AFRICAN GOLD GROUP RECEIVES ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT APPROVAL FOR THE KOBADA GOLD PROJECT
 

October 28, 2021, Toronto, Canada – African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX-V: AGG, OTCQX: AGGFF, FRA: 3A61) ("AGG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Environmental and Sustainable Development of the Republic of Mali has approved the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") for the Kobada Gold Project (the "Project" and "Kobada") and issued an updated Environmental Permit. The ESIA marks a key milestone in the permitting process and is the culmination of extensive consultations and stakeholder engagement.
 
"The approval of the ESIA and issuance of the Environmental Permit is a major achievement for our Company and brings us to the final stages of the permitting process for Kobada," commented Danny Callow, Chief Executive Officer. "We would like to thank the government of Mali and its permitting bodies as well as our surrounding communities for the strong support they have demonstrated for the project."
 
The Company recently announced the results of the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for Kobada Gold Project on 29 September 2021, with the highlights including:

  • Significant Production Potential
    • 3 Mtpa operation producing 1.2 Moz of gold over a 16-year Life-of-Mine ("LOM")
    • Average annual gold production of 100,000 oz over the first 10 years
  • Strong Economics
    • Pre-tax NPV5% of US$506 million with an IRR of 45%
    • Post-tax-NPV5% of US$355 million (57% increase compared to 2020 DFS) with an IRR of 38%
    • Pre-production capital requirement of approximately US$152 million (excl. working capital and contingencies)
    • Total project cash flow pre-tax of US$733 million with net cash flow after tax and capital expenditure of US$550 million
    • Capital payback of 2.3 years upon production commencement
  • Environmentally and Socially Responsible
    • hybrid thermal and solar photovoltaic power plant with battery energy storage, will be funded by an independent power producer
    • Power rate of estimated US$0.20 per kWh results in estimated savings annually resulting from a 43% reduction in fuel requirement versus conventional thermal power plants
    • Substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through utilisation of hybrid power plant, including 39% less carbon dioxide, 34% less carbon monoxide, 39% less sulfur dioxide and 26% less nitrogen oxides than conventional thermal power plant
  • Growing Resource with Substantial Exploration Upside
    • Total proven and probable mineral reserve has increased to 1,252,522 ounces of gold, a 66% increase from the mineral reserve estimate in the previous definitive feasibility study report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on Kobada Gold Project in Mali" with an effective date of June 17, 2020 (the "2020 DFS")
    • Total measured and indicated resource increase by 44% to 1.71 million ounces and a Total resource (including inferred resources) increase to 3.1 million ounces
    • High measured and indicated resource to reserve conversion rate of 73%
    • Further potential remains to significantly increase the resource and reserve along strike and depth at the Kobada Gold Project
    • Over 5,500 hectares of prospective mineral trends within trucking distance yet to be explored
    • Over 50 km of new potential mineralised shear zones identified on Kobada and Kobada Est concessions
    • Faraba concession renewed for 3 years with early exploration indicating the potential to extend shear zones even further
The Company`s last milestone at the Kobada Gold Project is the receipt of the environmental permit addendum for the sulphide portion of the project. The Company is continuing to advance the project towards construction and receipt of the updated environmental permit is one of the last crucial steps in that process.

In this news release, forward-looking statements relate, among other things, the Offering, the use of proceeds from the Offering, the Company’s objectives, goals and exploration activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; future growth potential of the Company, including whether any proposed exploration programs at any of the Company’s properties will be successful; exploration results; and future exploration plans and costs and financing availability. These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forwardlooking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the expected benefits to the Company relating to the exploration conducted and proposed to be conducted at the White Gold properties; the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals for the Offering; failure to identify any additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to fund any exploration programs on the Company’s properties; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining and mineral exploration; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological factors; actual results of current and future exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to properties; ongoing uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; and those factors described under the heading "Risks Factors" in the Company's annual information form dated July 29, 2020 available on SEDAR. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law.
