Didievi Gold Project of African Gold Yields Over 989,000 Ounces in Mineral Resources
In the stable mining jurisdiction of Côte d'Ivoire, African Gold is making significant strides in gold exploration and development. The company's flagship project, the Didievi Gold Project, and the newly-acquired Konahiri Project, both located within Birimian Greenstone Belts, are generating considerable interest.
The Didievi Gold Project, situated near three operating gold mines with a combined processing capacity of approximately 8 million tonnes per annum, has an inferred resource of 12.4 million tonnes at 2.5 g/t gold for 989,000 ounces. The project's Blaffo Guetto deposit, in particular, shows significant potential to expand beyond the million-ounce threshold.
Recent drilling results at Didievi are promising, with intercepts of 65.0m at 5.6 g/t gold, 52.0m at 2.9 g/t gold, and 31.4m at 3.5 g/t gold. The drilling program focuses on three key areas: Blaffo Guetto Resource Expansion, Poku Trend Development, and Pranoi-Kouassi Corridor.
African Gold's management team, with an established track record in West African gold exploration and development, is well-equipped to navigate these exciting opportunities. The company is also well-funded for aggressive exploration, thanks to its strong financial position, and has approximately $13 million in cash and liquid assets.
The company is executing a 40,000-meter drilling program targeting resource expansion and regional discoveries. The average resource grade of 2.5 g/t gold at Didievi significantly exceeds the feed grades at nearby operations, providing various pathways to monetisation.
Meanwhile, the Konahiri Project, a new asset for African Gold, boasts an 18km-long gold anomaly. Exceptional surface sampling results at Konahiri yielded peak values of 1.18 g/t gold. The project is located within the Kotiola Marabadrassa Birimian Greenstone Belt, hosting the +4Moz Wahgnion Operation and 2.2Moz Abujar deposit.
Strategic investor Montage Gold holds a 17.5% stake in African Gold, with a market capitalisation exceeding C$1.9 billion. With such strong backing, African Gold's valuation stands at $159 million.
The Birimian rocks at Didievi formed approximately 2.1 billion years ago during intense volcanic and tectonic activity. This ancient volcanic and sedimentary rock formation has proven fertile for gold mineralisation across West Africa, including the Sefwi Greenstone Belt near the Didievi Gold Project.
In conclusion, African Gold's Didievi Gold Project and Konahiri Project hold great promise for gold discoveries and resource expansion in West Africa. With strong financial backing, an experienced management team, and a strategic location near multiple operating mines, African Gold is well-positioned to capitalise on these opportunities.
