About Condor Gold plc:
Condor Gold plc was admitted to AIM in May 2006 and dual listed
on the TSX in January 2018. The Company is a gold exploration and
development company with a focus on Nicaragua.
In August 2018, the Company announced that the Ministry of the
Environment in Nicaragua had granted the Company an Environmental
Permit for the development, construction and operation of a
processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 tonnes per
day at its wholly-owned La India gold project ("La India Project").
The Environmental Permit is considered to be the master permit for
mining operations in Nicaragua. Condor Gold published a
Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") on the La India Project in December
2014, as summarised in the Technical Report as defined below. The
PFS details an open pit gold Mineral Reserve in the Probable
category of 6.9 Mt at 3.0 g/t gold for 675,000 oz gold, producing
80,000 oz gold per annum for seven years. La India Project contains
a Mineral Resource of 9,850Kt at 3.6 g/t gold for 1,140Koz gold in
the Indicated category and 8,479Kt at 4.3g/t gold for 1,179Koz gold
in the Inferred category. The Indicated Mineral Resource is
inclusive of the Mineral Reserve.
Environmental Permits have also been granted in April and May
2020 in relation to the Mestiza and America open pits respectively,
both located in the vicinity of the La India Project. The Mestiza
open pit hosts 92Kt at a grade of 12.1 g/t gold (36,000 oz
contained gold) in the Indicated Mineral Resource category and
341Kt at a grade of 7.7 g/t gold (85,000 oz contained gold) in the
Inferred Mineral Resource category . The America open pit hosts 114
Kt at a grade of 8.1 g/t gold (30,000 oz contained gold) in the
Indicated Mineral Resource category and 677Kt at a grade of 3.1 g/t
gold (67,000 oz contained gold) in the Inferred Mineral Resource
category. Following the permitting of the Mestiza and America open
pits, together with the La India open pit Condor has 1.12M oz gold
open pit Mineral Resources permitted for extraction, inclusive of a
Mineral Reserve of 6.9Mt at 3.0g/t gold for 675,000 oz gold.
