Blue Gold soars on Nasdaq listing and newly announced expansion ambitions

The company is developing one of Ghana’s top gold assets and aims to buy up more mines

Blue Gold Limited (NASDAQ: BGL) was up by over 73 per cent at the end of the trading session on Tuesday following completion of its IPO on the Nasdaq Exchange last week. The trend continued after hours, putting shares up at US$100.00 apiece.

In a news release on Monday, Blue Gold said it would be expanding its footprint outside of the precious metal mining company’s Bogoso Prestea Mine in Ghana to other parts of West Africa and Latin America.

“These are producing gold assets, or assets close to production, whose owners are interested in taking a share-for-share exchange as consideration,” Blue Gold specified, “for increased liquidity.”

Bogoso Prestea is a past-producing operation that Blue Gold aims to restart with a US$53-million-dollar investment it recently attained. It has churned out over 9 million ounces of gold since 1912, making it one of the nation’s most prolific resources.

Ghana’s government currently holds a 10 per cent interest in the precious metal asset.

Last owner made a mess of everything

The news follows the Ghanaian government terminating the last operator’s lease in September over insufficient funding needed to adequately develop the site. Future Global Resources had been letting the asset fall into disrepair for three years leading up to that.

Prior to indebted Future Global’s failure to maintain the project, Bogoso Prestea was producing about 150,000 ounces per annum. It still holds approximately 5.1 million measured and indicated gold ounces.

Blue Gold’s recent success on the stock market appears to be driven largely by a bullish outlook for the gold sector and investor speculation as the company is yet to produce any ounces.

“We are especially pleased by the favourable macro tailwinds that have seen the price of gold increase from approximately US$2,000 per ounce at the time we entered this transaction to over US$3,000 per ounce at its close,” said Rick Gaenzle, Chief Executive Officer of Perception Capital Corp IV, on Jun 26.

Perception Capital is the special purpose acquisition company that Blue Gold merged with to make the Nasdaq listing possible. This triggered a 333 per cent pre-market spike on Jun 25.

“Congratulations to the team at Blue Gold Limited for completing their business combination,” said American investor Tao Tan in a popular social media post. “I’m thrilled to be joining the board as an independent director.”
