    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.”

    Codelco boots copper 2024 but strains workers, delays maintenance

    An internal document seen by Reuters showed Codelco’s production reached 1.328 million tons in 2024, at the low end of its target range and just about 3,500 tons higher than the quarter-century low in 2023.

    The worker, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to talk about internal operations, said Codelco has yet to fix bottlenecks in transporting minerals in the mine.

    Cristian Cifuentes, an analyst at the Center for Copper Studies (CESCO), said that the Ministro Hales mine is still at reduced capacity and the ramp up of Chuquicamata Underground has been “slower than we all thought.”

    United States Mint updates gold pricing on gold coin

    The United States Mint establishes pricing on numismatic gold coins via its pricing grid, and updates were published July 1 in the Federal Register.

    The LBMA closing spot price of gold per troy ounce June 30 was $3,287.45. If the average spot price were to remain at that level until the week of sales opening, the pricing grid predicts that the Mint would set the opening sale price at $2,150 for the Sacagawea 25th Anniversary half-ounce gold dollar and at $2,650 for the Superman half-ounce gold $50 coin.
