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 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 ability to satisfy
all conditions to funding of the second tranche under the credit agreement. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate and actual

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
May 9, 2017
, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2017
, as presented on SEDAR.
