GCM Mining Corp. (“GCM Mining” or the “Company”) (TSX: GCM, OTCQX:
TPRFF) announced today that it produced a total of 16,370 ounces of
gold in June 2022 at its Segovia Operations bringing the total for
the second quarter of 2022 to 53,198 ounces compared with 52,198
ounces from Segovia in the second quarter of 2021. In the second
quarter of 2022, the Company also produced 85,741 ounces of silver,
up from 54,573 ounces of silver in the second quarter last year,
together with approximately 294,000 pounds of zinc and 345,000
pounds of lead.
For the first half of 2022, the Company produced
103,149 ounces of gold at its Segovia Operations, up from 101,256
ounces of gold in the first half last year. The Company reported
consolidated gold production in the first half last year of 103,684
ounces which included 2,428 ounces from Marmato up to February 4,
2021, the date of the loss of control of Aris Gold Corporation.
GCM Mining’s trailing 12-months’ total gold
production at the end of June 2022 was 208,282 ounces, up about 1%
over last year. The Company remains on track to meet its 2022
annual production guidance of 210,000 to 225,000 ounces of gold,
aided by the completion of the Maria Dama plant expansion to 2,000
tonnes per day (“tpd”) in the third quarter of 2022.
GCM Mining processed a total of 44,047 tonnes in
June 2022 at its Maria Dama plant, representing a daily average
processing rate of 1,468 tpd, at an average head grade of 12.8 g/t.
Plant operations in June 2022 reflected a scheduled 120-hour
stoppage to change the linings of the mill in addition to routine
repairs and improvements. For the second quarter of 2022, a total
of 147,580 tonnes, equivalent to 1,622 tpd, were processed at
Segovia at an average head grade of 12.4 g/t compared with a total
of 143,910 tonnes, equivalent to 1,581 tpd, at an average head
grade of 12.6 g/t in the second quarter last year. This brings the
daily average processing rate for the first half of 2022 to 1,604
tpd at an average head grade of 12.3 g/t compared with 1,526 tpd
and 12.7 g/t in the first half last year.
The Company’s polymetallic plant at Segovia
processed an average of approximately 97 tpd of tailings in the
first half of 2022 resulting in the production of approximately 645
tonnes of zinc concentrate and approximately 547 tonnes of lead
concentrate which have been stockpiled and are expected to start
shipping in the next few weeks under an offtake agreement with an
international customer that was executed in June. Payable
production from the concentrates in the first half of 2022 is
estimated to total approximately 546,000 pounds of zinc, 683,000
pounds of lead, approximately 57,600 ounces of silver and
approximately 200 ounces of gold. Actual payable quantities are
subject to change and will be finalized once the concentrates are
shipped.
