About Condor Gold plc:
Condor Gold plc was admitted to AIM in May 2006 and dual listed
on the TSX in January 2018. The Company is a gold exploration and
development company with a focus on Nicaragua.
The Company's principal asset is La India Project, Nicaragua,
which comprises of a large, highly prospective land package of 588
sq km comprising of 12 contiguous and adjacent concessions. The
Company has filed a feasibility study technical report dated 25
October 2022 and entitled "Condor Gold Technical Report on the La
India Gold Project, Nicaragua, 2022" (the "2022 FS") which is
available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and was
prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. The 2022
FS indicated that La India Project hosts a high grade Mineral
Resource Estimate ("MRE") of 9,672 kt at 3.5g/t gold for 1,088,000
oz gold in the indicated mineral resource category and 8,642 kt at
4.3 g/t gold for 1,190,000 oz gold in the inferred mineral resource
category. The open pit MRE is 8,693 kt at 3.2 g/t gold for 893,000
oz gold in the indicated mineral resource category and 3,026 kt at
3.0 g/t gold for 291,000 oz gold in the inferred mineral resource
category. Total underground MRE is 979 kt at 6.2 g/t gold for
194,000 oz gold in the indicated mineral resource category and
5,615 kt at 5.0 g/t gold for 898,000 oz gold in the inferred
mineral resource category.
The 2022 FS replaces the previously reported Preliminary
Economic Assessment ("PEA") as presented in the Technical Report
filed on SEDAR in October 2021 as the current technical report for
the La India project.
The 2021 PEA considered the expanded Project inclusive of the
exploitation of the Mineral Resources associated to the La India,
Mestiza, America and Central Breccia deposits. The strategic study
covers two scenarios: Scenario A, in which the mining is undertaken
from four open pits, termed La India, America, Mestiza and Central
Breccia Zone ("CBZ"), which targets a plant feed rate of 1.225
million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"); and Scenario B, where the mining
is extended to include three underground operations at La India,
America and Mestiza, in which the processing rate is increased to
1.4 Mtpa. The 2021 PEA Scenario B presented a post-tax, post
upfront capital expenditure NPV of US$418 million, with an IRR of
54% and 12 month pay-back period, assuming a US$1,700 per oz gold
price, with average annual production of 150,000 oz gold per annum
for the initial 9 years of gold production. The open pit mine
schedules were optimised from designed pits, bringing higher grade
gold forward resulting in average annual production of 157,000 oz
gold in the first 2 years from open pit material and underground
mining funded out of cashflow. The 2021 PEA Scenario A presented a
post-tax, post upfront capital expenditure NPV of US$302 million,
with an IRR of 58% and 12 month pay-back period, assuming a
US$1,700 per oz gold price, with average annual production of
approximately 120,000 oz gold per annum for the initial 6 years of
gold production. The Mineral Resource estimate and associated
Preliminary Economic Assessment contained in the 2021 PEA are
considered a historical estimate within the meaning of NI
43-101, a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify
such historical estimate as current, and the Company is not
treating the historical Mineral Resource estimate and associated
studies as current, and the reader is cautioned not to rely upon
this data as such. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves
do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company believes
that the historical Mineral Resource estimate and Preliminary
Economic assessment is relevant to the continuing development of
the La India Project.
In August 2018, the Company announced that the Ministry of the
Environment in Nicaragua had granted the Environmental Permit
("EP") for the development, construction and operation of a
processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 tonnes per
day at its wholly-owned La India gold Project ("La India Project").
The EP is considered the master permit for mining operations in
Nicaragua. Condor has purchased a new SAG Mill, which has mainly
arrived in Nicaragua. Site clearance and preparation is at an
advanced stage.
Environmental Permits were granted in April and May 2020 for the
Mestiza and America open pits respectively, both located close to
La India. The Mestiza open pit hosts 92 Kt at a grade of 12.1 g/t
gold (36,000 oz contained gold) in the Indicated Mineral Resource
category and 341 Kt at a grade of 7.7 g/t gold (85,000 oz contained
gold) in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. The America open
pit hosts 114 Kt at a grade of 8.1 g/t gold (30,000 oz) in the
Indicated Mineral Resource category and 677 Kt at a grade of 3.1
g/t gold (67,000 oz) in the Inferred Mineral Resource category.
Following the permitting of the Mestiza and America open pits,
together with the La India open pit Condor has 1.12 M oz gold open
pit Mineral Resources permitted for extraction.
