The concession was previously explored by Ashanti Gold Corporation and Kiwi Goldfields Limited where multiple targets associated with traversing lineaments were recognised within a 7km wide corridor of the Asankrangwa Gold Belt.
The lease area will also provide greater flexibility in the design of infrastructure within the Obotan Project Feasibility Study design, which is currently in progress.
The agreement allows for a purchase price of US$6 million and is contingent upon obtaining the approval of the sale and transfer of the Mining Lease to Adansi by the Ghana Minerals Commission and Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines.
