Halifax, Nova Scotia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 25, 2026) – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) (“GoGold”, “the Company”) is pleased to announce the formal commencement of site construction at Los Ricos South in Jalisco, Mexico. This milestone follows the completion of a feasibility study in 2025 and the granting of the project permit from the Mexican Government in June of this year. This rapid progress was driven in part by the Company’s decision to initiate the detailed engineering and plant design phase in 2025. First silver and gold pour is scheduled for June 2028.
“We are fully financed with a robust cash position of US$284 million, strong cash flow from our operation at Parral, and zero debt as we begin construction at Los Ricos South,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “The decision to advance detailed engineering early has allowed us to get a meaningful head start on long-lead time equipment, which we expect will support an effective execution of the build and keep us on track for first gold pour in June 2028.”
The Company provides the following update on construction and engineering activities:
-
Underground mining contractor has been selected. Portal construction is scheduled for Q4 2026, with initial mine development to begin in January 2027.
