TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Cerrado Gold Inc. (TSXV:CERT)(OTCQX:CRDOF) ("Cerrado" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its news release of June 27, 2024, the Company has been advised by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") that trading of the Company's common shares on the Exchange will resume at the opening of the market on August 8, 2024.
Further, as previously released on July 17, 2024, the Company is pleased to announce that operations at its wholly-owned Minera Don Nicolas project in Argentina continue to perform well during a typically challenging winter period. As previously announced, production for Q2 was 16,255 Gold Equivalent Ounces ("GEO") as production from the heap leach continues to perform well. A second crusher has now arrived at site and will be installed to support a further expansion of capacity at the Calandrias Sur heap leach operation.
First half of 2024, production of 27,459 GEO has been achieved. The Company is guiding for 2024 total production of between 50,000-60,000 GEO at an All-In-Sustaining Cost between US$1,200-US$1,400/oz.
Improved operating performance and ongoing strength in gold prices continue to support the repayment of local debt and payables in Argentina, and we expect to see a material reduction in our negative working capital position going forward.
In addition, as outlined in a press release dated August 6th, 2024, Cerrado announced the results of an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for its Minera Don Nicolas mine located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
