Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Gran Colombia, stated, “On behalf
of the Board and Management of Gran Colombia, I am pleased to welcome
Mr. Eric Sprott as a major investor in our Company.
Our success in the turnaround of Gran Colombia has led to an increase
in gold production, earnings and free cash flow and has strengthened
the Company’s financial position.
In September, we were recognized in the inaugural TSX30 based on the
increase in our share price over the last three years.
We see the investment by Mr. Sprott, a well-known gold investor, as
solid endorsement of the potential for further appreciation i programs
at our high-grade Segovia Operations with approximately 70,000 meters
of drilling over the next 1n Gran Colombia’s shares.
We are about to ramp up our near-mine and regional exploration 8 months
and we are unlocking value in our Marmato Project through a spin out
to a separate-listed vehicle, in which we will maintain a control
position, to fund a major underground mine expansion.
We look forward to the relationship with Mr. Sprott as we continue to
execute our strategy.”
