Newcore Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: NCAU, OTCQX: NCAUF) is advancing its 100%-owned Enchi Gold Project in southwest Ghana. The project’s 248 sq km land package covers 40 kms of Ghana’s Bibiani Shear Zone, a gold belt which hosts several large, multi-million-ounce gold mines. A PEA completed in 2024 highlighted the robust economics of developing an open pit, heap leach mine at Enchi, with low capital intensity and strong leverage to the gold price. Enchi’s longer-term potential benefits from the district-scale exploration opportunity that is largely underexplored to date with both resource growth potential along strike and at depth. Newcore’s top-tier leadership is aligned with shareholders through their 18% equity ownership.
