total of 229,747 tonnes (equivalent to 1,522 tpd)
at an average head grade of 12.7 g/t in the first five months last
year.
The Company also processed an average of 93 tpd
of tailings in May 2022 at its polymetallic plant at Segovia
resulting in the production of approximately 130 tonnes of zinc

have been stockpiled. The Company finalized the offtake contract
for the concentrates earlier this month and is making preparation
for the initial shipments which are expected to occur by the end of
this month. Payable production from the concentrates in May 2022 is
estimated to total approximately 114,000 pounds of zinc, 124,000
