Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX: GCM, OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today
that it produced a total 19,120 ounces of gold in September bringing
the total for the third quarter of 2018 to 57,163 ounces,

For the first nine months of 2018, total gold production amounted to
162,741 ounces, up 33% over the first nine months of 2017.
This brings the Company’s trailing 12-months’ total gold production as
of September 2018 to 214,439 ounces, up 23% from 2017’s annual
production of 173,821 ounces.
The Company continues to expect that it will produce between 210,000
and 220,000 ounces in 2018.
Serafino Iacono, Executive Co-Chairman of Gran Colombia, commented,
“This was not only our fourth consecutive quarter with
over 50,000 ounces of total gold production for the Company, it was our
first quarter producing over 50,000 ounces of gold at Segovia alone.
We continue to be encouraged by the execution of the development and
modernization programs within our high-grade Segovia Operations which
are fuelling our production and EBITDA growth.”
At the Segovia Operations, gold production in September amounted to
17,140 ounces, bringing the total for the third quarter of 2018
to 50,968 ounces and for the first nine months of 2018 to
144,241 ounces, up 40% compared to the first nine months of 2017 which
included the adverse impact of the civil disruption on operations in
August last year.
The Company has processed an average of 994 tonnes per day (“tpd”) in
the first nine months of 2018 with an overall average head grade of
17.1 g/t, continuing to benefit from growth in production in 2018
from its high-grade Providencia mine.
This brings Segovia’s trailing 12-months’ total gold production as of
September 2018 to 189,828 ounces, up 28% from 2017.
The Company continues to expect that the Segovia Operations' will
produce between 185,000 and 195,000 ounces of gold in 2018.
The Company’s Marmato mine produced 1,980 ounces of gold in September,
bringing the total for the third quarter of 2018 to 6,465 ounces and
for the first nine months of 2018 to 18,500 ounces, about 3% lower
than the first nine months of 2017.
This brings Marmato’s trailing 12-months’ total gold production as of
September 2018 to 24,611 ounces, about 2% below 2017’s annual
production and within the Company’s expectation for 2018 of between
24,000 and 26,000 ounces.
The Company will be releasing its financial results for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2018 on or about November 13, 2018.
