Updated Mineral Resource Estimate of 8.4 Mozs Measured and
Indicated Gold Resource at 1.42 g/t and
396 Mlbs Measured and
Indicated Copper Resource at 0.1% in 185 million tonnes of rock
Preliminary Economic Assessment estimates:

280,000 ozs of gold production in the first year of operation in 2024;
5.4 Mozs of gold, 2.5 Mozs of silver and
141.3 Mlbs of copper produced over a 24-year mine life;

US$8.0 billion total revenue, US$3.5 billion operating margin and
US$1.7 billion after-tax Free Cash Flow at a US$1,500/oz gold price; and,

After-tax net present value (5%) of US$794 million
with an after-tax IRR of 46% and two-year payback.

Initial US$355 Million capex to construct the Toroparu Project

TORONTO, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

GCM Mining Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX: GCM, OTCQX: TPRFF) announced
today that it has completed an updated Mineral Resource estimate for
its Toroparu Project in Guyana with an effective date of November 1,
2021 and in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy
and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards incorporated by reference in
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI 43-101”). GCM Mining also announced today that Nordmin
Engineering Ltd. (“Nordmin”) and SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. (“SRK”)
have completed preliminary results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment
(“PEA”) for the Toroparu Project effective November 26, 2021 and is
currently finalizing the technical report to be prepared in accordance
with NI 43-101 and filed on SEDAR and the Company’s website in mid-
January 2022.

Highlights of the PEA for the Toroparu Project

The PEA affirms the economic viability of the open pit and underground
mining operations at the Toroparu Project.

Total life-of-mine (“LoM”) gold production of 5.4 million ounces
(“Mozs”) representing 88.4% of the 6.2 Mozs of gold fed to the milling
circuit at an average grade of 1.78 g/t Au over the 24-year mine life.

Open pit mine operations will deliver 93 Mt of potential mill feed
(“PMF”) over the LoM and underground mining operations, which commence
in year 10, will deliver an additional 14 Mt of PMF.

Average annual gold production of 225,000 ounces over the 24-year mine
life.

During the first two-year payback period, gold production averages
254,000 ounces per year and over the first 9 years of surface-only
mining, gold production averages 202,000 ounces per year. With the
commencement of underground mining in year 10, annual gold production
from open pit and underground increases to an average of
239,000 ounces over the remaining 15 years of the LoM.

Initial capital cost, to be incurred from 2021 through 2023,
totals US$355 million, of which US$138 million will be funded by
deposits under a Precious Metals Purchase Agreement (“PMPA”) with
Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“WPMI”) and
the balance by the net proceeds of the Senior Notes financing
closed in August of this year.

Processing capacity will be built in two phases with an initial
Phase I nominal capacity of 7,000 tpd (2.55 Mtpa) in a gold leach
plant based on gravity and carbon-in-leach circuits (“CIL”) and
increasing in year 6 to 14,000 tpd (5.1 Mtpa) in

Phase II with the construction of a copper concentrator based on
gravity and copper flotation circuits.

The copper concentrator will facilitate the recovery of
141.3 million pounds (“Mlbs”) of copper over its 19 years of operation.

The PEA delivers solid financial results with LoM total revenue of
US$8.0 billion,
US$3.5 billion of operating margin and
US$1.7 billion of after-tax Free Cash Flow.


The LoM PEA financial results are based on long-term prices of
US$1,500/oz gold, US$20.22/oz silver and
US$3.13/lb copper.

Gold and copper account for approximately 94% and
5.5%, respectively, of total revenue over the LoM.

LoM cash cost of US$742/oz and LoM all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of
US$916/oz.

The PEA estimates a US$794 million after-tax NPV 5% (net present value
at a 5% discount rate),
a 46% IRR (after-tax Internal Rate of Return) and
a two-year after-tax payback of the initial capital cost of the
Project.

Lombardo Paredes, Chief Executive Officer of GCM Mining, commented
“The PEA was initiated as a result of a significantly expanded Mineral
Resource developed from the discovery of the structural control of
high-grade gold mineralization at Toroparu as reported in our July 6,
2021 press release. Compared with Gold X Mining’s previous Mineral
Resource estimate (September 2018), total Measured and Indicated Gold
Resources have increased by
approximately 15% to 8.4 million ounces of gold and reflect an
increase in the average head grade from 0.91 g/t to 1.42 g/t in the
latest update.

The updated mineral resource estimate reported herein, which represents
a potential step change to the economic value of Toroparu, underlies
the scoping of a long mine life project within the PEA recovering
280,000 ounces of gold in the first year of operation in 2024 and
an estimated 225,000 ounces of gold per year from both surface and
underground mining operations over 24 years.

A total of 5.4 million ounces of gold is expected to be produced over
the LoM in the PEA, an approximately 20% increase from the previous
PEA prepared by Gold X Mining in July 2019.

We have already commenced pre-construction activities
at the Toroparu Project site.

We have hired Haukes Construction (Guyana) Ltd., a division of Haukes
NV of Suriname, for construction of the preliminary earthworks at
Toroparu, with development of the permanent man-camp, airstrip and
rock quarries currently underway.

Preparations are also being made for the rehabilitation of the
historical access road commencing early next year.

Based on the technical and financial merits demonstrated by the PEA and
funded by the US$300 million Senior Notes financing we closed in August
and the Wheaton stream, we are proceeding with construction of
the Toroparu Project, which is initially focused on the surface mining
of higher-grade gold processed through a 7,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”)
gold leach mill.

The PEA envisions an expansion of milling capacity to 14,000 tpd with
the addition of a copper concentrator in year 6 and
the addition of underground mining operations in year 10 of
the mine life.

Importantly, the Toroparu Deposit is open both along strike and at
depth with the additional mineralization potential below the 450 m
level amenable to underground mining methods.

We believe the Toroparu Project has the potential to be a multi-
generational gold mine which can create significant value for our
shareholders, solidifying its position along with our Segovia
Operations as a cornerstone asset in GCM Mining.”

Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) Update Effective November 1, 2021


The MRE, which is summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below, was prepared by
Nordmin following a two-phase diamond drill program carried out by
Gold X Mining in 2020-2021 which comprised a total of 20,750 meters in
114 drill holes.

The updated MRE includes an open pit and a maiden underground resource
estimate within the Toroparu Main & NW and SE deposits that are defined
by multiple discreet northwest and east-west oriented high grade
mineralized structures that intersect in a repeatable pattern over an
estimated four kilometers of strike, 400-450 m in width, and
450-500 m in depth.

The satellite deposits consist of the Southeast zone (SE) and
the Sona Hill satellite gold deposits.
