AGG African Gold Group Inc

African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX-V: AGG) (“AGG” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its fully permitted Kobada Gold Project in Southern Mali.

Highlights include:

• The Company's activities remain unaffected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Strict response plan imposed at the Kobada Gold Project reducing the workforce to key personnel and under strict social distancing and hygiene rules
• Project development timeline has not been impacted by the Covid-19 related measures
• Definitive feasibility study (the “DFS”) is on track and expected to be delivered in Q2 2020
• The Company is making preparations for additional field work at Faraba and Kobada extension exploration concessions

Operational update

The Company has made comprehensive operational changes to continue the work on the DFS expected to be delivered in Q2 2020. Given the Kobada Gold Project`s current development stage, which is centered on completing the DFS, there have been no considerable impacts to the development timeline as the result of Covid-19 pandemic.

Following a comprehensive drilling campaign in 2019-2020, with an improved understanding of the controls of mineralization at the Kobada Gold Project’s main shear zone, there exists the potential to locally expand the project’s resource with targeted drilling. This was recently illustrated with the Gosso target, where targeted grab samples proved additional mineralized zones. The Company views its Faraba and Kobada extension exploration concessions as highly prospective targets for the potential discovery of additional centres of mineralization. To that end, we are continuing to plan for additional drilling at our exploration concessions once the restrictions are lifted by Malian government.

COVID-19

There have been no confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection reported by any of the Company`s employees or contractors. As per Malian regulations, the Company has enacted a strict response plan to ensure the well-being of its employees and contractors.

The Company regards the health and safety of its employees and the communities in which we operate as our highest priority. The Company’s activities remain unaffected. On the ground, the workforce has been reduced to key personnel only and continues to operate with strict social distancing rules.

The Company will continue to review its response to Covid-19 to ensure the well-being of its employees and the business are safeguarded, especially as lockdown restrictions are lifted and employees start returning to work. Although, all international travel in Mali remains suspended, the Company has implemented a rapid response plan to ensure operational readiness when the restrictions are lifted by Malian government.
