HALIFAX,
NS, Oct. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - GoGold
Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the
Company") is pleased to report production for the year ending
September 30, 2022 of 1,810,326
silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 741,772 silver ounces,
10,708 gold ounces, and 469 tonnes of copper. Quarterly production
at Parral was 400,467 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of
145,944 silver ounces, 2,278 gold ounces, and 124 tonnes of
copper.
The Company had $20M USD in input
tax recoverable which related to VAT receivable from the Mexican
Federal Government for the years of 2017 to 2022. The Company
received $11M which related to 2017
and 2018 which included interest of $5M. Management continues to work with the tax
authority on the remaining claims and expects to receive these
amounts in due course.
"2022 represents our eighth year of continuous production at
Parral, and we look forward to approximately seven more years of
sustainable production as we strengthen our ESG programs through
our tailings reprocessing and remediation in Mexico," said Brad
Langille, President and CEO. "The Company was successful in
collecting its VAT receivable of $6M
USD plus interest of $5M USD
for a total of $11M USD. The Company
continues to maintain a very strong balance sheet and cash position
enabling us to also execute on our exciting Los Ricos project."
In the month of August 2022, the
Parral operation endured some of the most intense rainfalls seen at
the project to date, which resulted in significant dilution to the
pregnant solution. All rain and solution was properly
contained, with no solution discharged into the environment. The
diluted solution resulted in diminished production levels in the
months of August and September, as the leaching kinetics were
impacted by the rain event. Production appears to be trending
upwards in the beginning of October.
