CONDOR GOLD ANNOUNCES THE SALE OF THE POTRERILLOS CONCESSION IN NICARAGUA

Condor SA, Condor Gold PLC's wholly owned subsidiary in Nicaragua, is selling the non-core Potrerillos exploration and exploitation concession to Nicoz Resources SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mako Mining Corp., for a gross cash consideration of $600,000 (U.S.).

The Potrerillos concession comprises 12 square kilometres of subsurface mineral rights and is located in Nuevo Segovia in the north of Nicaragua, adjacent to and along strike from Mako's San Albino gold project and which includes the former San Albino mine. The Potrerillos concession was explored by Condor between 2007 and 2009, with a number of channel samples taken on trenches and former mine adits.

The company's continuing focus is on the La India project, which has an environmental permit for the development, construction and operation of a processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 tonnes per day with capacity to produce approximately 100,000 ounces gold per annum from an open-pit mineral reserve of 6.9 million tonnes at 3.0 grams per tonne gold for 675,000 oz gold. La India project contains a mineral resource of 9.85 million t at 3.6 g/t gold for 1.14 million oz gold in the indicated category and 8,479,000 t at 4.3 g/t gold for 1,179,000 oz gold in the inferred category. The net sale proceeds will be used for working capital purposes on La India project.
