TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2022 - Golconda Gold Ltd., formerly Galane Gold Ltd. ("Golconda Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GG; OTCQB: GGGOF) is pleased to announce the release of its financial results for the three ("Q3 2022") and nine months ("YTD 2022") ended September 30, 2022.

• New offtake agreement signed with Ocean Partners UK Limited ("Ocean Partners") providing for a higher payable percentage of gold content in its concentrate from the Galaxy operation ("Galaxy"), and an unsecured $3 million revolving credit facility (the "New Facility").
• YTD 2022 Galaxy produced 7,972 ounces of gold (YTD 2021 - 5,880 ounces of gold).
• YTD 2022 6,246 payable ounces of gold sold at an operating cash cost before royalties of $1,298 per payable ounce⁽¹⁾.
• YTD 2022 cash inflows from operating activities of $1.0 million (YTD 2021 - $0.2 million operating cash inflow).
• YTD 2022 $2.4 million of debt repaid (YTD 2021 - $2.4 million of debt repaid).
  

Golconda Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented: "The quarter has represented one of consolidation as we look to continue to build on the massive opportunity Galaxy represents. We have partnered with a new off-taker, Ocean Partners, who has provided the New Facility and a higher payable for our gold in concentrate. We have fully repaid the secured loan facility with Barak Fund SPC Limited and are actively looking for new lenders to continue the expansion at Galaxy. As previously mentioned, the current ramp up has been hindered by the slow expansion of the underground mining fleet. We have worked hard through the quarter to address this issue and as of today, we believe we now have a fleet capable of pushing production forward. From this consolidated base, we now have an opportunity to significantly increase production and reduce costs."⁽²⁾
