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.   "

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.

Increased M&A Activity a Win-Win for Gold Sector, Brightstar Resources Exec Says

Following the completion of its acquisition of Alto Metals, Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) plans to conduct 50,000 metres of reverse-circulation and diamond drilling, beginning next year, at Alto Metals' approximately 900 square kilometre Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Brightstar Managing Director Alex Rovira outlined the next steps for merging Alto Metals with Brightstar’s assets and the strategy for moving forward.

“From an exploration perspective … it's really focusing on the Sandstone package. We will do near-mine brownfields exploration at our Menzies and Laverton gold projects. And really, the aspiration there is to take a number of those mines toward development decisions,” he said.
