G Gains by 10.06% to $1.75 Per Share

Augusta Gold (TSX: G) gained by 10.06% today to close at $1.75 per share and will hit new 52-week highs very quickly!

Three weeks ago, G's President/CEO Donald Taylor who was previously COO of Arizona Mining prior to it being acquired for US$1.6 billion in cash (for a gain of 1,576% from NIA's suggestion price) said that G is close to completing its Engineering Studies for both Bullfrog and Reward.

When Corvus Gold released its Engineering Studies for North Bullfrog and Motherlode, AngloGold Ashanti (AU) announced a deal to acquire Corvus for US$460 million in cash only nine months later. G's Engineering Studies for Bullfrog and Reward could be released at any time now and we believe the odds are high that G gets acquired within the following nine months.

Let's assume AU acquires G for US$500 million approximately nine months from now. In all likelihood, the market will begin to price in this probability well in advance. Even if G doesn't reach a US$500 million market cap on its own, it should easily rise to a US$300-$400 million market cap by itself prior to any deal taking place. We see almost no downside risk at any market cap of less than US$150 million because it is 100% impossible for anybody to make an argument that G's assets aren't MANY times more valuable than the Sterling/Crown Project that AU acquired last month for US$150 million in cash!

G's Bullfrog+Reward Projects have a combined measured & indicated resource of 1,635,990 oz of gold plus an inferred resource of 285,000 oz of gold!

The Sterling/Crown Project that AU acquired last month for US$150 million in cash only has an inferred resource of 914,000 oz of gold! An inferred resource has a much lower level of confidence than that applied to a measured & indicated resource!

Not only does G have 2.1X more gold resources than the Sterling/Crown Project, but 85.2% of G's gold resources are measured & indicated. Only measured & indicated resources can become a proven & probable reserve! G's Bullfrog+Reward Projects on a very conservative basis are 3-4X more valuable than the Sterling/Crown Project, which was acquired by AU last month for US$150 million in cash! G is currently trading at a market cap of only US$100 million!
