Toronto - African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX-V: AGG) ('AGG' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed Phases 3A and 4A of its drilling program at the Kobada Gold Project aimed at upgrading the oxide resources in the inferred category to indicated and measured (Phase 4A) and to initially prove mineralisation at the neighbouring Gosso shear zone (Phase 3A).

Danny Callow, Chief Executive Officer of AGG, commented: 'It is very pleasing to have completed the initial 6,300 m phased infill drilling programme along our Kobada main shear zone and the step-out drill campaign at the nearby Gosso shear zone. The results from Gosso show that our regional focus that has identified up to 55 km of shear zones on the property which have the potential to be mineralised is bearing fruit, which can be converted into future resources. This is extremely encouraging for significant near-term resource upside potential. In addition, our thesis of deeper oxides within the current resource shell, with holes extending the oxides in saprolite down to 180m, and additional mineralised zones outside of our current ore resource envelopes gives us confidence in a positive improvement in resource and reserves as we update this information into our geological model.

We believe that 2021 will be a transformational year for AGG, and whilst this is still early days in the evolution of understanding the full Kobada potential, our short-term target still remains to hit 1 million ounces of mineable reserves as soon as possible.'

Andy Rompel, VP Exploration of AGG, commented: 'We are thrilled by the results of Phase 4A with the high-grade results from several of its boreholes and from the fact that we will gain volume for mining at depth through a deeper than expected soft rock / hard rock boundary. The latter will allow us to 'free-dig' in our scheduled open pit deeper than projected. Furthermore, we are now assured that our prolific Kobada shear zone extends further north and most importantly it is mineralised. We will continue to pursue the Kobada shear northwards during our next campaigns.'
