“Our Segovia Operations were recently acknowledged again as one of the top five highest-grade underground gold operations globally. Our 2020 drilling program in Segovia is continuing to provide us with outstanding results,” said Gran Colombia executive chairman Serafino Iacono.

“With the discovery of a third high-grade vein at depth in the El Silencio Mine, we remain confident that we will be able to expand mineral resources and add to the mine life for this operation.”

Despite restrictions resulting from the covid-19 pandemic, Gran Colombia reported that approximately 80% of the total in-mine and near-mine infill drilling program for 2020 was completed by the end of October and the remaining 20%, distributed amongst the three main mines, will be completed by early 2021.

Mineable reserves at Segovia sit at 1.9 million tonnes grading 11 grams per tonne of gold for 688,000 ounces, at cut-off grades ranging from 3.25 to 4.31g/t depending on the mining area and method, and a $1,275/oz gold price.

Measured and indicated resources at Segovia stand at 3.5Mt grading 11.8g/t for 1.3Moz using a 3g/t cut-off grade and $1,400/oz gold price.
