GG Golconda Gold Ltd

Golconda Gold Ltd. (“Golconda Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GG; OTCQB: GGGOF) announces that its Chief Executive Officer, Nicholas Brodie, will be retiring as CEO and a director of Golconda Gold on November 30, 2024. We are pleased to announce that Ravi Sood, Golconda Gold founder, Executive Chairman, and former CEO, will replace Mr. Brodie as Chief Executive Officer effective November 30, 2024.

Mr. Sood has been the Executive Chairman of Golconda Gold since its inception and previously served as its Chief Executive Officer from October 2013 to November 2014. Mr. Sood is an accomplished executive and investor having been the CEO of Navina Asset Management Inc., an investment management firm responsible for a variety of mandates that was acquired in 2009. Mr. Sood has also been an investor, director and co-founder of a variety of other businesses including Buchanan Renewables Inc. (acquired in 2008), Jade Power Trust (acquired in 2022), Elgin Mining Inc. (acquired in 2014) and ICC Labs (acquired in 2018). Mr. Sood currently serves as the Chairman of Sparq Systems Inc., and Abraxas Power Corp.

Mr. Sood commented: “Golconda is grateful for the dedication and professionalism that Nicholas has shown over the past 12 years. With creativity and determination, he navigated the Company through a challenging gold price environment and is leaving the Company in a sound position from which it can expand by exploiting the potential at Galaxy and by re-starting the Summit Mine in New Mexico(1). I have a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for what Nick has done for the Company and will miss him both professionally and personally.”

Golconda Gold CEO, Nick Bodie commented: “I have been with Golconda Gold for over 12 years and this decision is not an easy one. In my time as CEO, we revived the fortunes of Mupane Gold in Botswana before its sale to the in-country management team, acquired and restarted Galaxy Gold setting it on a path for exponential growth, and acquired the Summit mine which represents great potential to expand production even further. (1) I could not have done this without the support of the Board and Golconda’s talented team of employees who have all shared the same long-term goal to make a low-cost gold producer to the benefit of all our stakeholders and the wider communities in which we operate. I would also like to thank my family who have provided me with constant support throughout my career so that I could achieve my own personal goals.”

Golconda Gold Chairman, Ravi Sood commented: “Looking to 2025 and a highly constructive gold and silver price environment I look forward to sharing more about plans to continue to expand production at Galaxy and to re-start the Summit Mine in New Mexico. We are in the position of being a gold producer with two substantial organic growth opportunities that can provide leverage to the gold price.” (1)
