HALIFAX, July 13, 2015 /CNW/ -GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold") is pleased to announce its first full quarter of commercial production at the Parral heap leach facility in Chihuahua, Mexico. The key performance indicators at the mine have consistently improved during the commissioning process.

Production for the quarter was 408,024 silver equivalent ounces which represents a 29% increase over the previous quarter. Tonnes stacked on the heap leach pad and Merrill Crowe throughput were both consistently at design levels throughout the quarter. Quarterly production has improved each quarter since commissioning began and this is expected to continue until the heap leach pad reaches equilibrium.

Cash cost per ounce of silver averaged $4.29 (net of gold credits) and $5.54 per silver equivalent ounce during the quarter. The company expects that Parral will continue to be one of the lowest cost silver producers in Mexico. 

The recovery rates on the heap leach pad are on track to achieve those set out in the prefeasibility study.  The first cell on the pad has now recovered over 100% of the expected metal and continues to deliver ounces every day.  The recovery rates for all other cells are similar to what has been experienced on the first cell.  The recovery curve is taking longer than originally predicted in the pre-feasibility study but the actual recovery rates are expected to meet or exceed those in the study.

The following table outlines the key performance indicators during the last quarter.
