CONDOR GOLD PLC ANNOUNCES ITS UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER, 2019
Condor Gold PLC has published its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ending Sept. 30, 2019, and the management's discussion and analysis for the same period.
Both of the above have been posted on the company's website and are also available on SEDAR.
Highlights for the third quarter of 2019
In July, the company raised 4,038,504 pounds sterling by way of a private placement of new ordinary shares. The principal use of proceeds is to meet conditions of the environmental permit to construct and operate a mine for La India open pit. Proceeds are being used to buy land required for the mine site infrastructure, complete engineering studies ahead of a construction decision and complete 18 technical studies required for environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs) for two high-grade satellite feeder pits.
Significant advancement with 18 technical studies required for ESIAs for two high-grade satellite feeder pits
Nicaragua Milling Company Ltd. became a new 10.4-per-cent shareholder in the company. Randy Martin, the majority owner, has built three gold mines in Nicaragua, which are currently in operation.
Approximately 300 hectares of land has been purchased at the La India project on and surrounding the mine site infrastructure.
Government of Nicaragua granted Condor Gold the 132.1-square-kilometre Los Cerritos exploration and exploitation concession, which expands the La India project concession area by 29 per cent to a total of 587.7 square km.
Postperiod highlights
The engineering studies for the tailings storage facility and water management system for the mine have been awarded to Tierra Group Inc., based in Denver, United States.
The ESIAs required for the application for the environmental permits to extract gold from two high-grade satellite feeder pits are almost completed.
Mark Child, chairman and chief executive officer of Condor Gold, commented:
"During Q3 2019, Condor Gold continued to make solid progress by derisking the La India project ahead of a construction decision. Offers have been made to all landowners to purchase the freehold land within the area of the mine site infrastructure. The majority of the technical and engineering studies required prior to construction by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA) have been initiated. The engineering studies for the tailings storage facility and water management system for the mine have been awarded to Tierra Group Inc., based in Denver, USA. The mine and waste dump schedules have been completed, while the sewage and water system designs for the office and accommodation blocks at the mine have been approved.
"The company will submit two environmental and social impact assessments to MARENA within the near future, which apply for environmental permits to extract gold from the high-grade Mestiza and America satellite feeder pits. These have the potential to increase annual production from open-pit material by 50 per cent to 120,000 ounces gold per annum for a seven-year life of mine, as compared to the PFS study, and will result in over one million ounces gold being permitted for extraction."
