H1‐2016 total cash cost for the Company was $682/oz, down 15% from H1‐2015, benefitting from:
Principal source of Gran Colombia’s gold production is the high‐grade resources at Segovia where the Company hascut costs and optimized its operating cost structure in recent years.
Fixed costs on a per ounce basis have decreased as a result of increased production in H1‐2016.
Devaluation of the Colombian peso in H2‐2015 positively impacted US$ equivalent costs in H1‐2016 vs H1‐2015.
