• Completion of 3,370 m of diamond core infill drilling and replacement of RC drilling within and around the La India Starter Pits, which are within the fully permitted La India Open Pit.
• Infill drilling was to 25 m by 25 m drill spacing. Highlight drill assay results:
  • 22.05 m (21.6 m true width) at 6.48 g/t gold from 24.75 m drill depth including 15.35 m (15.0 m true width) at 8.68 g/t gold from 24.75 m drilled depth (drill hole LIDC413).
  • 60.60 m (54.5 m true width) at 1.98 g/t gold from 4.15 m drill depth, including 5.75 m (5.2 m true width) at 16.88 g/t gold from 42.55 m drill depth in drill hole LIDC452 located between the two proposed starter pits.
  • 16.00 m (15.7 m true width) at 5.30 g/t gold from 18.35 m drill depth, including 5.90 m (5.8 m true width) at 12.35 g/t gold from 22.10 m drilled depth (drill hole LIDC416)
    
• Completed of 3,500 m exploration drilling and received all assay results at the Cacao Prospect. Highlights of the drilling are:
  
  • Cacao epithermal gold system is interpreted as being fully preserved, open along strike and to depth. The latest drilling is clipping the top of the system.
  • 10 metre plus true width mineralised zone including the Cacao vein has been confirmed for a strike length of approximately 1,000 m beneath and along strike of the existing Cacao mineral resource
  • 25.93 m (14.9 m true width) at 3.94 g/t Au from 263.82 m, including 4.58 m (2.6 m true width) at 7.76 g/t Au from 282.12m drill depth (drill hole CCDC033) below the Cacao mineral resource and open to depth and along strike in both directions.
• The first phase of infill drilling of 39 drill holes for 3,371.58 metres using diamond core drilling was completed on the Mestiza Open Pit and all assay results received. Highlights are:
  • 4.1 m true width at 15.23 g/t gold from 47.80 m (drill hole LIDC514) approximately 40 m below surface.
  • 3.6 m true width at 29.1 g/t gold from 105.70 m (drill hole LIDC471) approximately 85 m below surface
• On September 9, 2021 the Company provided the key findings of a technical report on its 100% owned La India Gold Project (the "Project") prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited ("SRK"). This technical report presents the results of a strategic mining study to Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") standards completed on the Project in 2021. The Highlight of the PEA:
  • Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 54% and a post-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of US$418 million, after deducting upfront capex, at a discount rate of 5% and gold price of US$1,700/oz.
  • Average annual production of ~150,000 oz of gold over the initial 9 years of production.

Post Period Highlights

• On October 19, 2021 the Company provided an update on the status of studies underway in support of a Feasibility Study ("FS") for its fully permitted La India Project, Nicaragua. The FS is being conducted on La India Open Pit and associated mine site infrastructure.
• On October 21, 2021 the Company announced the completion of an 8,004 m infill drilling programme on the fully permitted high-grade La Mestiza Open Pit Mineral Resource at La India Project, Nicaragua.
• On October 25, 2021 the Company announced the filing of a Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report ("PEA") for its La India Project, Nicaragua on SEDAR https://www.sedar.com.
• On October 28, 2021 the Company announce a placing of 11,714,286 Units at a price of 35p per Unit, including a Directors & CFO subscription of 2,972,144 Units, for aggregate gross proceeds of ?4,100,000 before expenses (the "Placing").

Mark Child, Chairman and Chief Executive of Condor Gold, commented:

"During the third quarter of 2021, Condor Gold continued on its journey of de-risking the La India Gold Project, advancing the Project to near shovel-ready status. Several significant step-out and in-fill exploration programs were either advanced or completed. Additionally, the Company provided the key findings of a technical report on the Project which summarizes the results of a strategic mining study to Preliminary Economic Assessment standards. This report reveals the exceptional potential of the Project under two scenarios, one open pit mining scenario incorporating four open pits and another scenario that layers in the underground resources beneath the open pits. Both scenarios provide robust economics with a payback period of approximately 12 months. The Highlight production scenario is 150,000 oz gold p.a. for 9 years with anIRR of 54% and a post-tax NPV of US$418 million, after deducting upfront capex, at a discount rate of 5% and gold price of US$1,700/oz. Subsequent to the the third quarter, Condor successfully completed a private placement raising ?4.1 million, providing the necessary capital to continue advancing the Project towards production."

About Condor Gold plc:

Condor Gold plc was admitted to AIM in May 2006 and dual listed on the TSX in January 2018. The Company is a gold exploration and development company with a focus on Nicaragua.

On 25 October 2021 Condor announced the filing of a Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report ("PEA") for its La India Project, Nicaragua on SEDAR https://www.sedar.com. The highlight of the technical study is a post-tax, post upfront capital expenditure NPV of US$418 million, with an IRR of 54% and 12 month pay-back period, assuming a US$1,700 per oz gold price, with average annual production of 150,000 oz gold per annum for the initial 9 years of gold production. The open pit mine schedules have been optimised from designed pits, bringing higher grade gold forward resulting in average annual production of 157,000 oz gold in the first 2 years from open pit material and underground mining funded out of cashflow.

In August 2018, the Company announced that the Ministry of the Environment in Nicaragua had granted the Environmental Permit ("EP") for the development, construction and operation of a processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 tonnes per day at its wholly-owned La India gold Project ("La India Project"). The EP is considered the master permit for mining operations in Nicaragua. Condor has purchased a new SAG Mill, which has mainly arrived in Nicaragua. Site clearance and preparation is at an advanced stage.

Environmental Permits were granted in April and May 2020 for the Mestiza and America open pits respectively, both located close to La India. The Mestiza open pit hosts 92 Kt at a grade of 12.1 g/t gold (36,000 oz contained gold) in the Indicated Mineral Resource category and 341 Kt at a grade of 7.7 g/t gold (85,000 oz contained gold) in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. The America open pit hosts 114 Kt at a grade of 8.1 g/t gold (30,000 oz) in the Indicated Mineral Resource category and 677 Kt at a grade of 3.1 g/t gold (67,000 oz) in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. Following the permitting of the Mestiza and America open pits, together with the La India Open Pit Condor has 1.12 M oz gold open pit Mineral Resources permitted for extraction.
