TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 17, 2014) - African Gold Group, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGG) ("African Gold Group" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors have appointed Mr. Misha Anthony Collins as Feasibility Study Coordinator. In addition, Mr. Collins has also been appointed to African Gold Group's Advisory Board. Both appointments are effective immediately. Management views this appointment as an important milestone for AGG as the Company embarks on "the road to production" at its Kobada Gold Project.

Mr. Collins, CFA. is currently the non-executive Chairman of Sihayo Gold Limited, an Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") listed company and non-executive director of ASX listed Ask Funding Limited. Misha has a diverse background in technical, financial and oversight roles. He is also a significant shareholder in African Gold Group. Mr. Collins holds a First Class Honors Degree in Metallurgical Engineering from RMIT University of Melbourne, Australia; has a Graduate Certificate in Banking and Finance from Monash University of Melbourne, Australia and holds a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment from the Securities Institute of Australia. Misha has also completed the Chartered Financial Analyst program and is a current CFA charter holder. Mr. Collins operates his own investment and corporate consultancy business and is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

President and CEO of African Gold Group Mr. Declan Franzmann, FAusIMM, comments, "We welcome the appointment of Misha to both African Gold Group's Advisory Board and as Feasibility Study Coordinator for our Kobada Gold Project. Misha's extensive metallurgical and financial experience will significantly strengthen and compliment African Gold Group's existing project development team. His expertise will be invaluable in AGG meeting its Q4, 2014 completion of the Kobada feasibility study, as well as, project development the following year."

Mr. Collins, African Gold Group's newly appointed Feasibility Study Coordinator, comments, "In my opinion there is a unique opportunity to build a significant and highly profitable gold business at Kobada with demonstration of concept at a meaningful but manageable scale followed by rapid incremental growth. Kobada has unique metallurgical characteristics with previous test work indicating the majority of the deposit is characterized by relatively coarse, free milling gold distributed in a saprolitic rock mass. The saprolite exhibits a very high percentage of material with a fine grain size. The combination of fine saprolite and relatively coarse gold is very significant, providing an opportunity for high mass rejection at low cost but with high gold recovery. When this aspect is combined with high subsequent gravity recoveries as previous work has demonstrated, there is the potential for this project to deliver exceptional returns. The large resource also allows for a long mine life and scalable growth well beyond the initial 5,000 ton per day modular plant currently being contemplated. All in all, this is a very exciting time, both personally and as a shareholder of African Gold Group. I look forward to working with the team we are putting together to deliver financially rewarding outcomes for all shareholders."
