DGAP-News: Gold Bar Development & Consulting Ltd. / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Gold Bar Development & Consulting Ltd. Announces Hamilton, Bermuda – 9 September 2015 – Gold Bar Development & Consulting Ltd. (the “Company”, “Gold Bar”; BSX Ticker: GOLD.BH, Frankfurt Ticker: B7GN) announces its progress in 2015 with respect to mining and funding, as well as its updated plan for the remainder of 2015 and 2016. During the first eight months of 2015, the Company had to temporarily suspended its mining operations on multiple occasions due to equipment malfunctions and numerous delays in funding. Gold Bar has now purchased the parts needed to resume mining, and is in the process of making the necessary equipment repairs. As of September 3, 2015, the Company only received approximately EUR150K of the EUR4.4M funding commitment which was supposed to be received on or before May 1, 2015. This put a tremendous strain on management, as the Company needed to put multiple projects on hold and operate with limited resources. As a result, Gold Bar terminated the respective agreement on September 3, 2015 and entered into a six month funding commitment for EUR4.2M with another company. Gold Bar anticipates receiving EUR2M of the commitment in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the remaining balance of EUR2.2M in the first quarter of 2016. Gold Bar has been in business since 2012 and has generated close to $1M in revenues to date. The Company has made significant progress developing relationships in Guyana and identifying opportunities within the country. With the decrease in the price of gold over the past two years, many junior mining companies have been put under pressure. The Company plans to become a strategic partner in the local mining community by using a portion of its funding to help revive some of the local mining camps which are currently stalled, and provide them with fuel and equipment necessary to get up and running again. Many local miners and claim holders have already expressed interest in forming partnerships with Gold Bar. This is advantageous, as the Company can gain additional streams of revenue through partnerships while focusing on building its core mining crews. Additionally, in the next 6 months Gold Bar plans on investing $1M in new equipment and hiring 30 additional workers. Gold Bar forecasts this investment will increase average monthly gold production to 400 ounces or 4,800 ounces per year (approximately $5.3M @ $1,100 per ounce). This projection is based on the assumptions that the recovery rate will increase from 40% to 90% and that Gold Bar will be able to run twice as much material by using newer more efficient equipment, as well as the assumption that overall production will grow 300% by increasing the total number of mining crews from 1 to 4. For more detail on these assumptions as well as the most recent 3-year financial projections, please visit www.GoldBarLtd.com. Gold Bar continually strives to be an attractive long-term investment and provide shareholders with consistent and stable returns.
