GoGold Resources Inc.
(TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF)
("GoGold", "the Company")
announces the financial results for the quarter ending
June 30, 2023
, including net income of
$2.6 million
(all amounts are in
U.S. dollars) and Parral generating
$8.6 million
from the sale of 360,011 silver equivalent ounces.
"GoGold maintains a strong balance sheet with
$98.7 million USD
in cash which continues to allow us to advance our Los
Ricos projects in an expeditious manner. Our main focus at GoGold is our flagship assets at Los Ricos. With the upcoming
addition of our zinc circuit at Parral, which is in its tenth year of production, Parral is expected to remain a meaningful
contributor of cash flow over the next seven years of mine life. The savings and additional revenue which the zinc circuit will
provide should significantly reduce our all in sustaining cost at Parral," said
Brad Langille
, President and CEO. "We continue to
focus on completing the studies required for the upcoming updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic
assessment at Los Ricos South to be completed by end of summer."
Financial Highlights for the quarter ending

:
Cash of
$98.7 million USD
Net income of
$2.6 million
, including interest income of

Revenue of
$8.5 million
on the sale of 360,011 silver equivalent ounces at a realized price per ounce of
$21.39
per oz
Production of 375,112 silver equivalent ounces, consisting of 203,894 silver ounces, 1,512 gold ounces, and 135 copper
tonnes
Adjusted cash cost per silver equivalent ounce of
$15.24
Adjusted all in sustaining cost per silver equivalent ounce of
$20.85
Proposed SART Zinc Circuit
As originally reported on
July 12, 2023
, the Company has begun the process of adding a zinc circuit to the existing SART plant
at Parral. Bench scale and in-field heap leach testing has demonstrated that an addition of a zinc circuit to the SART plant
should produce a saleable zinc product and more importantly regenerate cyanide that is expected to increase cash flow at
Parral over the next seven years of mine life.
Summary of Zinc circuit effects:
Saleable zinc precipitate to be added to the revenue stream
Regeneration of approximately 750 tons of cyanide per quarter
Anticipated to generate net increased cash flows of
$1.5 million
per quarter
Zinc circuit capital expenditure estimated at
$2 million
over 6 month construction period
Project payback expected within 6 months after construction
Construction of zinc circuit is independent of current SART operations, therefore no interruption to current operations is
expected
Parral up to end of its mine life will be a producer of silver, gold, copper and zinc

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within
the United States
or
to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in compliance with the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.

This news release may contain "forward-looking information" as defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation. All
statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding
the Parral tailings project, the Los Ricos project, future operating margins, future production and processing, and future plans
and objectives of GoGold, constitute forward looking information that involve various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
information is based on a number of factors and assumptions which have been used to develop such information but which
may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions in connection with the continuance of GoGold and its
subsidiaries as a going concern, general economic and market conditions, mineral prices, the accuracy of mineral resource
estimates, and the performance of the Parral project There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be
accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from GoGold's expectations include exploration and
development risks associated with the GoGold's projects, the failure to establish estimated mineral resources or mineral
reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of recovery rates, the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and global
economic conditions. For additional information with respect to risk factors applicable to GoGold, reference should be made to

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and
additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and
additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable
to similar measures presented by other companies.
Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive
income include "Operating income (loss)". These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company's mine and
operating performance. Per ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total
costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. "Adjusted cash costs per ounce" and "Adjusted all-in sustaining costs per
ounce" are used in this analysis and are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross
margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP
terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some
variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining
companies. In this context, "Adjusted cash costs per ounce" reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and
dore inventory associated with ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. "Adjusted cash costs per ounce" may vary from
one period to another due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the period.
"Adjusted all-in sustaining costs per ounce" include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based
compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the
Management Discussion and Analysis dated
August 8, 2023
for the three months ended
June 30, 2023
, as presented on
SEDAR.
