Condor Gold plc

("Condor", "Condor Gold" or the "Company")

Condor Gold plc announces its unaudited results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018

Condor Gold (AIM: CNR; OTCQX: CNFGF; TSX: COG) announces that it has today published its unaudited financial results for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2018 and the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the same period.

Both of the above have been posted on the Company's website www.condorgold.com and are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com .

Highlights for the third quarter of 2018

-- The Ministry of the Environment ("MARENA") completed a positive review of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") at the La India Project in Nicaragua (the "Project") and formally notified the Company to proceed to a Public Consultation (a public hearing) on July 13, 2018.

-- The turn out was high; a total of 499 people registered and attended the Public Consultation at which the technical, environmental and social aspects of a new mine were presented and discussed in a transparent manner. During presentations of the Project to community groups and house-to-house visits the Company received over 600 expressions of interest in/applications for new jobs.

-- On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that MARENA had granted the Company the key Environmental Permit for the Project for the development, construction and operation of a processing plant with capacity to process up to 2,800 tonnes per day ("tpd"). Gold production is expected to be between 80,000 and 100,000 ounces ("oz") per annum from a single open pit, representing a US$120 million investment and creating an estimated 1,000 new jobs.

-- Positive rock chip assay results and on-going detailed geological mapping progress the plan to define a major gold district around La India Project.

Post Period Highlights

-- SRK Consulting (U.K.) Ltd has been engaged to update the mineral resource for approximately 12,000m drilling since the previous mineral resource update from December 2014.

Mark Child, Chairman and Chief Executive of Condor Gold, commented:

"The construction and operation of a new mine at Mina La India is now materially de-risked. During the third quarter Condor received the key Environmental Permit to produce approximately 600,000 oz gold from a single open pit. Annual gold production is expected to be between 80,000 to 100,000 oz. La India has an open pit gold mineral reserve in the Probable category of 6.9 million tonnes ("Mt") at 3.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold for 675,000 oz gold. The economics are attractive. All-in sustaining cash costs of US$700 per ounce gold compare favorably to the current gold price of US$1,220 per ounce.

"To put the permitted open pit in context, it represents about 34% of the La India Project's total mineral resource; significantly more gold may be produced, subject to further drilling, technical studies and additional permits. The La India Project contains a mineral resource in the indicated category of 9.6 Mt at 3.5 g/t for 1.08 million oz gold and a total mineral resource in the inferred category of 8.5 Mt at 4.5 g/t for 1.23 million oz gold. The indicated mineral resource is inclusive of the mineral reserve.

"Condor has engaged SRK Consulting (U.K.) Ltd to update the mineral resource for approximately 12,000m drilling since the previous mineral resource update. Internal studies show a new high-grade feeder pit. Our strategy is to demonstrate that high grade feeder pits can materially supplement production from the main La India open pit."
