HALIFAX

Oct. 12

2017 /CNW/ -

GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) ("GoGold", "the Company")

announces production for the

quarter ended

September 30, 2017

of 353,370 silver equivalent ounces at the Parral project, a 125% increase over the same quarter the previous

year and a 12% increase over the prior quarter. The quarter ended

September 30

is traditionally the rainy season in

Mexico

which can negatively

impact production. With the changes that have been made to the operating procedures the production was not negatively impacted and increased

125% over the previous year rainy season quarter. Production at Parral continues to improve with the quarter ended

September 30, 2017

being

the fourth consecutive quarter of production growth.

Over the past year the Company has focused on improving recovery times and has made several changes. These changes include:

reducing the stacking height from a single 10 meter high lift to multiple 4-5 meter high lifts;

increasing the amount of cement being added to the agglomerated material to strengthen it and improve stability and penetration of the

cyanide enriched solution;

increasing the cyanide strength for the first 60 days of irrigation;

increasing the capacity of the Merrill Crowe; and

increasing the curing period of agglomeration from a few days to two weeks prior to irrigation.

"The changes made at Parral in late 2016 and the first half of 2017 have now taken effect and we expect to see continued increases in production

through fiscal 2018" said

Brad Langille

, CEO.

The above changes have made a significant improvement in the recovery times for the material stacked.

The heap leach pad is divided into 15 pads (or cells) which permit the measurement of recovered metal from each pad which allows us to track

recovery rates for each specific area. The above graph shows the significant improvement in the recovery times for the more recent pads since the

above referenced changes were made compared to an average of the older pads. The Company began stacking at 4-5 meter high lifts with pad 11

and continued with pads 12, 13, and 14. The final adjustment for pad 15 was allowing for a two-week cure time which had a positive impact on

the recovery times. The older pads continue to recover metal daily and the Company has begun reworking material on pads 9 and 10 where the

agglomeration did not meet our quality standards. The Company expects that the total recovery rates in the prefeasibility study are achievable as

we did achieve full expected recovery on the oldest pad for both gold and silver.

Over the past 6 months there has been a focus on producing quality agglomerated material which resulted in an average of 3,150 tons per day

stacked. Now that the recovery times have improved the Company is focusing on increasing the quality tons stacked and cost control to drive

profitability and production growth going forward.
