CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be,
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered or sold within the
United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as
defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in
compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to
exemptions therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any of GoGold's
securities in the United
States.
This news release may contain "forward-looking information" as
defined in applicable Canadian securities legislation. All
statements other than statements of historical fact, included in
this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding
the Parral tailings project, the Los Ricos project, future
operating margins, future production and processing, and future
plans and objectives of GoGold, constitute forward looking
information that involve various risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking information is based on a number of factors and
assumptions which have been used to develop such information but
which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to,
assumptions in connection with the continuance of GoGold and its
subsidiaries as a going concern, general economic and market
conditions, mineral prices, the accuracy of mineral resource
estimates, and the performance of the Parral project There can be
no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate and
actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such forward-looking information.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from GoGold's expectations include exploration and
development risks associated with the GoGold's projects, the
failure to establish estimated mineral resources or mineral
reserves, volatility of commodity prices, variations of recovery
rates, and global economic conditions. For additional information

be made to GoGold's continuous disclosure materials filed from time
to time with securities regulators, including, but not limited to,
GoGold's Annual Information Form. The forward-looking information
contained in this release is made as of the date of this
release.
Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP
Measures
Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The
Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional
GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are
intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP
measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS
and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented
by other companies.
Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the
Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income include
"Operating income (loss)". These measures are intended to provide
an indication of the Company's mine and operating performance. Per
ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and
processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in
the period. "Adjusted cash costs per ounce" and "Adjusted all-in
sustaining costs per ounce" are used in this analysis and are
non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the
level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these
costs from the unit price realized during the period. These
non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining
company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some
variation in the method of computation of these metrics as
determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In
this context, "Adjusted cash costs per ounce" reflects the cash
operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory
associated with ounces of silver and gold sold in the period.
"Adjusted cash costs per ounce" may vary from one period to another
due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and
silver/gold recovery rates in the period. "Adjusted all-in
sustaining costs per ounce" include total cash costs, exploration,
corporate and administrative, share based compensation and
sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP
measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis
dated May 7, 2024 for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, as
presented on SEDAR.
