Cora Gold Ltd, the West African focused gold company, is pleased to report that the Farassaba III permit has been re-awarded, on the 12 February 2021, for a new nine-year term. The new permit, which covers the same 93km(2) area of the expired permit, comprises part of the +300km(2) group of four permits which are collectively known as Cora's 'Yanfolila Project Area'. The Yanfolila Project Area is located around the Yanfolila Gold Mine of Hummingbird Resources Plc (AIM:HUM). The permits range between 8km-30km in distance from the Yanfolila Gold Mine processing plant.

Bert Monro, CEO of Cora Gold, commented, "Farassaba III is one of four Cora permits that surround the operating 2Moz Yanfolila Gold Mine. The permits range from only 8km from the processing plant up to around 30km away so are within possible trucking distances if economic discoveries are proven on the permits. Cora has had some exciting drill results across this portfolio of permits and looks forward to completing further exploration on the ground during 2021."
