VANCOUVER, May 28, 2019 /CNW/ - INCA ONE GOLD CORP.
(TSXV: IO) (Frankfurt: SU9.F) (SSEV: IOCL) ("Inca One" or
the "Company") announces consolidated gold production for
April 2019 from its Chala One Plant ("Chala One") and
Koricancha Plant ("Kori One"). All comparative year
over year ("YOY") production numbers relate only to Chala
One in 2018. Consolidated production in 2019 is on a 100%
basis and includes Kori One from August 21,
2018.
The Company's gold production increased 69% YOY this past
April 2019 as it reached 2,065
ounces, as compared to 1,224 ounces in April
2018.
Material processed in April reached 4,238 tonnes, as compared to
2,490 tonnes in April 2018, an
increase of 70% YOY. Throughput in April averaged a combined
141 tonnes per day ("tpd").
Deliveries for April 2019
increased 50% YOY with 4,201 tonnes of gold bearing material
delivered to both the Chala One and the Kori One plants.
Although deliveries were up year over year, an extended rainy
season lasting unusually into April has affected the supply of
mineral throughout Peru. Many small-scale miners' production
has been delayed due to the weather and varying degrees of damage
to some mines. We expect a lag in ore deliveries until
overall conditions improve and anticipated seasonal effects have
passed.

Edward Kelly, President, and CEO
commented, "A number of our mining partners have been affected by
the weather, causing damage to their mines. As a result, there have
been delays in deliveries to our plants. Given that the last two
quarters of the year are typically our highest delivery periods,
management's expectations are that deliveries and production will
increase.
