Orca Gold Inc. announced that the Company and the Government of Sudan signed all the key development agreements to proceed with the formal construction of a large commercial gold operation at the Block 14 Gold Project in northern Sudan. The signing took place at an official ceremony held on October 20, 2021, at the Ministry of Minerals in Khartoum, Sudan ? see Figures 1 & 2. Orca's President and CEO, Richard Clark, signed on behalf of the Company and his Excellency, the Honorable Minister of Minerals, Mohamed Bashir Abu Numo, signed on behalf of the Government of the Sudan. Anticipating the successful conclusion of negotiations with the Government of Sudan and the signing of the material development agreements, the Company has continued in its pre-construction activities at Block 14. The first phase of the development camp construction is well advanced and scheduled for completion before year end. In addition to this construction, the first flight recently landed at Block 14's newly completed airstrip. Regular flights will now be scheduled in conjunction with operations and development requirements. This is a key milestone in the early development of the project as access to the strip cuts travel time from Khartoum from 14 hours to 2 hours and significantly increases safety protocols for the operation.
