Condor Gold Plc Announces Its Unaudited Results For The Three Months Ended 31 March, 2020

12.05.2020  |  Accesswire

LONDON, May 12, 2020 - Condor Gold (AIM:CNR)(TSX:COG) announces that it has today published its unaudited financial results for the three months ending 31 March, 2020 and the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the same period.

Both of the above have been posted on the Company's website www.condorgold.com and are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .

Highlights for the first quarter of 2020

  • On January 10, 2020, the Company announced the appointment of SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP as broker to the Company.
  • The Company provided an update on January 28, 2020 on permitting for the La India Project. This included an extension granted until 27 July 2021 to complete the conditions of the key La India Environmental Permit.
  • On February 28, 2020, the Company held Public Consultations in the local community as part of the environmental permitting process for the development and extraction of gold from the Mestiza and America open pits.
  • On March 4, 2020, the Company announced a high-grade mini-open pit mining scenario of total diluted mill feed of 1,637Kt at a 4.65g/t gold diluted head grade containing 245,000 oz gold while leaving the bulk of the La India open pit intact.
  • On March 17, 2020, the Company announced that it had issued 500,000 new, Ordinary shares in the Company further to the exercise of an equivalent number of warrants at a price of 31 pence per Warrant to raise £155,000.

Post Period Highlights

  • The award of the environmental permit for the Mestiza open pit was announced by the Company on April 29, 2020. The Mestiza open pit hosts 92Kt at a grade of 12.1g/t gold (36,000oz contained gold) in the Indicated resource category and 341Kt at a grade of 7.7g/t gold (85,000oz contained gold) in the Inferred resource category. The Mestiza open pit is situated less than 4 kilometres from the location of the permitted processing plant for the La India open pit.
  • The award of the environmental permit for the America open pit was announced by the Company on May 6, 2020. The America open pit hosts 114 thousand tonnes ("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. The America open pit compliments the already permitted La India and Mestiza open pits.

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.

Mark Child, Chairman and Chief Executive of Condor Gold, commented:

"During the 1st quarter 2020, Condor continued to de-risk La India Project and demonstrate a clear route to production. The Company has been working on the engineering and other technical studies required ahead of a construction decision and acquiring land for the mine site infrastructure. A high-grade mining dilution scenario study was completed, which supports a smaller, 1,000tpd processing plant capable of producing approximately 50,000 oz gold p.a. Total diluted mill feed is 1,637Kt at a 4.65g/t gold diluted head grade containing 245,000 oz gold. A smaller mill would significantly reduce the capex required to construct a processing plant and allow for a much larger plant at a later stage. The Company held two successful Public Consultations for two high grade feeder pits; permits have subsequently been granted, increasing the open pit material to 1.12M oz gold Mineral Resources permitted for extraction, inclusive of a Mineral Reserve of 6.9Mt at 3.0g/t gold for 675,000 oz gold. The objective is to commence site preparation in Q4 2020 and demonstrate a clear route to cashflow."

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.

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.
