Sylla Gold Executes LOI to Acquire the Sananfara Gold Permit at Niaouleni
Sylla Gold Corp. (TSXV: SYG); (OTCQB: SYGCF) ("Sylla Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce on October 18, 2022 the Company entered into an arm's length letter of intent ("LOI") pursuant to which Sylla Gold would acquire an option to earn 100% of the Sananfara gold exploration permit located contiguously south of the Company's Niaouleni Gold Project.
The Sananfara exploration permit is 2,100 hectares in size and once acquired would bring the total Niaouleni project area to 17,200 hectares in size (Figure 1). The Sananfara permit is host to numerous gold showings and artisanal workings in the area of the Gosso Shear extension.
Figure 1 -Prospect location map of the Niaouleni Gold Project in southern Mali
Regan Isenor, President and CEO of Sylla Gold commented, "We prioritized picking up the Sananfara exploration permit as it represents the extension of the Gosso Shear and is a key piece of land in what is turning into a major gold bearing structural corridor. Acquiring the Sananfara permit is the result of the Company's ongoing land acquisition strategy within this developing corridor."
The completion of the transaction contemplated by the letter of intent remains subject to the Company entering into a definitive option agreement and all regulatory approvals.
Niaouleni Project
The Niaouleni Project (Figure 2) is accessible by paved highway and includes extensive artisanal mining activity within the interpreted extensions of gold bearing structures. Past exploration work at Niaouleni included extensive reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling, which identified several structural gold-bearing zones that appeared to extend from the adjacent Kobada gold deposit.
Sylla Gold's inaugural drilling program was completed between April and July 2022 and included 57 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (7,305 m) and 212 air core (AC) drill holes (10,600 m) completed along several drill fences. These drill holes targeted the Niaouleni South, Lebre Plateau and Kankou Moussa prospects along the Kobada Shear, and the Gouingouindougou prospect located on the Gosso Shear. These prospects were all previously defined by termite mound and soil geochemistry results. Assay results from the RC and AC drilling programs were released by the Company in news releases dated August 29, 2022, September 13, 2022, and October 4, 2022.

Sylla Gold Exercises Option Agreement to Acquire 100% of the Deguefarakole Licence at Its Niaouleni Gold Project
Sylla Gold Corp. (TSXV: SYG) (OTCQB: SYGCF) ("Sylla" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Deguefarakole exploration licence at its Niaouleni Gold Project by issuing 3,000,000 Common Shares of the Company and amending the Option Agreement dated September 15, 2021 with Niaouleni Gold Inc. (the "Optionor") and Niaouleni Gold Mali SARL. The Deguefarakole licence is one of four exploration licences that comprise the Company's 17,200 sq. km. Niaouleni Gold Project located in the Republic of Mali.
The Niaouleni Gold Project is located in the Sanankoro-Kobada-Niaouleni Gold Corridor and all of the Company's exploration work to date has been completed within the Deguefarakole licence area which represents 9,200 hectares (Figure 1). Between August of 2022 and March 2023, the Company completed 76 reverse circulation drill holes on the Deguefarakole licence encountering anomalous gold grades over significant widths in 66 of 76 RC holes drilled on the property (see Sylla press releases dated August 29, 2022, September 13, 2022, and April 12, 2023). Drilling was mainly focused around the Niaouleni South Prospect. The Company's drilling activities extended the strike length at Niaouleni South to 700 m and remains open to the north, south and at depth. The Niaouleni South prospect sits approximately 6 km along strike from the Kobada gold deposit.

Under the terms of the original Option Agreement, the final option payment required to exercise the Option included the issuance of 5,000,000 Common Shares of the Company and a cash payment of $500,000. Under the terms of the Amending Agreement, this has been reduced to the issuance of 3,000,000 Common Shares and the final cash payment requirement has been waived. The Company has issued 3,000,000 Common Shares to the Optionors, comprised of 2,000,000 Common Shares required to be issued up to the second anniversary of the Option Agreement, and the final issuance of 1,000,000 Common Shares on or before April 12, 2025. Upon issuance of the 3,000,000 Common Shares, the Option has been exercised in full and the Company has earned a 100% undivided interest in the Deguefarakole exploration licence.
In connection with the exercise of the Option, the Optionor has reserved a 3% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") in its favour, subject to the ability of the Company to purchase up to 2% of the NSR (resulting in the remaining NSR being reduced to 1%) for a purchase price of $2,000,000.

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.
"I fully expect Bitcoin's going to go to US$200,000, and I fully expect gold's going to go to US$5,000 (per ounce) in the next couple of years," he said. "All the suffering gold stock holders out there ... we're going to be very pleasantly surprised."

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.
Aside from gold, Temple spoke about natural gas and uranium, his other two favorite commodities in the near term.
He also discussed the potential implications of Donald Trump's second presidency, saying it will be key to watch how he develops the US' relationship with China, especially as the Asian nation grapples with internal problems.
"This is the most important thing that consumers and investors and policy makers need to watch in 2025 — is Trump smart on how he deals with all of this and rebuilds our own industries to compensate for years down the road? Or is he going to be ham-fisted about it and cause more problems than he solves?" Temple questioned.
Watch the video above for more from Temple on what's to come in 2025.

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.
Gold to face complex drivers next year
Looking back at 2024, the WGC outlines multiple factors that drove gold's strong performance.
For instance, central bank demand reached significant levels, underscoring the metal's enduring role as a safe-haven asset. Central banks have now been net buyers of gold for nearly 15 years.
Meanwhile, investor interest surged amid geopolitical instability and market volatility, particularly in the third quarter, when western investors returned to the market, driven by lower yields and a weakening US dollar.
Asian demand, a critical component of the gold market, played a supportive role in the first half of the year.
Indian demand was buoyed by favorable policy changes, including a reduction in import duties, while Chinese investors turned to gold amid concerns about economic growth.
Heading into 2025, the complex global economic picture is creating uncertainty for gold.
In the US, Donald Trump is expected to introduce policies that stimulate domestic economic growth during his second term as president, potentially driving risk-on sentiment in the short term. However, these policies could also create inflationary pressures and disrupt supply chains, leading investors to seek the stability of assets like gold.
Central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, are anticipated to continue cutting interest rates. Market consensus suggests the Fed will cut by 100 basis points in 2025, with similar actions expected in Europe.
The WGC forecasts in its report that a dovish monetary policy environment could be supportive for the gold price, particularly if inflation remains above target levels. On the other hand, any reversal in monetary policy or a prolonged pause in rate cuts could present challenges for gold, as higher opportunity costs may deter investors.
Similarly, subdued economic growth could limit consumer demand, particularly in Asia, where gold plays a dual role as an investment and a cultural staple.
Asia and central banks to lead gold buying
In 2025, the WGC predicts that Asia will remain a cornerstone of the global gold market. The continent accounts for over 60 percent of annual demand, excluding central bank activity.
Chinese consumer demand, which has been relatively muted, is likely to hinge on the country’s economic policies and growth trajectory. Trade tensions and domestic stimulus measures could sway demand either way, while gold may face increased competition from alternative investment avenues such as equities and real estate.
For its part, India is better positioned to sustain gold demand. With economic growth projected to remain above 6.5 percent and a smaller trade deficit compared to other US trading partners, the WGC believes Indian consumers are likely to continue purchasing gold both for investment and cultural purposes.
Central bank activity will remain a critical driver for gold in 2025. While demand may not reach the heights of recent years, it is expected to surpass long-term averages, providing a consistent source of support for the market.
Central bank purchases are influenced by geopolitical risk, sovereign debt levels and portfolio diversification. These drivers are unlikely to wane, ensuring that central banks will continue to play a stabilizing role in the gold market.
However, any significant deceleration in central bank demand could exert downward pressure on the gold price, particularly if combined with other bearish factors such as higher interest rates or reduced investment flows.
Overall, the WGC predicts that in 2025 the gold market is likely to be shaped by the interplay of four primary drivers: economic expansion, risk, opportunity cost and momentum.
Economic growth, though expected to remain positive, will likely be below trend, limiting the scope for consumer demand growth. Geopolitical risks, including ongoing tensions in regions like South Korea and Syria, may prompt investors to increase their allocations to gold as a hedge against uncertainty.
The opportunity cost of holding gold, determined by interest rates and yields, will be a critical factor. Lower rates should support gold, but any unexpected tightening of monetary policy could dampen investment demand.
Finally, market momentum, influenced by technical factors and investor sentiment, will play a role in determining gold’s short-term performance. A strong start to the year, fueled by initial risk-on sentiment, could pave the way for a more stable or even bullish trajectory, provided macroeconomic conditions remain favorable.
How will the gold price perform in 2025?
Market consensus suggests gold will remain rangebound in 2025, potentially seeing modest gains.
However, the WGC reminds investors that the market is not without risks. A rapid deterioration in financial conditions, unexpected geopolitical developments or a sharp rise in central bank demand could provide upside surprises.
Conversely, a reversal in monetary policy or subdued demand from key markets could cap gold’s performance.
Either way, both investors and analysts will closely monitor developments related to the key regions and variables mentioned to gauge the direction of the gold market this coming year.

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.
Brightstar’s Alto Metals acquisition is one of an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions within the gold space in recent years, fueled by a strengthening gold price and a desire to boost gold production.
In 2024 alone, Brightstar has acquired three companies — Linden Gold, Gateway Mining and Alto Metals — boosting the company’s gold resources and bringing it closer to production.
Rovira added that Brightstar’s global resources have grown from 400,000 ounces to 3 million ounces to date through a combination of M&A and resource exploration.
“For us in our business, it made a lot of sense to conduct some of this M&A, because it was almost cheaper at times to be acquiring ounces than it was to raise the money and explore for them. So we managed to consolidate a number of mispriced or undervalued opportunities in Western Australia,” he said.
Rovira offered his insight on the trend of increasing M&A in the gold sector, calling Northern Star Resources' (ASX:NST,OTC Pink:NESRF) planned US$5 billion acquisition of De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG,OTC Pink:DGMLF) a “win-win.”
“What that does is it frees up capital in the sector so investors can monetise those positions and they can look to reinvest that in other gold-mining companies. So it is good for liquidity, it's good for investors (and) ultimately for the companies as well. It provides access to capital whether there's operational synergies, different teams coming in and looking at different projects,” Rovira said.

Horizon Minerals
Investor Insight
Horizon Minerals’ near-term cash-flow potential and its significant land package in the prolific Western Australian goldfields with considerable exploration upside position the company to positively leverage the current bull gold market opportunity.
Overview
Horizon Minerals (ASX:HRZ) is an ASX-listed emerging mid-tier gold mining company focusing on a portfolio of highly promising gold projects located in the world-class Western Australian goldfields. The recent merger with Greenstone has added nearly 0.5 million ounces (Moz) of high-grade resource to Horizon, taking its total tally to 1.8 Moz, and resulted in Horizon Minerals total land package of 939 sq km in the Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie district.
The Greenstone merger brings near-term cash-generating opportunities and adds greater scale to its baseload assets (Boorara) with the high-grade Burbanks deposit. Horizon’s dual-track strategy involves generating immediate cash flows by leveraging a pipeline of development-ready production assets and concurrently advancing the cornerstone assets, Boorara and Burbanks, which have a combined resource inventory of 914 koz at 1.7 grams per ton (g/t) gold with potential to support a profitable, long-life operation.
The recent ore sale agreement with Paddington Gold is encouraging and increases confidence in the management’s ability to generate near-term cash flows. Under the agreement, 1.4 million (Mt) will be processed over a period of 22 months. The agreement allows Horizon to capitalize on high gold prices to generate significant cash flows.
Horizon is also progressing with other projects, including the Cannon gold project and Penny’s Find underground mine, and actively exploring for new discoveries in the Western Australian Goldfields, targeting gold and other commodities such as nickel-cobalt, silver-zinc, PGEs and lithium across its extensive land holdings. Additionally, Horizon holds a significant stake in one of the world’s largest vanadium projects via its investment in Richmond Vanadium Technology, which is listed on the ASX.
Horizon proposes to acquire 100 percent of Poseidon via an all-scrip transaction for AU$30 million to consolidate 1.8Moz gold and highly strategic processing infrastructure for Horizon to transition to the next standalone WA gold producer. The acquisition will combine Horizon’s large gold resource and Poseidon’s Black Swan processing infrastructure in the Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie districts. The transaction will further result in substantial resource base and regional tenure to a combined JORC mineral resources of ~1.8Moz gold at an average grade of 1.84g/t gold and 422,700t nickel at an average grade of 1 percent nickel. Horizon and Poseidon will have a total of 1,309 sq. km. tenure in an attractive geological position in the WA Goldfields.
Horizon aims to become a sustainable, 100kozpa standalone producer following the merger and conversion and recommissioning of the Black Swan processing plant. The 2.2Mtpa processing facility is strategically located 40 km north of Kalgoorlie with a concentrator readily amenable to processing gold through cost-effective refurbishment and the addition of a new CIL circuit.
Horizon's 30Mt existing gold resources, with 50,000 metres of drilling fully funded to commence drilling in 2025 or 2026, strongly support the conversion of the Black Swan processing plant to a gold plant.
Company Highlights
- Horizon Minerals is an emerging mid-tier gold producer with an extensive portfolio of highly promising gold projects located in the world-class Western Australian goldfields.
- The recently completed merger with Greenstone Resources positions Horizon as a mid-tier gold producer in the Western Australian Goldfields. The combined entity enhanced Horizon’s portfolio with two complementary cornerstone gold assets — Burbanks and Boorara (combined resource of 914,000 oz).
- Mineral resource updates after the merger include 1.8Moz gold, 20.2Moz silver, 104kt zinc, 283kt nickel, 40.5kt cobalt and 296.2kt manganese.
- Changes to the gold MREs include:
- Addition of 297,650oz from Burbanks open pit
- Addition of 167,920oz from Burbanks underground
- Addition of 13,000oz from Pinner
- Addition of 3,000oz from Monument
- Reduction of 20,240oz from Boorara
- Horizon has announced a proposed merger with Poseidon Nickel Limited with Horizon having in ground gold assets that can be processed, and Poseidon having processing facilities including the Black Swan plant, which Horizon proposed to refurbish and repurpose from a concentrator into a gold CIL plant.
- Open pit mining has commenced at the Boorara gold project in August 2024 and the first ore was exposed and mined in late September 2024, with first ore being delivered to the Paddington mill for processing.
- Horizon also recently commenced mining at its recently acquired Phillips Find project with ore to be processed at the Greenfields mill near Coolgardie from February to June 2025.
- Horizon is also progressing with other projects, including the Cannon and Penny’s Find underground mines.
- Amidst the current record gold prices, Horizon seeks to capitalize on this opportunity by advancing its substantial resource endowment towards development, thereby generating cash flow.
Key Projects
Boorara Gold Project
The Boorara gold project is located 15 km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the Western Australian goldfields. Over the past decade, a substantial amount of reverse circulation and diamond drilling has been carried out at Boorara. The project includes a JORC 2012 mineral resource estimate (MRE) by Optiro (now Snowden Optiro), which reported a total of 10.53 Mt grading at 1.26 g/t gold, amounting to 448,000 ounces.
The company views Boorara as a substantial baseload feed source that could be enhanced by lower tonnage, higher-grade feed to sustain a standalone milling facility. This is where the recent acquisition of Greenstone becomes important. Boorara can be supplemented by higher-grade feed from Greenstone’s Burbanks deposit to support an integrated operation.
The Independent JORC (2012) Ore Reserve for Boorara, completed by AMC Consultants, shows a financially viable project highlighted by an open pit mine design producing 1.24 Mt at a fully diluted grade of 1.24 g/t gold for 49.5 koz over an approximate 14-month mine life, and ore sale agreement at 92.5 percent metallurgical recovery produces 45.8 koz recovered.
Boorara commenced open pit mining in August 2024, with the first ore exposed and mined in late September 2024. Mining at the site will occur over 14 months and processing over 19 months at Norton Gold Fields’ Paddington plant to generate $30 million in estimated free cashflow at a AU$3,600/oz gold price.
Phillips Find Gold Project
The Phillips Find gold project is located 45 km north-west of Coolgaride, Western Australia in the heart of the Western Australian goldfields covering 10 kilometres of strike over prospective greenstone stratigraphy. The project includes the Phillips Find Mining Centre (PFMC) where approximately 33,000 ounces of gold were produced between 1998. A joint venture (JV) agreement is in place with mining specialists BML Ventures Pty Limited (BML) to develop and mine two open pits at Phillips Find. Horizon Minerals plans to commence the grade control program early in December and the first mining of ore in December 2024. The first ore from Phillips Find is on track to be treated at FMR’s Greenfields mill from February 2025 to June 2025
Nimbus Silver-Zinc Project
The 100 percent owned Nimbus silver-zinc-lead-gold deposit is located 15 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia within the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The project's current mineral resource estimate (JORC 2012) includes 12.1 million tons at 52 g/t silver, 0.2 g/t gold and 0.9 percent zinc containing 20.2 million oz of silver, 78,000 oz of gold and 104,000 tons of zinc using lower cut-off grades of 12 ppm for silver, 0.5 percent for zinc and 0.3 g/t for gold over a 2 metre down hole composite. Within this global resource, the Nimbus project has a high-grade silver and zinc resource of 255,898 tons at 773 g/t silver and 13 percent zinc.
A concept study has confirmed the optimal economic development pathway by mining the higher-grade lodes and generation of a silver/zinc concentrate. A programme of work (POW) has been approved and drilling to test the exploration target is expected to be undertaken in the first half of 2025. The Nimbus project is 2 km east of Horizon's cornerstone Boorara project and 6.5 km north-northwest of Golden Ridge, both historic gold mining centres.
Burbanks Gold Project
The Burbanks gold project is situated 9 km southeast of Coolgardie, Western Australia. The project encompasses the Burbanks Mining Centre and more than 5 kilometers of the highly promising Burbanks Shear Zone, historically the most significant gold-producing structure within the Coolgardie Goldfield. Previous underground production at Burbanks has surpassed 420,000 oz to date.
Burbanks currently hosts a total resource of 6.1 Mt @ 2.4 g/t gold for 466 koz, including underground of 1.2 Mt @ 4.4 g/t gold for 168 koz. Burbanks is underexplored and remains open in all directions for future growth.
Cannon Underground Project
The Cannon gold project is located 30 km east-southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. It is a fully permitted project with a pre-feasibility study completed in 2022, which shows strong project economics with a free cash flow of AU$10.1 million over the mine's life. The company has finished commissioning a dewatering pipeline and a pumping system, representing a major milestone in the advancement of its Cannon Underground project. Discussions with mining contractors and potential JV mining partners are underway. First ore production from the Cannon Project is expected to commence in Q4 2024.
Penny’s Find
Penny’s Find is about 50 km northeast of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, near the company’s wholly-owned Kalpini gold project. It comprises a granted mining lease and other associated leases covering 91 hectares. The mineral resource estimate updated in December 2023 boasts 63,000 ounces of gold in the indicated and inferred category. A pre-feasibility study for exploitation using underground mining methods is currently underway. This study will include mine design and financial analysis.
Rose Hill
Rose Hill is 0.5 km southeast of Coolgardie and 35 km west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, on the western edge of the Archean Norseman-Menzies Greenstone Belt. The current JORC 2012 resource at Rose Hill contains 93,300 oz , comprising an open-pit mineral resource of 0.3 Mt grading 2.0 g/t gold for 18,400 oz, and an underground mineral resource of 0.5 Mt grading 4.6 g/t gold for 74,900 oz. Nearly 70 percent of the resource is in the measured and indicated JORC categories.
