HALIFAX, NS, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to report production for the year ending September 30, 2022 of 1,810,326 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 741,772 silver ounces, 10,708 gold ounces, and 469 tonnes of copper. Quarterly production at Parral was 400,467 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 145,944 silver ounces, 2,278 gold ounces, and 124 tonnes of copper.
The Company had $20M USD in input tax recoverable which related to VAT receivable from the Mexican Federal Government for the years of 2017 to 2022. The Company received $11M which related to 2017 and 2018 which included interest of $5M. Management continues to work with the tax authority on the remaining claims and expects to receive these amounts in due course.
"2022 represents our eighth year of continuous production at Parral, and we look forward to approximately seven more years of sustainable production as we strengthen our ESG programs through our tailings reprocessing and remediation in Mexico," said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "The Company was successful in collecting its VAT receivable of $6M USD plus interest of $5M USD for a total of $11M USD. The Company continues to maintain a very strong balance sheet and cash position enabling us to also execute on our exciting Los Ricos project."
In the month of August 2022, the Parral operation endured some of the most intense rainfalls seen at the project to date, which resulted in significant dilution to the pregnant solution. All rain and solution was properly contained, with no solution discharged into the environment. The diluted solution resulted in diminished production levels in the months of August and September, as the leaching kinetics were impacted by the rain event. Production appears to be trending upwards in the beginning of October.
