African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX-V: AGG) (" AGG " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce the results of its ongoing exploration activities at the Kobada Gold Project in Southern Mali. A detailed study of the airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has delineated a total of 55 km of shear zone structures, an approximate 80% increase from the previously delineated 30 km.

 

  Highlights:  

 
  •   A reprocessing of airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has led to a re-interpretation of the structural inventory and resulted in a delineation of 55 km of shear zones   across   the   Kobada, Faraba and Kobada Est concessions  
  •  
  •   Existing   1.2 Moz in M&I and 1.1 Moz in Inferred resources   ha   ve   been   es   timated   along   only   4 km   of   strike length of the   Kobada   shear zone   (see    NI 43-101 Technical Report on Kobada Gold Project in Mali    dated   July 10, 2020 with an effective date of June 17, 2020   the "2020 DFS")  
  •  
  •   An additional 25 km of shear zones   represent a potential for   an   increase in resources  
  •  
  •   Drilling   continues   in the main shear zone, the Gosso target   ,   and the northern extension of the main Kobada shear zone as part of the 10,000 m drilling programme announced in September (   see press release as of September 14, 2020)  
  •  
  •   The Company expects to deliver an updated mineral resource estimate   during   Q1 2021 to incorporate results from the Company's   ongoing   drilling program.  
  •  

Re-processing and interpretation of the airborne data was initiated during July 2020 and awarded to John Bell, a geophysicist, with in-depth knowledge of the Birimian geology. The report was received during October 2020 and its very detailed findings have allowed for a re-assessment of the structural inventory at our Kobada project and its neighbouring concessions Kobada Est and Faraba.

 

The integration of various datasets, including soil geochemistry, radiometrics, various magnetic derivatives, satellite imagery and field observations led to the delineation of 55 km strike length of potentially mineralised shear zones. Known outcrops, historical artisanal excavations, soil sampling and tracing of shears along magnetic features and satellite imagery facilitated the delineation. AGG will test all targets for gold occurrence in the subsequent exploration programmes.

 

Danny Callow, Chief Executive Officer of AGG, states:

 

  "   Since August 2019, AGG has analysed all historical   geological   information to better understand the structural geology of the Kobada complex.   T   hese exciting results   from a re-analysis of these datasets   could   increase the resource potential of the Kobada gold project and   represent a significant milestone   achievement   for the company. With only 4 km of the shear zones drilled to date, the recent findings further confirm the belie   f   of the management team that we have only scratched the surface of the true potential of the Kobada   G   old   P   roject.   The 55 km   of highly prospective shear zone structures   identified by AGG   have the potential to increase the resource of the AGG portfolio, and we have put together a detailed drill programme to target these new areas.   The recent   better than expected   drill results   from the   ongoing   drilling program   and delineation of new shear zones continue to   strengthen   our vision of building a long-term sustainable operation in West Africa and growing value for our shareholders.   We now firmly believe that this has the potential to not only   substantially   increase the mine life as detailed in the   2020 DFS   , but also the potential to increase the output from the current 100,000 ounces of gold per annum.   "

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
