GCM Mining Announces August 2022 Production
16 September 2022 - 7:00AM
GCM Mining Corp. (“GCM Mining” or the “Company”) (TSX: GCM, OTCQX:
TPRFF) announced today that its Segovia Operations produced 18,852
ounces of gold in August 2022, up from 17,377 ounces of gold in
August last year. This brings the total gold production for the
first eight months of 2022 to 139,952 ounces, up from 133,891
ounces in the first eight months last year. Segovia’s trailing
12-months’ total gold production at the end of August 2022 was
212,450 ounces, up about 3% over 2021. The Company remains on track
to meet its annual production guidance for 2022 of between 210,000
and 225,000 ounces of gold.
Benefitting from the completion of the expansion
of capacity at its Maria Dama processing plant at Segovia in August
2022, GCM Mining processed a total of 57,073 tonnes in the month,
representing a daily processing rate of 1,841 tpd, compared with
50,245 tonnes and 1,621 tpd in August 2021. Segovia’s head grades
averaged 11.3 g/t in August 2022 compared with 12.0 g/t in August
last year. For the first eight months of 2022, a total of 401,394
tonnes (equivalent to 1,652 tpd) were processed at Segovia at an
average head grade of 12.0 g/t compared with a total of 365,805
tonnes (equivalent to 1,505 tpd) at an average head grade of 12.7
g/t in the first eight months last year. Production activities in
the Company’s mines and in the small-scale mines in its Segovia
mining title in July and August were impacted by a temporary
shortage in the supply of detonators for explosives. The situation
is beginning to normalize and this should benefit production
through the balance of the year.
The Company also processed an average of 107 tpd
of tailings in August 2022 at its polymetallic plant at Segovia
resulting in the production of approximately 133 tonnes of zinc
concentrate and approximately 106 tonnes of lead concentrate.
Payable production from the concentrates in August 2022 is
estimated to total approximately 124,000 pounds of zinc, 137,000
pounds of lead, 9,900 ounces of silver and 128 ounces of gold.
Actual payable quantities are subject to change and will be
finalized once the concentrates are shipped. To date, the Company
has produced a total of approximately 926 tonnes of lead
concentrate and 1,071 tonnes of zinc concentrate which have been
stockpiled. Transportation of the first concentrates to port has
commenced this week and the first shipment to the international
offtake customer is expected to take place before the end of
September.
