About 1/3 (ie 33.0%) of GCM's MktCap is covered by investments in its investments these three companies

Assuming The Segovia mine imho is worth $300 Million+ based on its strong production and cash flow, 

GCM can potentially sustain some reduction in the value of GLDX's assets. if that was to happen.

On the other hand a mine that eventually produces 10 Million oz, in the years to come, could add a lot of value to GCM.

The Toroparu Project’s latest Updated Mineral Resource Estimate Statement (UMRE), effective September 28, 2018, discloses a resource containing 7.35 M-oz gold at an average grade of 0.91 g/t and 128.95 M-ton Inferred Resource containing 3.15 M-oz gold at average grade of 0.76 g/t.

Update on Gold X Acquisition , worth almost US$200 Million

Gran Colombia is also pleased to announce that, earlier today, the shareholders of both the company and Gold X approved the proposed arrangement under which the company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gold X not already owned by the company in exchange for Gran Colombia common shares on the basis of 0.6948 of a Gran Colombia share for each Gold X share.

Over 99% of voters approved the issuance of 43.64 Million shares to acquire the GLDX shares not already owned by GCM.

43.64M x C$5.21 = C$ 227.5 Million / C$1.208=  US$188.3 Million

About Gold X Mining Corp.

Gold X Mining is a Canadian junior mining company developing the Toroparu gold project in Guyana, South America. Gold X has spent more than $150-million (U.S.) on the project to date to classify 7.35 million ounces of measured and indicated, and 3.15 million ounces of inferred gold resources, develop engineering studies for use in a feasibility study, and define a number of exploration targets around the Toroparu project on its 53,844-hectare (538-square-kilometre), 100-per-cent-owned Upper Puruni concession.

[drbubb]

One of the largest gold deposits in the Americas with 7.35 million ounces Measured & Indicated

At US$188M cost, Or $235M including GCM's stake, the GLDX Acquisition cost $32 per Gold Ounce

And adding the expected Capital Cost of $378m= $613M, or $83 per gold Oz. 

GLDX's TOROPARU PROJECT RE-SCOPING AND PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

---

The June 2019 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) assessed the economic results of a re-scoping of the Toroparu Project to include expansion of production from the addition of Sona Hill satellite deposit resources to the mine plan; the reduction in operating costs from self-generated hydro power available from Gold X’s Kurupung River Hydroelectric Project, and the reduction in initial capital contributions required to construct the mine due to the Precious Metals Purchase Agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals (see November 11, 2013 press release).

Highlights from the Assessment include:

• 7.353 million ounces of Measured & Indicated Gold Resource and 3.150 million ounces of Inferred Gold resource.
• 4.5 million ounces of Gold production (3.64 million ounces produced in Au doré bars) over 24‐year Mine Life, with:
  • 1.476 million ounces gold doré production over first 10 years
  • 2.148 million ounces gold doré and 876,000 oz gold in concentrate production over balance 14 years
• 187,500 ounces average gold production over 24-year mine life & 147,600 ounces per year of over first 10 years of production.
• $2.544 billion Cash Flow from Operations at $1,300/oz Gold Price
  • $1.25 Billion After‐Tax Free Cash Flow (net of $974 million life of mine capital cost estimate)
• $378 Million pre‐production capital expenditure estimate with
  • $272 Million pre‐production financing requirement (includes Wheaton PMPA deposits)
• $232 Million Phase 2 expansion financed from internal cash flow
• 2.92 years payback of initial capital expense

> All results can be found in the Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report effective June 11 2019

Toroparu Mine.. adds NPV to GCM shares: C$13.46 at $1900??

The Acquisition of GLDX alone could add enough to GCM's value to push the stock to C$13.46 at $1900, or C$14.20 at $2000.   It is deeply undervalued.  And now that the acquisition is done, they can promote it better.  And make steady progress towards permitting and building the mine.

My calculations are below

THE LASSONDE CURVE explains why GCM dropped. 

"When building a mine, a company may trade down to 30-50% of its NAV. 

The Low might come when they finish the feasibility study, and are getting the financing in place,  From the low, they price will rise soon long as they show progress in being on-time and on-budget".

GRAN COLOMBIA COMPLETES ARRANGEMENT WITH GOLD X FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW MID-TIER LATIN AMERICAN GOLD PRODUCER

Gran Colombia Gold Corp. has completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gold X Mining Corp. not already owned by Gran Colombia by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The arrangement became effective at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on June 4, 2021. As a result of the arrangement, Gold X became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Gran Colombia and Gran Colombia gained control of the Toroparu gold project located in Guyana, South America.

Serafino Iacono, executive chairman of Gran Colombia, commented: "With the closing of the Gold X acquisition today, we have created a new mid-tier Latin-American gold producer with a complementary asset portfolio including the world-class, free cash flow generating Segovia operations located in Colombia and the large, high-growth and substantially derisked Toroparu gold project in Guyana. On a combined basis (1) for Segovia and Toroparu, our measured and indicated gold resources now total 8,778,000 ounces (256.5 million tonnes grading 1.06 g/t Au) and we have another 4,359,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category (132.6 million t grading 1.02 g/t Au). Over the next couple of months, we will be refining our development options at Toroparu, including an update of the mineral resource estimate for the Toroparu project to incorporate the new geologic model and project optimization that includes the discovery of continuous high-grade gold-bearing structures extending for at least three kilometres in strike and at least 450 metres in depth as recently announced by Gold X. With approximately $6-million (U.S.) of cash in Gold X at closing of this acquisition, this next stage of project evaluation that will lead to an updated preliminary economic assessment for Toroparu is fully funded. We are very excited to begin this next chapter, creating value for our shareholders through our diversified growth platform centred on these two cornerstone assets and our equity positions in Aris Gold and Denarius."

Completion of the arrangement

Pursuant to the arrangement, each holder of Gold X shares is entitled to receive 0.6948 of a common share in the capital of Gran Colombia for each Gold X share held immediately prior to the effective time.

As of today, the company now has 98,287,088 common shares issued and outstanding and a total of approximately 132.1 million common shares on a fully diluted basis.

With Gold X now a wholly owned subsidiary of Gran Colombia, Gran Colombia intends to delist the Gold X shares from the TSX Venture Exchange as soon as practicable. Gran Colombia also intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to have Gold X cease to be a reporting issuer and terminate its public reporting obligations. Prior to the completion of the arrangement, Gran Colombia owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, 9,571,158 Gold X shares, representing approximately 15 per cent of the issued and outstanding Gold X shares prior to the completion of the arrangement.

About Gran Colombia Gold Corp.

Gran Colombia is a mid-tier gold producer with a proven record of mine building and operating in Latin America. In Colombia, the company is currently the largest underground gold and silver producer with several mines in operation at its high-grade Segovia operations. In Guyana, the company is advancing the Toroparu project, one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in the Americas. Gran Colombia also owns approximately 44 per cent of Aris Gold Corp., a Canadian mining company currently advancing a major expansion and modernization of its underground mining operations at its Marmato project in Colombia. Gran Colombia's project pipeline also includes an approximately 27-per-cent equity interest in Denarius Silver Corp. (Spain -- Lomero-Poyatos; Colombia -- Guia Antigua and Zancudo) and an approximately 26-per-cent equity interest in Western Atlas Resources Inc. (Nunavut -- Meadowbank).

Gran Colombia Gold Corp. has released results from the recently completed phase 2 diamond drill program at its 100-per-cent-owned Toroparu project in western Guyana. The 10,494 meters Phase 2 program was designed to confirm the continuity of both the northwest oriented high-grade gold structures and the cross cutting east-west high-grade structures that create a repeatable pattern of intersecting zones amenable to underground mining methods over the 4 kilometer strike length of the Toroparu Project1.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Gran Colombia, commented, "The discovery of the structural control of high-grade gold mineralization at Toroparu has reaffirmed our confidence in the potential value of this project as one of our cornerstone assets. The recently completed, two-phase diamond drill program comprised a total of 20,750 meters in 114 drill holes and has confirmed a 4-kilometer ("km") strike length of high-grade structurally controlled gold mineralization at Toroparu.

• The high-grade mineralized pipes, ranging in grade from approximately 5 g/t gold ("Au") to greater than 20 g/t Au over potentially mineable widths, are often surrounded by a lower grade (0.5 - 5.0 g/t Au) halo of mineralized material. (Figure 5).
• The high-grade gold grades intersected in structures range from 2.42 g/t Au to 101.7 g/t Au and have a length-weighted average grade of 6.7 g/t Au (uncut) over 113 m and 76 intervals highlighted in this release (Table 1).
• Since historical drilling has been limited to the upper 450 m of vertical extension of the deposit, this remains open at depth across the 4-km of strike length at depths that are relatively shallow for an underground mine. Results from the most northwest set of drill holes, which intersected multiple high-grade intervals indicate that the high-grade structural component of the deposit is still open along strike to the northwest.

DISCOVERY : two High Grade veins

Gran Colombia drills 0.56 m of 137.44 g/t Au at Segovia

2021-07-12 07:16 ET - News Release

Mr. Serafino Iacono reports

GRAN COLOMBIA GOLD ANNOUNCES THE DISCOVERY OF TWO ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE VEINS AT ITS EL SILENCIO MINE AT ITS SEGOVIA OPERATIONS

Gran Colombia Gold Corp. has released high-grade intercepts from the first 59 diamond drill holes totalling 10,229 metres of an infill drilling campaign that is being carried out by the company's mine geology department at the El Silencio mine at its Segovia operations. This 23,000-metre drilling campaign, which commenced in 2020 and will be completed this year, is focused on resource definition within the underground mine developments of the El Silencio mine and complements the previously announced 60,000-metre drilling program being carried out in 2021 by the company's exploration team. High-grade intercepts from two new veins recently discovered by this infill drilling campaign at the El Silencio mine provide and corroborate information of importance for the current and future development of different sectors of this flagship mine.

The best high-grade intercepts from these latest drill results at the El Silencio mine include:

• 1040 vein, new discovery: 137.44 grams per tonne gold and 10.1 g/t silver over 0.56 metre (ES-GM-U51-20);
• 1150 vein, new discovery: 93.19 g/t Au and less than 0.3 g/t Ag over 0.54 metre (ES-GM-U59-20);
• 1180 vein: 73.03 g/t Au and 32.0 g/t Ag over 0.30 metre (ES-GM-U49-20);
• Manto vein: 44.49 g/t Au and 98.5 g/t Ag over 0.35 metre (ES-GM-U17-21).

Serafino Iacono, executive chairman of Gran Colombia, commented: "Our drilling programs in Segovia are continuing to provide us with outstanding results. With the discovery of two additional high-grade veins at the El Silencio mine, close to the mine workings currently in production, we remain confident that we will continue to expand mineral resources and add to the mine life for this operation. These new discoveries are further evidence that our main mines remain underexplored and have the potential to be larger than what we understand today."

Gran Colombia boosts net income in Q2 on higher production and increased gold price

Kitco News | Aug 13

(Kitco News) - Gran Colombia Gold (TSX: GCM; OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today that gold production from its Segovia Operations in Colombia totaled 52,198 ounces in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 44,377 ounces in the second quarter of 2020.

The company’s consolidated revenue amounted to $96.4 million and $198.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, up from $77.1 million and $178.1 million in the second quarter and first half, respectively, of 2020.

The year-over-year increase in revenue largely reflects an increase in the company’s realized gold price which averaged $1,805 per ounce sold in the first half of 2021 compared with an average of $1,622 per ounce sold in the first half last year.

The company reported net income of $29.8 million ($0.41 per share) in the second quarter of 2021 compared with a net loss of $18.6 million ($0.27 per share) in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting an improvement in income from operations and a gain on financial instruments.

The company said it remains on track with its annual production guidance of 200,000 to 220,000 ounces of gold from Segovia in 2021.

/ 2 /

Adjusted net income (1) for the second quarter of 2021 was $23.6-million (33 cents per share) compared with $17.5-million (29 cents per share) in the second quarter last year. For the first half of 2021, adjusted net income improved to $45.5-million (69 cents per share) from $38.7-million (66 cents per share) in the first half last year. The year-over-year improvement in adjusted net income in the second quarter and first half of 2021 largely reflects the factors noted above regarding income from operations partially offset by an increase in income tax expense.
