HALIFAX, Jan. 14, 2020 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to report record production for the quarter ending December 31, 2019 of 584,988 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 379,082 silver ounces and 2,407 gold ounces, a slight increase from the previous quarter and record of 580,711.
"Production at Parral has increased for 5 consecutive quarters, and we are now at a production level we aim to maintain for the rest of the year. Our production rate this quarter is 80% higher than where we were at this quarter last year." said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "Parral continues to perform, and we anticipate receiving benefits from the SART in the upcoming quarter which we expect will increase the profitability of the project going forward. In addition, Los Ricos continues to provide great results putting our shareholders in a favourable position with the strengthening precious metal prices."
SART Update
The newly installed SART plant has begun cold commissioning with motor testing, electrical checks, and going through final instrumentation installation and adjustments as part of final electrical completion. The SART plant is expected to bring important economic and technical benefits to the Parral facility. The main economic drivers are the recovery of a high-grade saleable copper sulfide product and the re-generation of cyanide, which is the largest single operating cost at Parral, and improve the leaching efficiency of the heap.
