The acquisition is poised to enhance Avanti Gold’s asset base in the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt, a region in Botswana known for its mining potential.
Avanti Gold is concurrently developing the Misisi Gold project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which spans 133km² along the Kibara Gold Belt.
In December 2023, Avanti Gold formalised a profit-sharing and cooperation agreement with Sycomines, the licensed artisanal gold mining association operating within Avanti Gold’s project areas.
This partnership is set to streamline gold production and sales processes, with all gold mined by Sycomines to be sold directly to Primera Gold DRC SA.
Under the agreement, Sycomines will be responsible for all gold mining activities on the Avanti Gold project sites.
The mined gold will then be sold exclusively to Primera Gold, a joint venture (JV) that includes the United Arab Emirates’ Primera Group and the DRC Government.
Primera Gold’s agreement with the DRC Government grants the JV the rights to purchase and export gold mined by artisanal methods.
