Nexus Gold president and CEO Peter Berdusco said: "We are very pleased to add the Niangouela gold concession to our growing portfolio. It's location is close to our Bouboulou project, so dedicating resources makes good logistical and fiscal sense.

"We look forward to beginning our exploration work there as historical data shows excellent potential.”

At the site 556 pits and 11 trenches have been excavated and 1,137 samples have been collected to date.

Earlier programmes at the concession identified a zone which runs east-north-east and west-south-west occurs in the south central part of the concession.

Excavation at this zone recovered gold in soil samples up to 34g/t Au, rock samples have returned values up to 18g/t Au with trenching returned values of 4.85g/t Au over 10m.

Nexus took rock samples from this zone recently, which returned values from 1.12g/t Au to 2.49g/t Au.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All the issued securities associated with this transaction are constrained by a four month and one day statutory hold period.
