higher stacking rates and more fresh tailings coming under leach. Adjusted cash costs per silver

7% from the second quarter 2017.

value adjustment of

during fiscal 2018. Shareholders equity has also improved
by
$39.4 million
to

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 release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to
buy of any of GoGold's securities in
the United States
.
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, 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 GoGold's projects, the failure to establish
estimated mineral resources or mineral reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of
recovery rates, and global economic conditions. For additional information with respect to risk
factors applicable to GoGold, reference should be made to GoGold's continuous disclosure
materials filed from time to time with securities regulators, including, but not limited to, GoGold's
Annual Information Form. The forward-looking information contained in this release is made as of the
date of this release.
Cautionary non-IFRS Measures and Additional IFRS Measures
The Company believes that investors use certain non-IFRS and additional IFRS 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
IFRS. Non-IFRS and additional IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed
under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies.
Additional IFRS 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. "Cash flow from operating
activities before changes in non-cash working capital" is a non-IFRS performance measure that
could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is
calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to "Net cash used in operating
activities" as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Per ounce
measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the
ounces of metal sold in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" and "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" as
used in this analysis are non-IFRS 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-IFRS 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, "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. "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. "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-IFRS and IFRS measures, please refer to the Management Discussion
and Analysis dated
August 10, 2018
for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2018
, as
presented on SEDAR.
