Alma Gold

Overview

Alma Gold (CSE:ALMA,OTC:ALGLF) is a mineral exploration and development company focusing on its Dialakor and Karita gold projects in Guinea, West Africa.

Rising gold prices and a stagnating supply landscape are creating opportunities for new gold exploration.

West Africa is among the most prolific and productive gold exploration regions, globally. Alma Gold’s newest acquisition in Guinea, West Africa, the Dialakoro Gold Project, is located within the Upper Birimian to Lower Tarkwa Group of sedimentary rocks of the world-class orogenic gold producing district known as the Siguiri Basin in northeast Guinea. All indications are pointing to a significant gold mineralization. With four exploration licenses covering approximately 314 square kilometers, the Dialakoro Project is considered an extension of the Niaoulini–Kobada–Sanankoro gold-hosted regional structural corridor crossing the Guinea-Mali border.

Alma Gold’s Karita Gold Project, meanwhile, contains a total of four exploration permits located immediately adjacent to IAMGOLD’s (NYSE:IAG,TSX:IMG) newly discovered gold deposit. The Karita Gold Project sits on a Birimian-aged greenstone belt, an extensive mineralization zone that hosts prolific gold deposits. Alma Gold has a comprehensive exploration plan, which is currently moving toward the maiden drilling program stage.

The company also has a promising asset outside West Africa. The Clarence Stream North Gold Project is in New Brunswick, Canada, and has promising gold-in-soil assay results. The company plans to pursue the next phase of exploration, including additional infill soil surveys, and geological mapping and prospecting.

Alma Gold focuses on maintaining a high ESG rating at every step. The company actively engages with local communities, artisanal gold miners, and governments during the permitting process and closely monitors its environmental footprint in each region. The company’s CEO Greg Isenor has been widely recognized for his impressive ESG work in previous projects, with more than 20 years of experience working in West Africa, striving to build a strong ESG rating with every project.

An experienced management team with expertise throughout the natural resources industry leads Alma Gold toward growing its assets. Greg Isenor has a track record of leading successful gold discoveries in West Africa. Alma Gold director Jean Marc-Gagnon has over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, which includes developing gold projects in West Africa. Additional experts in mining, capital markets, international finance, and corporate administration round out the team.

The company’s Karita Gold Project covers 392.1 square kilometers in Guinea, West Africa. Alma Gold acquired the project in February 2021, and no exploration had been previously conducted on the property. The company’s exploration plan aims to determine the depths and grades of potential gold deposits.

Project Highlights:

Encouraging Adjacent Gold Deposit: The adjacent IAMGOLD deposit has produced encouraging drill results that indicate what’s possible at the Karita Project. Results include:29 meters at 2.96 g/t gold16 meters at 3.17 g/t gold21 meters at 9.01 g/t goldRobust Exploration Plan: The company has been following its comprehensive exploration plan leading up to its maiden drilling campaign to begin determining the extent of potential gold deposits. The plan includes the following:Ongoing mapping and prospectingInterpreting assay results from the termite mound sampling programMaiden air core drilling to follow up on termite assay resultsProlific Birimian Greenstones: The asset contains significant gold deposits within the Birimian-aged greenstone rocks in West Africa.
