GoGold Resources Inc. Reports 504,444 Silver Equivalent Ounce Quarterly Production at Parral
HALIFAX, July 14, 2020 - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to report production for the quarter ending June 30, 2020 of 504,444 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 270,044 silver ounces, 1,914 gold ounces, and 104 tonnes of copper. Production in the quarter was only reduced by 16% compared to the previous quarter, despite being impacted by a partial shutdown of Parral due to COVID-19. While leaching of material on the heap leach continued throughout the quarter, stacking of fresh material was reduced, but has since returned to pre-shutdown stacking rates, with monthly production now approaching pre-COVID levels.
"In spite of the COVID-19 related shutdown at Parral for part of the quarter, we were able to achieve an exceptional result. With the increase in realized silver price for the quarter of approximately $1.50 per ounce, there was minimal economic impact at Parral," said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "We expect to see similar site cash flows as the previous quarter."
