Gran Colombia Gold Resumes Normal Operations in Segovia -
September 29, 2016 TORONTO, ON --(Marketwired -

Gran Colombia Gold Corp. -
(the "Company") (TSX: GCM)(OTC PINK: TPRFF) announced today
that the civil situation in Segovia and Remedios in the
Department of Antioquia, Colombia, has come to a peaceful conclusion
following extensive discussions between representatives of
the national and regional governments, the Company and
the local mining collective that instigated the civil strike
last week which impeded the Company's workers from safely
reporting to work.


To resolve the situation, the parties agreed to create a Mesa
Institucional, a roundtable with representatives from all parties,
to analyze and propose solutions to improve social and economic
matters in Segovia and Remedios.

In addition, the Company will continue its negotiations with each
of the illegal mines located within the Company's mining title
at its Segovia Operations to enter into contractual relations
similar to those it has with 41 other mining cooperatives working
within its mining title.

The first set of negotiations, supported by USAID and/or
the government of Antioquia acting as moderator,
will commence in the second week of October with
representatives of the Cogote mine.

Commenting on the news, Lombardo Paredes,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company said
"we are pleased to see this civil unrest come to an end.
We appreciate the support we have received from the various
levels of government and from our employees who remained
at the mine site during the past 10 days to provide
essential support in our mines, the plant and the camp
to enable us to return to normal operations today.

We believe that our contract mining model, under which more
than 2,500 miners in Segovia and Remedios are currently working
with the Company, is fully aligned with the requirements of
the mining regulations in Colombia, including health and safety,
environmental management, tax and royalty obligations, and
is beneficial to the historical mining communities
in which we operate."


The impact of this disruption on Company's production in September
is still being fully assessed but is not expected have a significant
effect on the Company's total production for the year.
