The sale of AGG Ghana includes all of the Company's Ghanaian assets, including the 456 square kilometre Asankrangwa Tenements plus the separate Nyankumasi concession.
SGF has paid AGG US$200,000 as a non-refundable deposit on the transaction, which commits the parties to the completion of a share purchase agreement, subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals. On execution of the definitive share purchase agreement, SGF will pay a remaining US$1,000,000 as consideration for 100% of the share capital of AGG Ghana Limited. It is anticipated that the share purchase agreement will be completed within 60 days of this announcement.
