DRC Gold Corp Amends Term Sheet, Issues 25M Shares for Giro and Nizi Gold Projects

DRC Gold Corp has amended its binding term sheet and issued 25 million shares to secure an option to acquire up to a 65% indirect interest in the Giro gold project and up to a 65% interest in the Nizi gold project, both located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The amendment agreement, effective May 8, 2026, was entered into with Amani Consulting SARL, Giro Goldfields SARL and Mabanga Mining SARL. The initial issuance of 25,000,000 common shares is part of the consideration under the amended binding term sheet. This move signals the company's commitment to advancing its exploration and development activities in the DRC, a region known for its significant gold potential but also for operational and regulatory challenges.

For precious metals traders and investors, this development highlights ongoing corporate activity in the gold mining sector, particularly in Africa. While the news is company-specific, it reflects broader industry trends of consolidation and project advancement. Investors should monitor the progress of these projects as they could eventually contribute to global gold supply.
