Mark Child, chairman and chief executive of Condor Gold, commented:

"Condor currently has 1.12 million oz gold open-pit mineral resources permitted for extraction (8,583,000 t at 3.3 g/t gold for 903,000 oz gold in the indicated category and 1,901,000 t at 3.6 g/t gold for 220,000 oz gold in the inferred category) inclusive of a mineral reserve of 6.9 million t at 3.0 g/t gold for 675,000 oz gold following the grant in May, 2020, of environmental permits to extract gold from two high-grade satellite feeder pits, which in aggregate have circa 232,000 oz gold at 5.5 g/t gold. The company is targeting production of 120,000 oz gold per annum from open-pit material for seven years, which compares to the PFS of 79,300 oz gold per annum for the same period. The significant underground mineral resource of 1.2 million oz gold (1.27 million t at a grade of 5.8 g/t gold, for 238,000 oz gold in the indicated category and 5.47 million t at a grade of 5.1 g/t gold, for 889,000 oz gold in the inferred category) will be analyzed and potentially converted to mineral reserves after production from the open pits has started. Condor continues to derisk the project by fulfilling conditions of the environmental permit to construct and operate a new mine at La India by making significant progress with land acquisition, engineering and other technical studies. The objective remains to commence site preparation by end 2020."
