will be paid on January 17, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2021.
Production Update
GCM Mining also announced today that it produced 17,799 ounces of gold and 24,593 ounces of silver at Segovia in the month

GCM Mining processed 45,030 tonnes in November 2021 at its Maria Dama plant, representing a daily processing rate of
1,501 tonnes per day (“tpd”), and head grades averaged 13.7 g/t in the month. This brings the daily processing rate for the first
eleven months of 2021 to an average of 1,518 tpd with an average head grade of 12.9 g/t compared with 1,276 tpd at an
average head grade of 14.5 g/t in the first eleven months of 2020.

remains on track to produce between 203,000 and 210,000 ounces of gold in 2021 from its Segovia Operations.
Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) Update
GCM Mining provided an update today on its purchases of its common shares pursuant to its current NCIB which commenced
in October 2021. During the period from December 6, 2021 through December 10, 2021, the Company purchased a total of
286,301 common shares at an average price of CA$5.20 per share with the total cost amounting to approximately CA$1.5
million. After the cancellation of these shares, the Company currently has a total of 98,241,274 common shares issued and
outstanding.
The NCIB allows the Company to purchase for cancellation up to a total of 9,570,540 common shares of the Company over the
12-month term that will end on October 19, 2022, or such earlier date on which the maximum purchases under the NCIB have
been completed. Purchases of common shares under the NCIB are being made through the facilities of the TSX or other
alternative Canadian trading systems at the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition.
The Board of Directors and senior management of GCM Mining continue to believe that its common shares may from time to
time trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect the value of the Company’s common shares in relation to its
activities and future prospects. Accordingly, GCM Mining will continue to use its discretion to repurchase its common shares
for cancellation under the NCIB.
