安大略省多伦多7月13日(MARKET WIRE) - 非洲黄金集团,公司(“AGG”或“本公司”)(TSX VENTURE:AGG)欣然宣布积极的符合NI 43-101标准的结果初步经济评估(“PEA”或“Study”),用于评估一个开放的坑,批量挖掘模型,利用重力的潜力回收处理厂,于本公司的Kobada(马里)金矿项目。该咨询组Bumigeme公司,坐落在蒙特利尔,魁北克,委托AGG完成研究。
研究集成和包括2010年12年底的钻探数据。有没有从2011年的活动包括在钻孔数据研究。更具体地说,该研究并没有纳入钻孔数据延长1区以北2公里的北延孔1区的矿床,不纳入2011年南部孔或新发现的Foroko北矿床,也不是新发现白蚁区,后两者是和独特的结构1区。
工程经济学 - 基本情况 PEA估计税后净现值(NPV)为US216.9百万美元,税后内部收益率90.57%的回报率(IRR)使用1,100美元每盎司黄金的基本情况贴现率为5%。
Kobada项目基地的情况是每天处理20,000吨,总数为7,000,000吨,每年在重力工艺厂预计将恢复87.9%的41,750,000吨所含的黄金红土材料化验0.克/吨,平均年产量126600盎司黄金操作的第一个五年。平均每年的营运成本计算为:US $ 8.27 /吨矿石的第一五年的经营与资本性支出122,500,000美元。该项目生产黄金盎司的直接成本每股470.90美元美国。4年期间经营资本支出将增加290万美元 此外,球磨机中,将需处理的硫化物的资源。6年的平均经营成本将增加至$ 8.73 /吨矿石。黄金在今年6恢复和生产预计将达到80.80% 和112,200盎司金,分别。

* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release. Wed Jul 13, 2011 9:00am EDT
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- African Gold Group, Inc., (\"AGG\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:AGG) is pleased to announce the results of a positive NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (the \"PEA\" or the \"Study\") that evaluates the potential of an open pit, bulk mining model, utilizing a gravity recovery process plant, at the Company's Kobada (Mali) gold project. The consulting group Bumigeme Inc., located in Montreal, Quebec, was commissioned by AGG to complete the study.
The Study incorporates and includes drill data up to the end of December,2010. There is no drill data from the 2011 campaign included in theStudy. More specifically, the Study does not incorporate drill data for the northern extension holes that extend Zone 1 up to 2 kilometers north of the Zone 1 deposit, it does not incorporate the 2011 southern holes or the newly discovered Foroko North deposit, nor the newly discovered Termite Zone, the latter two are separate and distinct structures from Zone 1.
Project Economics - Base Case
The PEA estimates an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of US$216.9 million from commencement of construction and an after-tax Internal Rate Of Return (IRR) of 90.57% using a base case of US$1,100 per ounce of gold and a discount rate of 5%.
The Kobada project base case is for processing 20,000 tonnes per day fora total of 7,000,000 tonnes per year in a gravity process plant that is projected to recover 87.9% of the gold contained in 41,750,000 tonnes of lateritic material assaying 0. g/t Au, for average annual production of 126,600 ounces of gold for the first five years of operation. The average annual operating cost is calculated to be US$8.27/t of ore for the first five years of operation with a CAPEX of US$122,500,000. The project produces gold at the direct cost of US$470.90 per ounce. During years 4 and 5 of operations the CAPEX will be increased by US$2.9 million for the addition of a ball mill that will be required to process the sulphide resource. The average operating cost at year 6 will increase to US$8.73/t of ore. Gold recovery and production in year 6 is projected to be 80.80% and 112,200 ozs Au, respectively.
Key highlights from the Study are as follows:
-- The Study demonstrates that the Kobada gold project is economically optimized by adopting bulk mining versus selective mining. The direct implications of bulk mining are demonstrated in a substantial increase in ore tonnage and recoverable gold but with an associated decrease in the average gold grade.
-- AGG Director and Qualified Persons, Mr. Pierre Lalande, P.Geo., has recommended that 100% of all material excavated between the hanging wall and footwall of the mineralized zone be processed in the gravimetric plant as lateritic deposits containing coarse free gold result in a strong \"nugget effect\". It is this characteristic, due to weathering, that makes Kobada amenable to utilizing gravity for gold recovery. Mr. Lalande contends that the increase in sampling density of drilling during grade control of mined deposits in West Africa often turns much \"in ore waste\" of feasibility study estimates into incremental ore.
-- The geological and in-pit resources that are detailed in this study are only projected to a vertical depth of 160 meters versus the projected depth of 260 meters in AGG's 43-101 compliant Initial Resources Estimate that was published in May of 2008. This amendment reflects AGG's primary focus on the oxidized horizon of the deposit. Therefore, most of the volume of the sulphide resource that was included in the May, 2008 Initial Resources Estimate is not included in this Study.

Geological Resources Estimate From Surface To 160 Meters Vertical Depth
The resources estimate reported in this Study are calculated from surface to a vertical depth of 160 m as compared to AGG's 2008 initial resources estimate that was calculated to a vertical depth of 260 m. As previously stated, this amendment reflects AGG's primary focus on the oxidized horizon of the deposit. Therefore, most of the volume of the sulphide resource that was included in the May, 2008 Initial Resources Estimate is not included in this Study.
The horizontal polygon block method was used for this Study and a total of eight (8) horizontal plans were generated from drill data with polygon vertical influence set to a distance of 20 m between plans. The grade of 0.1 g/t Au is used to define the mineralized envelope of the deposit. The specific gravity used is 1.9 g/m(3), which represents a 30/70 compromise between quartz at 2.5 (used by WGM) and saprolite at 1.6 (AGG internal test report from trenches). The geological interpretation was projected to the bottom plan. This means that the average block size and grade for the 380 level represents the block from 380 m to 400 m. The same will apply for the pit design.

Pit Parameters
The parameters of the proposed pit are dictated mainly by the wall geometry and the production rate. The wall geometry depends on the geotechnical behaviour of the rock. A geotechnical study will be undertaken as part of a Feasibility Study, which is currently underway. The assumptions used in this report are based on the geology. The planned pit will have a depth of 160 m, in a saprolitic formation which does not require blasting. Weathering can affect the wall angles.
From the available information, it is suggested, prior to the results of a geotechnical study, to consider the following configuration:
-- bench height: 10 m
-- ramp width: 18 m
-- ramp grade: 10%
-- berm width: 5 m
-- berm frequency: every 20 m;
-- minimum working space required: 50 m;
-- bench face angle: 71 degrees.
-- Overall pit angle: Overall pit angle taking into account berms and one ramp access is approximately 36 degrees.
\"The economics associated with our Kobada gold project are outstanding. I have in excess of 30 years of working experience in West Africa and have participated in the development of numerous lateritic deposits, of which seven (7) are now in production. My experience has taught me that increasing: 1/ sampling density; 2/ sample support or weight; 3/ aliquot or the amount of material actually analyzed, are strongly beneficial to increasing in situ gold content. The historical records indicate that Kobada was originally analyzed using 15 g to 30 g fire assay (FA) for gold content analysis. AGG acquired Kobada in 2006 and commenced its sample analysis program using 50 g fire assay (FA50). AGG submitted a total of 4,280 samples to dual analysis in the 2006 and 2007 core drilling program. Screen fire assay (SFA) of 1,000 g aliquot reported 11% higher gold content when compared to the same sample analyzed using FA50. In 2009, I managed a RC drill program that was fully funded by an arm's length company. This company was sufficiently intrigued to investigate my hypothesis that Kobada gold could be recovered using a gravimetric recovery plant alone. RC drilling generated a larger sample support and aliquot versus historical core and rotary air blast drilling. I recommended analyzing using a significantly larger 2,000 g aliquot by Leachwell analysis versus the historical 15 g, 30 g and 50 g FA and 1,000 g SFA. My RC drill program using Leachwell analysis increased the gold grade by 31%. As part of the overall program, I recommended metallurgical testing be conducted on a 287 kg RC cutting composite made up from 127 samples derived from 8 distinct RC drill holes. The metallurgical tests included desliming, followed by both gravity and, separately, cyanidation of the deslimed portion. The deslimed portion had a gravity recoverable gold grade of 4.28 g/t Au from a 10 kg aliquot while duplicate 50 g FA aliquots of the same portion gave 1.07 g/t Au. Based on my experience, I state with confidence that Kobada will become a producing mine in the near future and I predict it will be a highly profitable, low cost, gravimetric operation,\" states AGG Director, Pierre Lalande, P.Geo.
