NEW YORK, NY, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) ("Blue Gold" or the "Company"), a next-generation gold development and technology company, is pleased to announce it has signed a non-binding term sheet with FGR Bogoso Prestea Limited to acquire 90% of the Mampon Gold Mine, a high-grade gold and copper deposit located in Ghana's world-renowned Ashanti Gold Belt. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the non-binding term sheet or at all.
If consummated, this acquisition would strengthen Blue Gold's portfolio by adding another mining project that not only complements its existing gold project, but also supports the Company's gold-backed stablecoin initiative, giving investors exposure to real, verified assets.
Andrew Cavaghan, CEO of Blue Gold Limited, stated, "The Mampon Gold Mine would be an exceptional fit for our strategy. With high-grade reserves, room for significant drilling expansion, and its location in a world-class gold district, we believe Mampon represents a near-term value driver for Blue Gold. Importantly, the transaction structure aligns shareholder value with confirmed resource growth, representing an efficient use of capital."
Transaction Overview
According to the non-binding term sheet, Blue Gold would acquire 90% ownership of a Ghana-based company to which the Mampon mining lease would be transferred, with the remaining 10% held by the Government of Ghana. As part of the initial deal, Blue Gold would issue shares worth approximately USD 26.25 million (based on a USD 35 per share price) to complete the acquisition. Beyond this upfront payment, the sellers have the potential to earn additional payments as Mampon's gold and copper resources are confirmed and upgraded through independent reports paid for by the seller. For every ounce of confirmed gold Blue Gold will pay up to USD 45 per ounce, (capped at 6 million ounces), and for every ton of confirmed copper, it will pay up to USD 55 per ton, (capped at 4 million tons). These payments will be made in stages as the project proves its growth potential, ensuring that Blue Gold only pays more when the value of the mine increases.
Strategic Acquisition
The Mampon gold mine has an estimated 300,000 ounces of Measured & Indicated (M&I) gold resources, based on an independent expert report completed for the seller. It is located just 80 km north of Bogoso and the carbon-in-leach processing plant, Mampon benefits from reliable infrastructure and its strategic proximity to Blue Gold's flagship operations. This acquisition would strengthen Blue Gold's presence in Ghana's Ashanti Gold Belt, complementing its 2024 acquisition of the 5.1 Moz Measured & Indicated (M&I) gold resource Bogoso-Prestea Mine.. Most importantly, Blue Gold believes the acquisition would advance its mission of responsible, sustainable, and innovative mining while unlocking long-term value for shareholders.
