Alma Gold Inc. Enters West Africa with the Acquisition of Karita Gold Corp.

16.02.2021  |  Accesswire
VANCOUVER, Feb. 16, 2021 - Alma Gold Inc. ("Alma Gold" or the "Corporation"), a spin-out company from Red Lake Gold Inc. (CSE:RGLD), is pleased to announce that the Corporation has entered into a binding share purchase agreement with arm's-length parties to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Karita Gold Corp., a privately-held exploration company based in Bedford, Nova Scotia which is focused on gold exploration in West Africa.

"The acquisition of Karita Gold Corp. is a remarkable compliment to our work on this side of the Atlantic. Alma Gold is excited to advance further exploration at our flagship Clarence Stream North Gold Project in New Brunswick where soil sampling last year defined compelling gold exploration targets adjacent to Galway Metal's Clarence Stream Gold Project. Given exploration seasonality in Canada, Alma Gold made the decision to compliment our existing assets with a second jurisdiction that would, when combined together with our ongoing work in the Clarence Stream gold camp, facilitate more continuous exploration news flow to our shareholders and add further gold discovery potential. Our decision to acquire Karita Gold Corp. represents a well-timed opportunity that delivers high-impact gold exploration exposure for our shareholders to an emerging world-class gold region in West Africa. I am particularly pleased to welcome Greg Isenor, who will at closing of the acquisition, become the largest shareholder of Alma Gold. Mr. Isenor's vast experience in West Africa, including his current role as Founder and Executive Chairman of Roscan Gold Corporation, underpins the remarkable opportunity set that Karita Gold's land assemblage represents, including by Guinea's border with both Mali and Senegal. We are excited to develop a multi-prong exploration portfolio as we advance our company to and through our near-term application to list on a public exchange," stated Ryan Kalt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alma Gold.
