Gran Colombia Gold(TSX:GCM) The highlights from the Interview with
Serafino Iacono, Chairman of gold producer (TPRFF)(TSX:GCM) -

Segovia - they operate 3 or 23 gold mines in a concession.
They own the mineral rights and the land
so they don't pay any Royalties.
Producing over 193,000 oz of gold per annum.
Marmato - they changed the design of the mine to an underground mine.
Producing 30,000oz of gold rising to 180,000oz.
A very clever group who have come up with innovate ways
(eg: issuing Bonds) to finance this company in
to a mid-tier gold producer.
Listen to the terms of the Bond and how quickly
they are paying back their debt.
Marmato coming online will take this company
to +400,000oz gold production.
Phenomenal team. growing at 15%-20% grows for the last 4 yrs and
that was before the recent hike in gold prices.
They are anti-dilutive.
Management hold a significant percentage 20-22%.
They have put a large amount of their own money in to this.

Genuinely one of the smartest, most nimble management teams
we have met.
You need to look at this gold producer seriously. We are.

Serafino discusses:
1) Their two assets: Segovia (193,000oz producer) and Marmato (30,000oz producer)
2) AISC down from $1,100 to $540
3) The Bond with Canada: investors get all of the $1,250 of Gold's upside
4) Finances: Cash, tight hold on shares, the balance sheet and repaying debt
5) 225,000oz to 400,000oz by the end of 2023

Gold’s trajectory over the long-term is several thousand dollars higher,
with an average target price of $12,500, and it only makes sense when
you look at the historical growth of the metal, this according to
Pierre Lassonde, chairman of Franco-Nevada.

Lassonde added that applying the annual average growth rate
from 1970, the long-term projection would be $25,000.

Gran Colombia to spin off Marmato gold project -

Canada’s Gran Colombia Gold (TSX:GCM) has decided to spin off its
Marmato project, in the country’s department of Caldas, into a separate
listed company to generate the funding required for ongoing
exploration, development of an underground mine and the expansion of
operations.

The Toronto-based miner, which will retain a major stake in the new
company, said expected work at the asset included the construction of a
new processing plant and additional tailings storage facilities to
support an increased level of production.

THE CANADIAN MINER WILL RETAIN A MAJOR STAKE IN THE NEW COMPANY WHILE
LEVERAGING THE CAPITAL MARKETS TO PROVIDE FURTHER FUNDING.

Gran Colombia is nearing completion of an underground mine expansion
study at Marmato, first announced in 2017 and expects to file a
preliminary economic assessment before the end of the year.

“Immediately thereafter, we will proceed with the prefeasibility study,”
executive chairman Serafino Iacono said in the statement.
“We are excited to be in a position to see a path forward to develop
this world class deposit and to begin to get a return on investment for
our shareholders.”

As part of the proposed mine plan, the company will look to optimize
mining activities in the upper existing mine,
which produces 24,000-to-26,000 ounces a year of gold.
It will also aim at increasing production and reducing cash costs.

Gran Colombia plans to concurrently begin development of
the Deeps mineralization underneath the current mine for a modern,
mechanized mining operation.

The company acquired Marmato, in the heart of the Middle Cauca gold
district, in 2011, through a merger with Medoro Resources.

The underground gold mine is expected to have a minimum 12-year
productive life, generating over 1.5 million ounces of the precious
metal during that time.

Rocky road
In the last decade, the project has been plagued by controversy.
Residents of the 500 year-old Marmato town, mostly opposed the miner’s
intention of flattening a mountain to create an open pit.
That is no longer an issue, as Gran Colombia has opted for underground
mining at Marmato.

The property has also been unlawfully occupied.
The first group of illegal miners took over the area in 2016, blocking
roads and costing Gran Colombia $2 million in daily losses.

In 2017, the miner filed a $700 million lawsuit against Colombia,
under the Colombian-Canadian free trade agreement, after
the government ordered the company to cease operations at
the El Burro site in Marmato, requesting further consultation with
locals.

The asset is located in a region that has been exploited since pre-
Colonial times by the Quimbaya people.
The Spanish colonists assumed control of the zone’s mines in 1527 and
the area has been in almost continuous production ever since.

Marmato’s known riches were key to support the cause of Simon Bolivar,
a revolutionary leader who liberated much of South America from
Spanish rule.
According to historians, Bolivar used the mines as collateral with
British banks to secure funding for a war of independence against
Spain.
