Gold boosts South African rand

ByVictoria

South Africa’s commodity-backed currency edged up on Monday, helped by higher gold prices, as investors digested last week’s unexpectedly weak U.S. jobs data and awaited tariff updates ahead of the United States’ August 8 deadline.

The bourse was boosted by South African miners, including Gold Fields , up 8%, AngloGold Ashanti (AU.N), at 6%, and Harmony Gold , which rose 7%.

“Our foremost priority is protecting our export industries. We will continue to engage the U.S. in an attempt to preserve market access for our products,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a newsletter on Monday

    Augusta Gold Corp. $1.70 per share

    Augusta Gold Corp. (TSX: G) (OTCQB: AUGG) (“Augusta Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Agreement”) with AngloGold Ashanti plc (“AngloGold Ashanti”) and certain of its affiliates, pursuant to which AngloGold Ashanti will acquire all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a price of C$1.70 per share of common stock (the “Price”) in cash (the “Transaction”).

    Richard Warke, Executive Chairman of Augusta Gold, commented, “The offer from AngloGold Ashanti represents a compelling offer to stockholders, locking in a meaningful premium and immediate liquidity as compared to waiting for the Reward Project to commence construction and then produce by mid-2027. Constructing the Reward Project would require additional dilution to raise the required equity, substantial time for construction, and time to get the mine operating at capacity. Taking the foregoing factors into consideration, I believe that the offer from AngloGold Ashanti represents a clearly superior path forward for stockholders.”
