HALIFAX, Nov. 10, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - GoGold Resources Ltd. (TSX: GGD), (GoGold), is pleased to provide an update on the commissioning of its Parral Tailings Project in Mexico. The initial construction is complete with total costs of approximately $32.5 million which favorably compares to the $35 million in the pre-feasibility study (PFS). Commissioning of the main plant began in June 2014 and production rates have consistently increased during the commissioning period. Key performance indicators at the mine during the quarter are as follows:

As anticipated in the PFS, the commissioning phase is expected to take six months with Commercial Production projected to be declared by the end of calendar 2014. As noted in Table 1 above, the key metrics have continued to improve in accordance with the PFS. In August and September 2014, the Parral Project generated free operating cash flow and should increase over the next quarter. Cash costs are significantly lower than the PFS as indicated in the chart and as guided by the Company in the press release dated September 9, 2014. Although commissioning has been carried out during one of the most severe rainy seasons in recent history, recovery rates are in line with expectations.
