CONDOR GOLD PLC - INTERIM REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Condor Gold PLC has released its unaudited interim financial report together with management's discussion and analysis for the three- and six-month periods to June 30, 2018. Both the results and the MD&A have been posted on the company's website and are also available on SEDAR.

Highlights for six months to June 30, 2018:

  • Successful secondary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange;
  • Amendment of environmental and social impact assessment involving a redesigned mine infrastructure to avoid resettlement was submitted to the Nicaraguan Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA) in application for the environmental permit to construct and operate a 2,800-tonne-per-day processing plant with capacity to produce 100,000 ounces of gold per annum;
  • Final site visit inspection completed by the Inter-Institutional Committee, which comprises three ministries and representatives from the local mayors' offices;
  • Additional technical studies completed and submitted to MARENA following the site visit inspection;
  • 2.5 million British pounds raised through a private placement;
  • Positive rock chip assay results and detailed geological mapping progress the plan to define a major gold district around La India project;
  • Appointment of Andrew Cheatle as a non-executive director based in Canada with 30 years industry experience, strengthens the board.

Postperiod highlights

MARENA completed a positive review of the ESIA, including amendments, and formally notified the company to proceed to a public consultation on July 13, 2018. The turnout was high; a total of 499 people registered and attended the public consultation at which the technical, environment and social aspects of a new mine were presented and discussed in a transparent manner. During presentations of the project to community groups and house-to-house visits, the company received over 600 expressions of interest in/applications for new jobs.

On Aug. 6, 2018, the company announced that MARENA had granted the company the key environmental permit for the development, construction and operation of a processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 t/d. Gold production is expected to be approximately 80,000 ounce gold per annum from a single open pit, with the La India project representing a $120-million (U.S.) investment and creating an estimated 1,000 new jobs.

Mark Child, chairman and chief executive of Condor Gold, commented:

"This has been a very encouraging first half-year period for the company. A redesigned mine site infrastructure to avoid community resettlement and amended ESIA were submitted to MARENA in January, 2018. We subsequently held several encouraging meetings with key ministries. A final site visit inspection was completed in March, 2018, by the Inter-Institutional Committee, which is comprised of three ministries and representatives from the local mayors' offices. Further technical studies were subsequently submitted to MARENA. MARENA then completed a positive review of the ESIA, including amendments, and formally notified the company to proceed to a public consultation on July 13, 2018.

"On Aug. 6, 2018, the company announced that MARENA had granted the company the key environmental permit for the development, construction and operation of a processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 t/d. Gold production is expected to be approximately 80,000 oz gold per annum from a single open pit, with the La India project representing a $120-million (U.S.) investment and creating approximately 1,000 new jobs."
