VANCOUVER, June 27, 2019 /CNW/ - INCA ONE GOLD CORP.
(TSXV: IO) (Frankfurt: SU9.F) (SSEV: IOCL) ("Inca One" or
the "Company") announces consolidated gold production and
deliveries for May 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.
Inca One is pleased to report that deliveries for May 2019 increased 52% YOY with 3,491 tonnes of
gold bearing material delivered to both the Chala One and the Kori
One plants. The extended rainy season has delayed some
deliveries.
Throughput in May reached 2,912 tonnes, as compared to 3,099
tonnes in May 2018, a decrease of 6%
YOY. The decline in throughput is due to the lag time between
receiving and processing the ore near the end of the month.
Accordingly, we expect throughput to catch up with deliveries in
the coming months.
The Company's gold production decreased 7% YOY this past
May 2019 producing 1,420 ounces of
gold, as compared to 1,531 ounces in May
2018. Gold production this past month declined in line
with the decline in throughput.

Edward Kelly, President, and CEO
commented, "Our production has been lower than expected over the
prior few months, due to delayed deliveries as a result of the
extended rainy season which has now ended. As a result, we are
already seeing improved deliveries from our mining partners and
expect production to increase over the remainder of the year.
The Company is well capitalized and we have excess capacity to make
up from lost production from these recent months."
