HALIFAX, NS, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to report production for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 of 375,745 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 138,657 silver ounces, 2,184 gold ounces, 93 tonnes of copper, and 92 tonnes of zinc. With the SART Zinc circuit commissioning completed, this marks the first quarter where Parral produced a saleable zinc product.
"Now that the SART Zinc circuit's commissioning has been completed and is operational, we are seeing an increase in the leaching of gold and silver, in addition to the production of a saleable zinc and copper product. We anticipate further increases in silver and gold production over the coming months as the extraction of zinc and copper from the heap leach solution improves the precious metal leachability in the heap," Brad Langille, President and CEO stated. "At Los Ricos South, we continue to advance our definitive feasibility study, which we are anticipating completion this summer. With the gains realized from the SART plant at Parral, along with the significant metal price increase, Parral, as planned, is becoming a contributor to the future funding of the Los Ricos South project."
