VANCOUVER, BC, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX: GPR) (NYSE-A: GPL) ("Great Panther" or the "Company"), a growth-oriented precious metals producer focused on the Americas, reports Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates (the "2021 MRMR") for the Tucano Gold Mine ("Tucano") in Brazil. The estimates were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
The 2021 MRMR has an effective date of July 31, 2021. The 2021 MRMR reflects results of an additional 58,837 metres of drilling up to the end of July 2021, an increased gold price of $1,650/oz for reserves and $1,900/oz for resources, and an exchange rate of BRL 5: USD 1. The 2021 MRMR is focused on the open pit ore zones and reflects changes to the open pit reserves and resources, while the underground will be updated in a future Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimate on completion of engineering studies currently underway. The Company will file a technical report in respect of Tucano, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, on SEDAR within 45 days of this news release.
Highlights
Great Panther Chair and Interim CEO, Alan Hair commented: "We have successfully replaced 2021 mining depletion and added another 1.5 years to the open pit mine life at Tucano. The 2021 MRMR provides us with a higher level of confidence for future mine and operational planning and we are confident that, in parallel, we can unlock the larger potential of the region.
"Going forward, a major objective is to progress the Urucum North underground project, with development scheduled for Q4 2022, while aggressively advancing opportunities for additional resource growth and mine life extension on multiple fronts. In the second half of the year, we will be actively drilling to increase resources within the mine sequence and on near mine (20-kilometre radius) priority targets in the extensive and under-explored regional land package."

Notes: |
1. Mineral Reserves were classified using CIM Definition Standards (2014). |
2. Open pit Mineral Reserves are estimated within designed pits above marginal cut-off grades that vary from 0.40 g/t Au to 0.45 g/t Au for oxide ore and 0.46 g/t Au to 0.50 g/t Au for sulphide ore. |
3. Underground Mineral Reserves were estimated using a cut-off grade of 2.4 g/t Au. |
4. Mineral Reserves are estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,650/oz and a BRL:USD exchange rate of R$5.00:US$1.00. |
5. Mineral Reserves incorporate estimates of dilution and mineral losses. |
6. A minimum mining width of 15 m was used for open pit Mineral Reserves and 3 m was used for underground Mineral Reserves. |
7. Average metallurgical process recovery: 91.5%. |
8. Numbers may not add due to rounding. |
