GRAN COLOMBIA REPORTS FEBRUARY 2020 GOLD PRODUCTION; ANNOUNCES DETAILS FOR THE FORTHCOMING FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END 2019 R...
12 Marzo 2020 - 3:14PM
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX: GCM; OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today
that gold production from the Segovia and Marmato Operations
totalled 18,674 ounces in February, bringing the total for the
first two months of 2020 to 37,175 ounces.
Lombardo Paredes, Chief Executive Officer of
Gran Colombia, commenting on the Company’s latest production
results, said, “Our mines are continuing to perform as expected and
we remain on track with our production guidance for 2020. Segovia’s
production matched the previous month even though February is a
couple of days shorter and the plant was shut down for 52 hours for
scheduled maintenance. With the replacement of two aging crushers
in March, Segovia is expected to see an increase in daily
processing rates. At Marmato, the mine optimization and mine design
for the transition zone levels 21 and 22 as well as the operational
adjustments and incorporation of new mining equipment are all in
process. These actions are expected to lead to improvements in
Marmato’s head grade and monthly gold production in the coming
months.”
The Segovia Operations produced 16,548 ounces of
gold in February, bringing the total production for the first two
months of 2020 to 33,413 ounces. Segovia produced a total of 35,416
ounces in the first two months last year benefitting from material
sourced from some very high grade stopes at the Providencia mine.
Gran Colombia processed an average of 1,269 tonnes per day (“tpd”)
in February at its Segovia Operations with an average head grade of
15.5 g/t, up from 14.5 g/t last month. The high grade material from
Providencia had boosted Segovia’s head grade in February 2019 to
21.4 g/t while Segovia’s average head grade for all of 2019 was
16.4 g/t. The Company expects that its annual gold production at
Segovia for 2020 will range between 200,000 and 220,000 ounces with
head grades expected to average approximately 14 g/t (+/- 5%) over
the course of the year as it opens additional new areas within its
existing three mines and commences production from its Carla mine
late in the third quarter of 2020.
At the Marmato Operations, now owned by Caldas
Gold Corp. (TSX-V: CGC), the plant processed an average of 1,133
tpd at an average grade of 2.3 g/t resulting in gold production of
2,126 ounces in February. With total gold production for the first
two months of 2020 of 3,762 ounces, the Marmato Operations remain
on track to produce a total of between 32,000 and 37,000 ounces of
gold this year. Gran Colombia owns approximately 73% of Caldas
Gold.
